al-Isrā’ (The Night Journey)
ٱلْإِسْرَاء
17:31
وَلَا
تَقْتُلُوا
أَوْلَادَكُمْ
خَشْيَةَ
إِمْلَاقٍ
نَّحْنُ
نَرْزُقُهُمْ
وَإِيَّاكُمْ
إِنَّ
قَتْلَهُمْ
كَانَ
خِطْئًا
كَبِيرًا
wa-lā taqtulū ʾawlādakum khashyata ʾimlāqin naḥnu narzuquhum wa-ʾiyyākum ʾinna qatlahum kāna khiṭʾan kabīran
Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We will give sustenance to all of you. To kill them is certainly a great sin.
