Third Part is appended below : May We all find time to read and reflect.

36.  Take care of -The needy,-The disabled- Those whose hard earned income is insufficient to meet their needs- And those whose businesses have stalled – And those who have lost  their jobs.  [4/36]. {AND WORSHIP ALLAH (alone), and do not ascribe divinity, in any way, to aught beside Him. And do good unto your parent, and near of kin, and unto orphans, and the needy, and the neighbor from your own people, and the neighbor who is stranger, and the friends by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom you rightfully possess. Verily, Allah does not love any of those who, full of self-conceit, act in a boastful manner. 

37.  Treat kindly -Your related neighbors, and unrelated neighbors-Companions by your side in public gatherings, or public transportation.  [4/36]. {See 36 above}. 

38.  Be generous to the needy wayfarer,  the homeless son of the street, and the one who reaches you in a destitute condition [4/36]. {See 36 above}.

39.  Be nice to people who work under your care.  [4/36].  {See 36 above}.

40.  Do not follow up what you have given to others to afflict them with reminders of your generosity [2/262]. {They who spend their possessions for the sake of Allah and do not thereafter mar their spending by stressing their own benevolence and hurting [the feelings of the needy] shall have their reward with their Sustainer, and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve}.

41.  Do not expect a return for your good behavior, not even thanks [76/9]. {- - - [saying in their hearts] "we feed you for the sake of Allah alone: we desire no recompense from you, nor thanks:"}.

42.  Cooperate with one another in good deeds and do not cooperate with others in evil and bad matters [5/2].  {- - - - but rather help one another in furthering virtue and Allah-consciousness, and do not help one another in furthering evil and enmity; and remain conscious of Allah: for, behold, Allah is severe in retribution ! }.

43.  Do not try to impress people on account of self-proclaimed virtues [53/32]. {As for those who  avoid the [truly] grave sins and shameful deeds - even though they may sometimes stumble - behold, your Sustainer is abounding in forgiveness. He is fully aware of you when He brings you into being out of dust, and when you are still hidden in your mothers' wombs: do not, then, consider yourselves pure - [for] He knows best as to who is conscious of Him}. 

44.  You should enjoin right conduct on others but mend your own ways first.  Actions speak louder than words.  You must first practice good deeds yourself, then preach [2/44]. {Do you bid other people to be pious, the while you forget your own selves - and you recite the divine writ? Will you not, then, use your reason?}.

45.  Correct yourself and your families first [before trying to correct others] [66/6]. {O YOU who have attained to faith ! Ward off from yourselves and those who are close to you that fire [of the hereafter] whose fuel is human beings and stones: [lording] over it are angelic powers awesome [and] severe, who do not disobey Allah in whatever He has commanded them, but [always] do what they are bidden to do}.

46.  Pardon gracefully if anyone among you who commits a bad deed out of ignorance, and then repents and amends [6/54, 3/134]. {Who spend [in His way] in time of plenty and in time of hardship, and hold in check their anger, and pardon their fellow-men because Allah loves the doers of good:}.

47.  Divert and sublimate your anger and potentially virulent emotions to creative energy, and become a source of tranquility and comfort to people [3/134]. {See 46 above}.

48.  Call people to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful exhortation.  Reason with them most decently [16/125]. {CALL YOU [all mankind] unto your Sustainer's path with wisdom and goodly exhortation and argue with them in the most kindly manner: for, behold, your Sustainer knows best as to who strays from his path, and best knows He as to who are the right-guided}.

49.  Leave to themselves those who do not give any importance to the Divine code and have adopted and consider it as mere play and amusement [6/70]. {And leave to themselves all those who, beguiled bu the life of this world, have made play and passing delights their religion; but remind [them] herewith that [in the life to come] every human being shall be held in pledge for whatever wrong he has done, and shall have none to protect him from Allah, and none to intercede for him; and though he offer any conceivable ransom,it shall not be accepted from him. It is [people such as] these that shall be held in pledge for the wrong they have done; for them there is [in the life to come] a draught of burning despair, and grievous suffering awaits them because of their persistent refusal to acknowledge the truth}.

50.  Sit not in the company of those who ridicule Divine Law unless they engage in some other conversation [4/140]. {And indeed, He has enjoined upon you in this divine writ that whenever you hear people deny the truth of Allah's messages and mock at them, you shall avoid their company until they begin to talk of other things - or else, verily, you will become like them. Behold, together with those who deny the truth Allah will gather in hell the hypocrites}.
