| Worship none but Allah (SWT) and be excellent to parents | لَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ إِلَّا اللهَ وَبِالوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا | |
| and to kindred and to orphans and to the needy | وَذِيْ القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنِ | |
| and speak excellently to the people | وَقُوْلُوْا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا | |
| and establish the prayer and give the obligatory tax | وَأَقِيْمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ | |
| 2-83 | Then you turned away except a few among you and you were refusing | ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُوْنَ |
| and worship Allah (SWT) and do not associate with Him anything | وَاعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا | |
| and with your parents be excellent and with the relatives and the orphans | وَبِالوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى | |

| and from the cows and the sheep We forbade to them their fat | وَمِنَ البَقَرِ وَالغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَآ | |
| except what their backs carried or the entrails or what is joined with the bone | إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُوْرُهُمَآ أَوِ الحَوَايَآ أَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ | |
| 6-146 | that, We recompensed them for their rebellion and surely, We are certainly truthful | ذَلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُمْ بِبَغْيِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُوْنَ |
| and know that what you obtain as spoils of war of anything | وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُم مِّنْ شَيْءٍ | |
| then that belonging to Allah (SWT) is one fifth of it and for the messenger | فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ | |
| and for the relatives and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer | وَلِذِي القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنِ وَابنِ السَّبِيْلِ | |
| if you believe in Allah (SWT) and in what We revealed to Our slave | إِنْ كُنْتُمْ ءَامَنْتُمْ بِاللهِ وَمَآ أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا | |
