Recognizing groups by their character traits

[AlkitabAdvocate]

Quran mentions several groups of people with certain names or labels, such as Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc. When Quran introduces these labels it also gives behaviors and character traits of these people. An important point to understand is that when Quran mentions for example ‘Jews’ it means those people who act according to traits given in Quran for Jews, and not by what the world calls them or not by what label they put on themselves.

And when Quran mentions ‘Muslims’, then those people who match the character traits of ‘Muslims’ in Quran are meant. The labels that people put on themselves don’t matter. If some people call and label themselves as ‘Muslims’, however, their actions actually match the traits of ‘Jews’ given in the Book, then they are actually ‘Jews’ in the eyes of the Lord. Vice Versa, if some people call and label themselves as ‘Jews’, however they do not match the characteristics of ‘Jews’ in the Book, they are not ‘Jews’ in the eyes of the Lord.

With this point in mind, lets review some of the character traits given in Quran for groups and see if we can recognize some of these behaviors in the link to below post:
