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

Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Say, ‘Come, I will recount what your Lord has forbidden you. That you shall not ascribe any partners to Him, and you shall be good to the parents, you shall not kill your children due to penury—We will provide for you and for them—you shall not approach indecencies, the outward among them and the inward ones, and you shall not kill a soul [whose life] Allah has made inviolable, except with due cause. This is what He has enjoined upon you so that you may exercise your reason.
