say come let me convey unto you what god has forbidden to you do not ascribe divinity in any way to aught beside him and do good unto your parents and do not kill your children for fear of poverty it is we who shall provide sustenance for you as well as for them and do not commit any shameful deeds be they open or secret and do not take any human beings life which god has declared to be sacred otherwise than in justice this has he enjoined upon you so that you might use your reason and do not touch the substance of an orphan save to improve itbefore he comes of age. and give full measure and weight with equity we do not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear and when you voice an opinion be just even though it be one near of kin. and observe your bond with god this has he enjoined upon you so that you might keep it in mind.
قل تعالوا أتل ما حرم ربكم عليكم ألا تشركوا به شيئا وبالوالدين إحسانا ولا تقتلوا أولادكم من إملاق نحن نرزقكم وإياهم ولا تقربوا الفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ذلكم وصاكم به لعلكم تعقلون ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم إلا بالتي هي أحسن حتى يبلغ أشده وأوفوا الكيل والميزان بالقسط لا نكلف نفسا إلا وسعها وإذا قلتم فاعدلوا ولو كان ذا قربى وبعهد الله أوفوا ذلكم وصاكم به لعلكم تذكرون
