- Filial piety: does Islam honour parents too?
- Is being a good person enough?
- Is a good family and society enough without God?

- Has anyone met the Qur'an's challenge to write a chapter like it?
- I follow Confucius's teaching: why consider Islam?
Where next
Whatever came before is forgiven
If you become Muslim, your past sins are wiped away. When Amr ibn al-As came to accept Islam, he held back his hand until he knew he would be forgiven, and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him whether he did not know that Islam wipes out everything that came before it. The Qur'an promises more: for the one who repents, believes and does good, God changes his bad deeds into good ones.
