وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُوا۟ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَآ أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ
2:171 The example of such disbelievers is that of parrots who repeat what they hear of sounds and calls, without understanding. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they cannot understand.
وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
Quran and Morality
Unlike the Hadith, which is riddled with immorality, the Quran promotes what any sensible person would deem moral and virtuous. Throughout the Quran, it advocates charity, honesty, integrity, patience, justice, kindness, forgiveness, and giving a voice to the weak. Not only is this rampant in the text, but it is the names that God uses to describe Himself, most notably in the opening statement of the Quran.
1:1 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
