Ayah: 28

وَإِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡهُمُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرۡجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمۡ قَوۡلٗا مَّيۡسُورٗا
28. And if you turn away from them while seeking mercy from your Lord, which you hope for, then speak to them a gentle and kind word.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 29

وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ يَدَكَ مَغۡلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبۡسُطۡهَا كُلَّ ٱلۡبَسۡطِ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَلُومٗا مَّحۡسُورًا
29. And do not make your hand shackled to your neck, nor stretch it all out to its utmost reach17, lest you sit blameworthy, destitute.
17. Not being stingy or over generous.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 30

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا
30. Indeed, your Lord extends the provision for whom He wills, and He straitens (it for whom He wills). Surely, He is of His servants All-Aware, All-Seeing.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 31

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَوۡلَٰدَكُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ إِمۡلَٰقٖۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُهُمۡ وَإِيَّاكُمۡۚ إِنَّ قَتۡلَهُمۡ كَانَ خِطۡـٔٗا كَبِيرٗا
31. Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, killing them is a serious blunder.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 32

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلٗا
32. Do not approach adultery18. Indeed, it is an indecency and an evil way.
18. We must avoid all forms of uncleanness, in thought, word and deed, alone and with other humans and creatures, both in and outside of wedlock. Fornication, adultery and homosexuality are all major sins. We should aviod also anything leading to such immoral behaviour including mixed gathering of unrelated men and women in closed places, alluring gestures and coquettish glances, music and dancing of opposite sex, as well as lewd pictures, and consumption of alcohol. In contrast to such filthy living, this verse enjoined chastity, both in and out of marriage. The man that commits adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death by stoning.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 33

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومٗا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّي ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورٗا
33. Do not kill the soul which Allāh has made sacred, except with 'legal' right19. Whoever is killed unjustly, We have given to his heir authority20, so let him not be extravagant (i.e., exceed) in (retributive) killing; he is certainly aided (by law).
19. In the execution of a legal sentence, or in a just war, or in individual legitimate self-defence.
20. To exact a just retribution or to take blood money or to forgive.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 34

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ مَالَ ٱلۡيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعَهۡدِۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـُٔولٗا
34. Do not approach the wealth of the orphan except in a goodly way until they attain maturity. Honour your covenants (and pledges). Surely the covenant (and pledge) will be questioned about.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 35

وَأَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ إِذَا كِلۡتُمۡ وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلٗا
35. Give full the measure when you measure, and weigh with the straight scale. That is better and fairest in determination.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 36

وَلَا تَقۡفُ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡبَصَرَ وَٱلۡفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنۡهُ مَسۡـُٔولٗا
36. Do not pursue what you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, sight, and heart, all of these one will be questioned about21.
21. Muhammad, the messenger of God, said : "Part of someone's being a good Muslim is his leaving alone that which does not concern him."
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 37

وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخۡرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَن تَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ طُولٗا
37. And do not walk in the land exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth 'apart', and you will never reach the mountains in height.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:

Ayah: 38

كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوهٗا
38. All that-- its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, hateful.
