The Islam.. Manners and Tawhid

Your Lord has ordained that you worship none but Him, and show kindness to parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, do not say to them a word of annoyance nor scold them, rather speak to them noble words,

and lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy, and say, “My Lord, have mercy upon them as they raised me when I was small.”

Your Lord knows best what is in your hearts. If you are righteous, He is All-Forgiving to those who constantly turn to Him.

Give relatives their due, and the needy and the stranded travelers, and do not spend wastefully.

Indeed, the wasteful are Satans’ brothers, and Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

But if you must turn away from them [those in need] while hoping to receive bounty from your Lord, then say to them words of comfort.

o not be too tight-fisted, nor too open-handed, for you will end up blameworthy and destitute.

Your Lord extends provision to whom He wills or restricts it. He is All-Aware and All-Seeing of His slaves.

Do not kill your children for fear of poverty, for We provide for them and for you. Indeed, killing them is a great sin.

Do not go near adultery, for it is indeed a shameful act and an evil way.

Do not kill any soul that Allah has forbidden, except in the course of justice. If anyone is killed wrongfully, We have given his heir authority [of compensation], but he should not exceed the bounds in killing, for he is already supported [by law].

Do not approach the property of an orphan except with good [intent], until he reaches maturity; and fulfill the covenant, for you will certainly be questioned about the covenant.

Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with accurate scales; that is fair and best in the end.

Do not follow that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart, all of them will be called to account.

Do not walk on the earth arrogantly; you cannot cleave the earth, nor can you reach the mountains in height.

he evil of all these actions is hateful to your Lord.

This is part of the wisdom that your Lord has revealed to you [O Prophet]. Do not set up any other god with Allah, or you will be thrown into Hell, blameworthy and rejected.

Has your Lord favored you with sons and has taken for Himself angels as daughters? You are indeed making a monstrous claim.

We have explained things in various ways in this Qur’an, so that they may take heed, but it only increases them in aversion.

Say, “If there were other gods besides Him – as they claim – they would have surely sought a way to the Lord of the Throne.”

Glorified and Highly Exalted is He far above what they claim!

The seven heavens and the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification. Indeed, He is Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.

When you recite the Qur’an, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.

We have placed covers on their hearts so that they do not understand it, and deafness in their ears. When you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’an, they turn their backs in aversion.

We are well aware of what they wish to hear when they listen to you, and what they say when they converse in private, when the wrongdoers say, “You are not following but a bewitched man.”

See how they call you names! Thus they have gone astray and cannot find a way.

They say, “What! When we are turned into bones and dust, will we really be resurrected as a new creation?”

Say, “Be you stones or iron,

or any other substance you think is harder to bring back to life.” They will then say, “Who will bring us back [to life]?” Say, “The One Who created you the first time.” They will shake their heads at you and say, “When will that be?” Say, “Perhaps it is soon.”

On the Day when He calls you, you will respond by praising Him, thinking that you had not stayed [on earth] except for a little while.
