The Seven virtues
After receiving the first eight verses of the holy Quran in the Cave of the Mt. Hera in 610 AD, the Prophet Muhammad (SM) returned to his residence shivering. He said to his wife Hazrat Khadiza, I know not whether shall I be able to carry out the great responsibility conferred upon me by Allah. Khadiza said: Worry not. Allah will not disgrace you because all the seven characteristics of humanity are stored in you.
These are 1) to maintain good relations with kindred and to give them their due, 2) to maintain truthfulness, 3) to remain faithful to trusts, 4) to arrange food, clothing and shelter for orphans, widows, blinds, crippled and disable, 5) to help an unemployed man to get job, 6) to show hospitality, 7) and to stand by the natural calamities affected people.
Now may I advise the western world about their reaction.
