Quran 10:47: "To every community (Ummah) We have appointed a [unique] way of worship (shir'ah), which they should follow. So, do not let them dispute with you in this matter. And invite them to your Lord. Surely, you are on the right guidance." This verse emphasizes that every community has been given a unique way of worship (shir'ah) that they must follow. The word "shir'ah" here refers to a comprehensive way of life, including religious, social, and ethical practices that are specific to each community. The verse also instructs Muslims to invite others to follow the path of Islam, but without getting into disputes about their respective ways of worship.

Quran 16:36: "We have sent a messenger to every community, saying, 'Worship Allah, and keep away from all false deities.' Among them were some whom Allah guided, and among them were others who deserved to be lost. So, travel through the land, and see what was the end of those who rejected the truth." This verse highlights that Allah has sent messengers to every community, instructing them to worship Him alone and avoid false deities. The verse also suggests that some people will be guided by Allah's message, while others will reject it and be lost. The verse encourages Muslims to reflect on the consequences of rejecting the truth and to seek guidance by observing the fate of those who did not accept Allah's message.

In summary, these verses from the Quran mentioned in the conversation emphasize the importance of various moral values such as fairness, kindness, avoiding sins, avoiding conceit, and respecting others' beliefs and ways of worship. They also highlight the importance of following the guidance of Allah and the messengers He sent to each community.
