The Ten Commandments
(Deuteronomy 5)
|
|
|
|
7 "'You shall have no other gods before me.
|
Surah 47
19. Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah, and ask
forgiveness for thy fault, and for the men and women who believe:
for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your
homes.
|
|
8 "'You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth;
9 you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD
your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who
hate me,
10 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me
and keep my commandments.
|
Surah 42
11. (He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for
you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this
means does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto
Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things).
Surah 17
22. Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!)
wilt sit in disgrace and destitution.
|
|
11 "'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for
the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
|
Surah 2
224. And make not Allah.s (name) an excuse in your oaths against
doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between
persons; for Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth all things.
|
|
12 "'Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your
God commanded you.
13 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work;
14 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; in it
you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or
your manservant, or your maidservant, or your ox, or your ass, or
any of your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates, that
your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.
15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of
Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out thence with a
mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your
God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.
|
Surah 4
154. And for their covenant we raised over them (the towering
height) of Mount (Sinai); and (on another occasion) we said: "Enter
the gate with humility"; and (once again) we commanded them:
"Transgress not in the matter of the sabbath." And we took from
them a solemn covenant.
|
|
16 "'Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God
commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it
may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God
gives you.
|
Surah 17
23. Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that
ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old
age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them,
but address them in terms of honour.
|
|
17 "'You shall not kill.
|
Surah 5
32. On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any
one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief
in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any
one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole
people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear
signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit
excesses in the land.
|
|
18 "'Neither shall you commit adultery.
|
Surah 17
32. Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil,
opening the road (to other evils).
Surah 24
3. Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a
woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a
man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a
thing is forbidden.
|
|
19 "'Neither shall you steal.
|
Surah 5
38. As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a
punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah
is Exalted in power.
39. But if the thief repents after his crime, and amends his conduct,
Allah turneth to him in forgiveness; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
|
|
20 "'Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.
|
Surah 2
283. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with
possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a
thing on trust with another, Let the trustee (Faithfully) discharge His
trust, and let him fear his Lord. Conceal not
evidence; for whoever conceals it,- His heart is tainted with sin. And
Allah Knoweth all that ye do.
|
|
21 "'Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; and you shall
not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or
his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your
neighbor's
|
Surah 3
14. Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women
and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses
branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and
well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but
in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).
