  1. وإما تعرضن عنهم ابتغاء رحمة من ربك ترجوها فقل لهم قولا ميسورا

    28

    And if you have to hold off from [assisting] them [for now], seeking your Lord’s mercy which you expect [in the future], speak to them gentle words.

    wa-ʾimmā tuʿriḍanna ʿanhumu btighāʾa raḥmatin min rabbika tarjūhā fa-qul lahum qawlan maysūran

  2. ولا تجعل يدك مغلولة إلى عنقك ولا تبسطها كل البسط فتقعد ملوما محسورا

    29

    Do not keep your hand chained to your neck, nor open it altogether, or you will sit blameworthy and regretful.

    wa-lā tajʿal yadaka maghlūlatan ʾilā ʿunuqika wa-lā tabsuṭhā kulla l-basṭi fa-taqʿuda malūman maḥsūran

  3. إن ربك يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر إنه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيرا

    30

    Indeed your Lord expands the provision for whomever He wishes, and tightens it. Indeed, He is well aware of His servants and a keen observer.

    ʾinna rabbaka yabsuṭu r-rizqa li-man yashāʾu wa-yaqdiru ʾinnahū kāna bi-ʿibādihī khabīran baṣīran

  4. ولا تقتلوا أولادكم خشية إملاق نحن نرزقهم وإياكم إن قتلهم كان خطئا كبيرا

    31

    Do not kill your children for the fear of penury: We will provide for them and for you. Killing them is indeed a great iniquity.

    wa-lā taqtulū ʾawlādakum khashyata ʾimlāqin naḥnu narzuquhum wa-ʾiyyākum ʾinna qatlahum kāna khiṭʾan kabīran

  5. ولا تقربوا الزنى إنه كان فاحشة وساء سبيلا

    32

    Do not approach fornication. It is indeed an indecency and an evil way.

    wa-lā taqrabū z-zinā ʾinnahū kāna fāḥishatan wa-sāʾa sabīlan

  6. ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ومن قتل مظلوما فقد جعلنا لوليه سلطانا فلا يسرف في القتل إنه كان منصورا

    33

    Do not kill a soul [whose life] Allah has made inviolable, except with due cause, and whoever is killed wrongfully, We have certainly given his heir an authority. But let him not commit any excess in killing [the murderer], for he has been assisted [by law].

    wa-lā taqtulū n-nafsa llatī ḥarrama llāhu ʾillā bi-l-ḥaqqi wa-man qutila maẓlūman fa-qad jaʿalnā li-waliyyihī sulṭānan fa-lā yusrif fī l-qatli ʾinnahū kāna manṣūran

  7. ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم إلا بالتي هي أحسن حتى يبلغ أشده وأوفوا بالعهد إن العهد كان مسئولا

    34

    Do not approach the orphan’s property except in the best manner, until he comes of age. Fulfill the covenants; indeed all covenants are accountable.

    wa-lā taqrabū māla l-yatīmi ʾillā bi-llatī hiya ʾaḥsanu ḥattā yablugha ʾashuddahū wa-ʾawfū bi-l-ʿahdi ʾinna l-ʿahda kāna masʾūlan

  8. وأوفوا الكيل إذا كلتم وزنوا بالقسطاس المستقيم ذلك خير وأحسن تأويلا

    35

    When you measure, observe fully the measure, [and] weigh with an even balance. That is better and more favourable with respect to the outcome [in the Hereafter].

    wa-ʾawfū l-kayla ʾidhā kiltum wa-zinū bi-l-qisṭāsi l-mustaqīmi dhālika khayrun wa-ʾaḥsanu taʾwīlan

  9. ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علم إن السمع والبصر والفؤاد كل أولئك كان عنه مسئولا

    36

    Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed hearing, eyesight, and the heart—all of these are accountable.

    wa-lā taqfu mā laysa laka bihī ʿilmun ʾinna s-samʿa wa-l-baṣara wa-l-fuʾāda kullu ʾulāʾika kāna ʿanhu masʾūlan

  10. ولا تمش في الأرض مرحا إنك لن تخرق الأرض ولن تبلغ الجبال طولا

    37

    Do not walk exultantly on the earth. Indeed, you will neither pierce the earth, nor reach the mountains in height.

    wa-lā tamshi fī l-ʾarḍi maraḥan ʾinnaka lan takhriqa l-ʾarḍa wa-lan tablugha l-jibāla ṭūlan

  11. كل ذلك كان سيئه عند ربك مكروها

    38

    The evil of all these is detestable to your Lord.

    kullu dhālika kāna sayyiʾuhū ʿinda rabbika makrūhan
