Quran: Sura 6, Ayat no. 151

My 'favourite' Ayat/verse of the Quran this week




قل تعالوا أتل ما حرم ربكم عليكم ۖ ألا تشركوا به شيئا ۖ وبالوالدين إحسانا ۖ ولا تقتلوا أولادكم من إملاق ۖ نحن نرزقكم وإياهم ۖ ولا تقربوا الفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن ۖ ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ۚ ذلكم وصاكم به لعلكم تعقلون



Transliteration

Qul taAAalaw atlu ma harrama rabbukum AAalaykum alla tushrikoo bihi shayan wabialwalidayni ihsanan wala taqtuloo awladakum min imlaqin nahnu narzuqukum waiyyahum wala taqraboo alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana wala taqtuloo alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum taAAqiloona



Translation of the meaning:

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islamic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand.

Sura/chapter 6. Al-An'aam ayat/verse no.151
