Sura Al-Asra from 28 to 38


28. And if you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) turn away from them ( kindred, poor, wayfarer whom We have ordered you to give their rights, but if you have no money at the time they ask you for it ) and you are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then, speak unto them a soft kind word ( i.e. Allâh will give me and I shall give you ) .
29. And let not your hand be tied ( like a miser ) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach ( like a spendthrift ) , so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty.
30. Truly, your Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens ( for whom He wills ) . Verily, He is Ever All- Knower, All- Seer of His slaves.
31. And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We shall provide for them as well as for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.
32. And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Fâhishah ( i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin ) , and an evil way ( that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him ) .
33. And do not kill anyone whose killing Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed wrongfully ( Mazlûman intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake ) , We have given his heir the authority [ to demand Qisâs, - Law of Equality in punishment - or to forgive, or to take Diyah ( blood money ) ] . But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life ( i.e he should not kill except the killer ) . Verily, he is helped ( by the Islâmic law ) . [ 1 ]
34. And come not near to the orphan’s property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength. And fulfil ( every ) covenant. Verily, the covenant, will be questioned about.
35. And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight. That is good ( advantageous ) and better in the end.
36. And follow not ( O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not ) that of which you have no knowledge. [ 2 ] Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those one will be questioned ( by Allâh ) .
37. And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth, nor can you attain a stature like the mountains in height.
38. All the bad aspects of these ( the above mentioned things ) are hateful to your Lord.
