Answer 8

for starters, it took those who used to bury their daughters out of ignorance and made them the best people on the surface of the earth because of their conduct characters morals and behavior. it set a standard for all human beings to follow. not to love someone(besides parents) too much because they might turn against you, and not to some one too much cuz they might help you. to be moderate in spending, not to waste, look into the quran and sunnah, and youll find most of it is about how to live daily life. the rituals of eid, prayer and fasting are less mentioned than are conduct and morals

Answer 9
