What does it say in the Quran?

[Ali Mujahidin]

I was not born a Muslim, so I learned most of my guiding principles in life from non-Islamic sources. I am sure that the Holy Quran states those ideas in an even better way. However, my knowledge of the Holy Quran is abysmal and it would take me a few lifetimes, at least, to study it thoroughly. So, if any brothers or sisters who are more knowledgeable can give a hand, I would be most happy.

For a start, I try to live my life according to this principle:

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Does anyone know how the Holy Quran says that? (In a much better way, I am sure)

JazakuLLah.

He does a brief commentary of this ayah:
42:39-43

go to quran dot com & type 42:39-43

JazakuLLah. That's good. Does the Holy Quran say the same thing in just one line?

What exactly you are looking for is captured in the hadith of Prophet SAW where he said
من لا يرحم لا يرحم
Whosoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. i.e. do onto other what you want them to do to you.
