In Islam, you supposedly have to live a "good" life to get into paradise. But The Bible, which is the only reliable source, says, "there are none that seek after God, no not one. We must trust the only One Who is trustworthy - Jesus Christ
The main moral sources of Islam are the Quran and prophet Muhammad sayings and practices. Refer to question below.

Apart from the basic beliefs and the pillars of Islam, following are a few guide lines presnted by Islam to lead a pious and peaceful life.

Tolerance in Islam: Al-Imra'an 3: Aya 134: Those who spend whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain anger and pardon all men, for Allah loves those who do good.

Allah Almighty says in sura 109 Kafiroon:

Say unto those who reject Faith. "I worship not that you worship

Nor you will worship that which I worship

I am not going to worship that which you worship

Nor will you worship that which I worship. (so) To you is your way (Din) and to me is mine (Din)."

Sacred Struggle, Fight: Jihad: Al-Baqra-2: Aya: 190; Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, --But do not transgress limits. For Allah does not love transgressors. Aya-193: And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah, but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who are oppressors.

Charity: Baqra-2: Aya: 215: They ask you what to spend in charity. Say (to them) Whatever you spend is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers and whatever you do is good, Allah knows it well.

Justice: Ana'am-6: Aya: 152; Give measure and weight with full justice

Al-Nisa-4: 45; We ordained therein for them, "Life for Life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." Allah likes forgiveness.

Justice: Al-Nahl 16: Aya 90: Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion, He instructs you, that you may receive admonition.

179: In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) life to you, o ye men of understanding! That ye may restrain yourselves.

Islam lays great importance on deeds of kindness and compassion.

Usury: 275: Those who devour usury will not stand except as him who stands whom the Evil One has touched and driven to madness, that is because they say: "Trade is like usury," But Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury.

Oppression: Al-Maida 5: Aya 32: We ordained for the children of Israel that if anyone slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he slew whole people: And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of whole people

Trade: Al-Nisa-4: O ye who believe eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity

But let there be among you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destry) yourselves: for verily Allah has been to you most Merciful.

Manners to be observed by Muslims:

Ridicule, taunts, and biting words should be avoided in presence or in absence. Suspicion and spying are unworthy of men who believe. All humans are descended from one pair. Their honor depends not on race, but on righteousness. Faith is not a matter of words, but of accepting Allah's pleasure, and striving in His cause.

Al-Hujraat -49: Aya: 11: O you who believe! Let not some men amongst you laugh at others, it may be that the (latter) are better than the former: Nor let some women laugh at others, may be that the latter are better than the former.

Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames, Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness (to be used of one) after he has believed. And those who do not desist are indeed doing wrong.

Aya: 12: O Ye who believe: avoid suspicion as much as possible: for suspicion in some cases is sin: And spy not on each other, and nor speak ill of each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay you would abhor it. But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, most Merciful.

Baqra 2-177: It is not Righteousness that ye turn your faces to East or west.

But it is righteousness to believe in Allah, and the last Day, and the Angels, And the Book, and the Prophets, to spend of your substance out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the way-farers, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves, to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity, to fulfil the contracts which you have made, and to be firm and patient, in pain (and suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic, such are the people of truth and God-fearing.

178: O ye who believe! The law of equality is prescribed to you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman, but if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord, after this whosoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.

Cleanliness, purity, truth, obedience, kindness, sacrifice, right conduct, trust in Allah, Allah's loving care encompasses us, it is His protection we should seek. and other virtues lead to glorious spiritual Fellowship justice to women, orphans, and to all.
