006.151 Y:  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.

P:  Say:  Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you:  That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury — We provide for you and for them — and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed.  And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice.  This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern.

S:  Say:  Come I will recite what your Lord has forbidden to you—­ (remember) that you do not associate anything with Him and show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty—­ We provide for you and for them—­ and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He has enjoined you with that you may understand.

006.152 Y:  And come not nigh to the orphan’s property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the covenant of Allah:  thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.

P:  And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity.  Give full measure and full weight, in justice.  We task not any soul beyond its scope.  And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah.  This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember.

S:  And do not approach the property of the orphan except in the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give full measure and weight with justice—­ We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability; and when you speak, then be just though it be (against) a relative, and fulfill Allah’s covenant; this He has enjoined you with that you may be mindful;

006.153 Y:  Verily, this is My way, leading straight:  follow it:  follow not (other) paths:  they will scatter you about from His (great) path:  thus doth He command you, that ye may be righteous.

P:  And (He commandeth you, saying):  This is My straight path, so follow it.  Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way.  This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).
