Readings from the Quran [8]: Some Commandments

Do not commit adultery, for it is foul and indecent.

Do not kill any person whom God has forbidden you to kill.
If you kill someone unjustly, that person's heir is entitled to take revenge.
But the heir should not carry vengeance too far,
for the victim will in turn take revenge - and be assisted in this.

Do not interfere with the property of orphans
until they reach maturity, except from proper motives.

Keep your promises; you are accountable for all you promise.

When you sell goods, give full measure; and weigh with honest scales.
Not only is this fair; it will also benefit you in the end.

Do not follow advice which you do not understand.
Make detailed inquiries with you eyes, ears and heart.

Do not walk proudly on the earth.
You cannot split the earth, nor can you rival the mountains in stature.

Avoid all evil; avoid all that is odious is the sight of the Lord.

These injunctions form part of the wisdom with which the Lord has inspired Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him].
Serve not other god besides God, lest you should be cast into hell, despised and helpless.
