Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 2 Al-Baqarah, Ayat 83-83
وَاِذۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَ بَنِىۡٓ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ لَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَبِالۡوَالِدَيۡنِ اِحۡسَانًا وَّذِى الۡقُرۡبٰى وَالۡيَتٰمٰى وَالۡمَسٰکِيۡنِ وَقُوۡلُوۡا لِلنَّاسِ حُسۡنًا وَّاَقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّکٰوةَ ؕ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّنۡکُمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ
﴿2:83﴾
(2:83) And recall when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: “You
shall serve none but Allah and do good to parents, kinsmen, orphans and the
needy; you shall speak kindly to people, and establish Prayer and give Zakah
(Purifying Alms). And yet, except for a few of you, you turned back on this
covenant, and you are still backsliders.
