31 And kill not your children for fear of poverty — We provide for them and for you. Surely the killing of them is a great wrong.

32 And go not nigh to fornication: surely it is an obscenity. And evil is the way.

33 And kill not the soul which Allāh has forbidden except for a just cause. And whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority — but let him not exceed the limit in slaying. Surely he will be helped.

34 And draw not nigh to the orphan’s property, except in a goodly way, till he attains his maturity. And fulfil the promise; surely, the promise will be enquired into.

35 And give full measure when you measure out, and weigh with a true balance. This is fair and better in the end.

36 And follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, of all of these it will be asked.

37 And go not about in the land exultingly, for thou canst not rend the earth, nor reach the mountains in height.

38 All this, the evil thereof, is hateful in the sight of thy Lord.

39 This is of the wisdom which thy Lord has revealed to thee.

And associate not any other god with Allāh lest thou be thrown into hell, blamed, cast away.

40 Has then your Lord preferred to give you sons, and (for Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? Surely you utter a grievous saying.

41 And certainly We have repeated (warnings) in this Qur’ān that they may be mindful. And it adds not save to their aversion.

42 Say: If there were with Him gods, as they say, then certainly they would have been able to seek a way to the Lord of the Throne.

43 Glory to Him! and He is highly exalted above what they say!

44 The seven heavens and the earth and those in them declare His glory. And there is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification. Surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving.
