An-Nahl, Chapter #16, Verse #32, "Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allah Alone) saying (to them): Salamun 'Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of that (THE GOOD) WHICH YOU USED TO DO (IN THE WORLD)." The phrase, (the good) which you used to do (in the world), is mentioned above instead of the phrase, (the good), which you used to do (in the muslims), As the phrase, (the good) which you used to do (in the world), is mentioned above, Quran certainly discourages muslims to create havoc, violence and etc. in the society.
