It means exactly what I am always telling these Christians and atheists that can't stop attacking eachother in this place.
Worry about yourself, your actions and your beliefs, and be respectful and understanding of other peoples feelings and beliefs, wether you agree or not. It is not our job to judge everybody around us, that is God's job, and he doesn't need our help.

Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Quran:

Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest. (Quran, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Quran will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:


But whoever turns away from the Quran,1 he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. (Quran, 20:124)

This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.2

We all are deeply dependent on luck, and subject to the cruelties of life. We all need love. We all share the same existential conditions. We are all different, but also equals. And to understand this at the bottom of our hearts is to become humble, and to renounce vanity and pride. To be humble is not to give too much importance to our strength, power, or intelligence. Humility can be a major virtue.

Dont overcomplicate things, just treat others with kindness, and compassion. Only god knows what the future holds so dont waste time worrying about things you cant control.

Another way I could interpret it without the spiritual reference would be "treat others as you wish to be treated" This is the key to life
