Translation of Verse 151-154

151. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Come! Let me recite to you what your Lord has forbidden to you: do not associate others with Him ˹in worship˺. ˹Do not fail to˺ honour your parents. Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for you and for them. Do not come near indecencies, openly or secretly. Do not take a ˹human˺ life-made sacred by Allah-except with ˹legal˺ right. ³⁰² This is what He has commanded you, so perhaps you will understand.

152. And do not come near the wealth of the orphan-unless intending to enhance it -until they attain maturity. Give full measure and weigh with justice. We never require of any soul more than what it can afford. Whenever you speak, ³⁰³ maintain justice-even regarding a close relative. And fulfil your covenant with Allah. This is what He has commanded you, so perhaps you will be mindful.

153. Indeed, that is My Path- perfectly straight. So follow it and do not follow other ways, for they will lead you away from His Way. This is what He has commanded you, so perhaps you will be conscious ˹of Allah˺."

154. Additionally, We gave Moses the Scripture, completing the favour upon those who do good, detailing everything, and as a guide and a mercy, so perhaps they would be certain of the meeting with their Lord.
