Qul taAAalaw atlu ma harrama rabbukum AAalaykum alla tushrikoo bihi shay-an wabialwalidayni ihsanan wala taqtuloo awladakum min imlaqin nahnu narzuqukum wa-iyyahum wala taqraboo alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana wala taqtuloo alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum taAAqiloona\n151. Say: \"Come, I will rehearse\n What God hath (really)\n Prohibited you from\": join not\n Anything as equal with Him;\n Be good to your parents;\n Kill not your children\n On a plea of want;\u2014We\n Provide sustenance for you\n And for them;\u2014come not\n Nigh to shameful deeds,\n Whether open or secret;\n Take not life, which God\n Hath made sacred, except\n By way of justice and law:\n Thus doth He command you,\n That ye may learn wisdom.\n152. Wala taqraboo mala alyateemi illa biallatee hiya ahsanu hatta yablugha ashuddahu waawfoo alkayla waalmeezana bialqisti la nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha wa-itha qultum faiAAdiloo walaw kana tha qurba wabiAAahdi Allahi awfoo thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum tathakkaroona\n152. And come not nigh\n To the orphan's property,\n Except to improve it,\n Until he attain the age\n Of full strength; give measure\n And weight with (full) justice;\u2014\n No burden do We place\n On any soul, but that\n Which it can bear;\u2014\n Whenever ye speak, speak justly,\nEven if a near relative\n Is concerned; and fulfil\n The Covenant of God:\n Thus doth He command you,\n That ye may remember.\n153. Waanna hatha siratee mustaqeeman faittabiAAoohu wala tattabiAAoo alssubula fatafarraqa bikum AAan sabeelihi thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum tattaqoona\n153. Verily, this is My Way,\n Leading straight: follow it:\n Follow not (other) paths:\n They will scatter you about\n From His (great) Path:\n Thus doth He command you,\n That ye may be righteous.\n154. Thumma atayna moosa alkitaba tamaman AAala allathee ahsana watafseelan likulli shay-in wahudan warahmatan laAAallahum biliqa-i rabbihim yu/minoona\n154. Moreover, We gave Moses\n The Book, completing\n (Our favour) to those\n Who would do right,\n And explaining all things\n In detail,\u2014and a guide\n And a mercy, that they\n Might believe in the meeting\n With their Lord.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VI.: An\u2019\u0101m, or Cattle.: Section 19 (151-154)","type":"page"}
