17.2 Commandments and Resurrection Questions

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفࣲّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلࣰا كَرِيمࣰا

 

وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرࣰا

 

رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْۚ إِن تَكُونُوا۟ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورࣰا

 

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا

 

إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورࣰا

 

وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ رَحْمَةࣲ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلࣰا مَّيْسُورࣰا

 

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ ٱلْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومࣰا مَّحْسُورًا

 

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرࣰا

 
Further Commandments for Believers  

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin.

 

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

 

And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in ˹the matter of˺ taking life. Indeed, he has been supported ˹by the law˺.

 

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill ˹every˺ commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever ˹that about which one will be˺ questioned.

 

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best ˹way˺ and best in result.

 

And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those ˹one˺ will be questioned.

 

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth ˹apart˺, and you will never reach the mountains in height.

 

All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.

 

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, ˹O Muhammad˺, of wisdom. And, ˹O mankind˺, do not make ˹as equal˺ with Allah another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.

 

Then, has your Lord chosen you for ˹having˺ sons and taken from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying.

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلَٰقࣲۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْۚ إِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْـࣰٔا كَبِيرࣰا

 

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةࣰ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلࣰا

 

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومࣰا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلْطَٰنࣰا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّي ٱلْقَتْلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورࣰا

 

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ مَالَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِٱلْعَهْدِۖ إِنَّ ٱلْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔولࣰا

 

وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرࣱ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلࣰا

 

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْبَصَرَ وَٱلْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔولࣰا

 

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ ٱلْجِبَالَ طُولࣰا

 

كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهࣰا

 

ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَىٰ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومࣰا مَّدْحُورًا

 

أَفَأَصْفَىٰكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًاۚ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيمࣰا
