وَإِذْ
أَخَذْنَا
مِيثَاقَ
بَنِي
إِسْرَائِيلَ
لَا
تَعْبُدُونَ
إِلَّا
اللَّهَ
وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ
إِحْسَانًا
وَذِي
الْقُرْبَى
وَالْيَتَامَى
وَالْمَسَاكِينِ
وَقُولُوا
لِلنَّاسِ
حُسْنًا
وَأَقِيمُوا
الصَّلَاةَ
وَآتُوا
الزَّكَاةَ
ثُمَّ
تَوَلَّيْتُمْ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا
مِّنكُمْ
وَأَنتُم
مُّعْرِضُونَ

We made a covenant with the children of Israel that they should not worship anyone except Me, that they should serve their parents, relatives, orphans, and the destitute, that they should speak righteous words to people, and that they should be steadfast in their prayers and pay the religious tax. But soon after you made this covenant, all but a few of you broke it heedlessly.
