say to them come let me recite what your lord has laid down to you that you associate nothing with him and do good to your parents and do not slay your children out of fear of poverty. we provide you and will likewise provide them with sustenance and do not even draw to things shameful be they open or secret and do not slay the soul santified by allah except in just cause this he has enjoined upon you so that you may understand and do not even draw near to the property of the orphan in his minority except in the best manner and give full measures and weight with justice we do not burden anyone beyond his capacity when you speak be just even though it concern a near of kin and fulfil the covenant of allah. that is what he has enjoined upon you so that you may take heed.
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
