قُلْ
تَعَالَوْا
أَتْلُ
مَا
حَرَّمَ
رَبُّكُمْ
عَلَيْكُمْ
أَلَّا
تُشْرِكُوا
بِهِ
شَيْئًا
وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ
إِحْسَانًا
وَلَا
تَقْتُلُوا
أَوْلَادَكُم
مِّنْ
إِمْلَاقٍ
نَّحْنُ
نَرْزُقُكُمْ
وَإِيَّاهُمْ
وَلَا
تَقْرَبُوا
الْفَوَاحِشَ
مَا
ظَهَرَ
مِنْهَا
وَمَا
بَطَنَ
وَلَا
تَقْتُلُوا
النَّفْسَ
الَّتِي
حَرَّمَ
اللَّهُ
إِلَّا
بِالْحَقِّ
ذَلِكُمْ
وَصَّاكُم
بِهِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَعْقِلُونَ

(Muhammad), say, "Let me tell you about what your Lord has commanded: Do not consider anything equal to God; Be kind to your parents; Do not murder your children out of fear of poverty, for We give sustenance to you and to them. Do not even approach indecency either in public or in private. Take not a life which God has made sacred except by way of justice and law. Thus does He command you that you may learn wisdom.
