Practices

O believers, enter into submission completely

Those who convey Allah’s messages

That is the command. Whoever honours Allah’s sacred ordinances, it is best for them with their Lord. Livestock are made lawful to you, except what is recited to you. So avoid the filth of idols and false speech.

Be upright for Allah, not associating anything with Him. Whoever associates others with Allah, it is as if he fell from the sky and was snatched by birds or swept away by the wind to a distant place.

That is so. Whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is from the piety of hearts.

There is no compulsion in religion. Truth stands clear from falsehood. Whoever rejects false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the firmest handhold, which will never break.

Do they seek a religion other than Allah’s, when all in the heavens and the earth submit to Him, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will return?

To Allah submits all in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows, morning and evening.

Do not compel your servant girls into prostitution if they wish to remain chaste, seeking worldly gain. If they are forced, then Allah is forgiving and merciful toward them.

If you fear that you cannot treat orphans fairly, then marry women of your choice, two, three, or four. But if you fear injustice, then marry only one of those already under your care. This will help you avoid wrongdoing.
