17:26
And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your
wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift.
17:27
Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.
17:28
And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak
to them a word of easy kindness.
17:29
Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become
blameworthy and destitute.
17:30
Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He pleaseth, and He provideth in a just measure. For
He doth know and regard all His servants.
17:31
Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of
them is a great sin.
17:32
Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).
17:33
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given
his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is
helped (by the Law).
