Help others when you can.
Morality in our species history has always been a point of view thing. You think it is moral to sell Allah, Christians thing it is moral to sell Jesus. Hindus their religion, and Jews theirs and so on.
What has not changed in our species long before any written religion or nation for that matter, what has not changed is evolution has produced EMPATHY for others. The problem with humans is that empathy is limited to that which the person is born into, and it is hard for most to view the world globally. Our species has a tendency to protect that which is local. But that does not change that compassion is a species attribute and not a religious patent.
A Hindu mother and Jewish Mother and Christian mother and Atheist mother are likely to defend their own kid against any threat against that kid. Same with men. What humans have a hard time with is the global reality that we all share the same common ancestors.
You want to use this post to point to Allah as the origin of our species morality. Problem is so do Jews and Christians and Hindus and Buddhists.
But evolution is where morality is coming from which is why these elephants did what they did.
