It's not hard to find examples of people saying Islam teaches people to be nice to others: > Islam places great emphasis on manners and on the proper way to deal with others, whether they are Muslims or not. -- Questions About Islam > > Thus, it is not permissible under any circumstances for Muslims to mistreat a non-Muslim who has not committed any aggression against them; they are not allowed to harm, threaten or terrorize him, steal his wealth, cheat him or deprive him of his rights. -- How are Muslims supposed to treat people of other faiths? My overall impression on reading the Qur'an was that it's quite important for Muslims to be nice to others (and I try to be nice to others [I don't always succeed, but you know...]). It's something I've experienced personally from other Muslims all over the world, and it's now something I assume (You're Muslim? That means you'll be nice to me.) and I mostly haven't been disappointed. However, I don't recall a precise ayah that means "be nice to others" in simple, general terms. **Question**: Are there ayat to the effect of "be nice to others" in the Qur'an?
