Chapter 17, Page 285, Juz 15

31. Do not kill your children for fear of poverty––We shall provide for them and for you––killing them is a great sin. 32. And do not go anywhere near adultery: it is an outrage, and an evil path. 33. Do not take life, which God has made sacred, except by right: if anyone is killed wrongfully, We have given authority to the defender of his rights, but he should not be excessive in taking life, for he is already aided [by God]. 34. Do not go near the orphan’s property, except with the best [intentions], until he reaches the age of maturity. Honour your pledges: you will be questioned about your pledges. 35. Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with accurate scales: that is better and fairer in the end. 36. Do not follow blindly what you do not know to be true: ears, eyes, and heart, you will be questioned about all these. 37. Do not strut arrogantly about the earth: you cannot break it open, nor match the mountains in height. 38. The evil of all these actions is hateful to your Lord. 39. [Prophet], this is some of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you: do not set up another god beside God, or you will be thrown into Hell, blamed and rejected. 40. What? Has your Lord favoured you people with sons and taken daughters for Himself from the angels?What a monstrous thing for you to say!

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
