Say: "Come let me recite what your Lord has made sacred for you:
- that you should not set up anything with Him; and
- do good to your parents; and
- do not kill your children due to poverty, We provide for you, as well as for them; and
- do not come near immorality, what is public of it and private;
- and do not kill the life that Allah has made forbidden, except through justice.
That is what He enjoined you that you may comprehend."
[6:152]
"And
- do not come near the money of the orphan, except for what is best, until he reaches his independence; and
- give honestly full measure and weight equitably. We do not burden a soul except with what it can bear, and
- if you speak then be just even if against a relative; and
- regarding the pledges made to Allah, you shall observe them.
This He has enjoined you that you may remember."
[6:153]
And this is My path, a straight one.
- "So follow it, and
- do not follow the other paths lest they divert you from His path.
That is what He has enjoined you to that you may be righteous."
