وَلَا
تَقْرَبُوا
مَالَ
الْيَتِيمِ
إِلَّا
بِالَّتِي
هِيَ
أَحْسَنُ
حَتَّى
يَبْلُغَ
أَشُدَّهُ
وَأَوْفُوا
الْكَيْلَ
وَالْمِيزَانَ
بِالْقِسْطِ
لَا
نُكَلِّفُ
نَفْسًا
إِلَّا
وُسْعَهَا
وَإِذَا
قُلْتُمْ
فَاعْدِلُوا
وَلَوْ
كَانَ
ذَا
قُرْبَى
وَبِعَهْدِ
اللَّهِ
أَوْفُوا
ذَلِكُمْ
وَصَّاكُم
بِهِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَذَكَّرُونَ

Do not handle the property of the orphans except with a good reason until they become mature and strong. Maintain equality in your dealings by the means of measurement and balance. No soul is responsible for what is beyond it's ability. Be just in your words, even if the party involved is one of your relatives and keep your promise with God. Thus does your Lord guide you so that you may take heed.
