The Bible is the reason why every man in this world is called to be merciful, and for this reason, as a Muslim, you are very much obliged to follow in the footstep of your teacher and ask him what the Koran teaches about how to treat others.
For example, 1 Corinthians 13:3-6
3 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
4 For evil is as evil does, and evil does not possess strength. 5 Do not rejoice that the wicked are punished,
Do not rejoice that the vile is punished,
For they shall soon be with you. 6 But rejoice that the righteous are rewarded.
The message of the Qur’an and the Hadith
The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, “The purest and most noble trait in the creature is kindness”.
The words of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), The purest and most noble trait in the creature is kindness. Allah reveals:
“If you show kindness, people will show kindness to you and if you show abuse, people will abuse you” (Bukhari #1825).
The words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), The purest and most noble trait in the creature is kindness.
The Islamic perspective
The Muslims believe that we should show the same kindness to others that we expect them to show to us.
According to the Islamic perspective, people should be treated with kindness, kindness should be shown to those whom we consider fair and those whom we consider the worst of the worst.
A husband has the right to deal with his wife in whatever way he wishes, and the wife has the right to treat her husband in the same manner she wishes.
Similarly, a servant has the right to do as he wishes with the person he is serving. But at the same time, that servant has the right to return that service to his master as he wishes.
The Golden Rule: Treat others as you wish to be treated
As mentioned above, Muhammad (Sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“If you show kindness, people will show kindness to you and if you show abuse, people will abuse you.”

God does not want you to take the possessions of others without their permission. Nor does He want you to take the things which are not yours.
