SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 27

Part 2

The second reason for these disobedient people getting misguided by these examples in the Holy Quran is that they have broken all those relationships that Allah Ta'alah had commanded all human beings to maintain. These relationships include the one between Allah Ta'alah and His servant, as well as the ones between people and their parents, their relatives, their neighbours, their co-workers, and those with Muslims in general and every other human being. Islam mean fulfilling one's obligations with regard to ALL of these relationships. The neglect of these relationships leads to disorder in this world and that is why the Holy Quran says, وَيُفۡسِدُونَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ , "AND SPREAD DISORDER ON THE EARTH".
