Translation of Verse 31-40

31. Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely killing them is a heinous sin. 7) Do Not Commit Adultery

32. Do not go near adultery. It is truly a shameful deed and an evil way. 8) Do Not Kill

33. Do not take a ˹human˺ life-made sacred by Allah-except with ˹legal˺ right. 520 If anyone is killed unjustly, We have given their heirs 521 the authority, but do not let them exceed limits in retaliation, 522 for they are already supported ˹by law˺. 9) Protect Orphans' Wealth, 10) Honour Pledges

34. Do not come near the wealth of the orphan-unless intending to enhance it-until they attain maturity. And honour ˹your˺ pledges, for you will surely be accountable for them. 11) Maintain Fairness

35. Give in full when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is fairest and best in the end. 12) Be Sure

36. Do not follow what you have no ˹sure˺ knowledge of. Indeed, all will be called to account for ˹their˺ hearing, sight, and intellect. 13) Be Humble

37. And do not walk on the earth arrogantly. Surely you can neither crack the earth nor stretch to the height of the mountains.

38. The violation of any of these ˹commandments˺ is detestable to your Lord.

39. This is part of the wisdom which your Lord has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺. And do not set up any other god with Allah ˹O humanity˺, or you will be cast into Hell, blameworthy, rejected.

40. Has your Lord favoured you ˹pagans˺ with sons and taken angels as ˹His˺ daughters? 523 You are truly making an outrageous claim.


Commentary

520. For example, in retaliation for intentional killing through legal channels.

521. Here the word wali, "heir," actually means awliyâ ' or "heirs," which includes the closest relatives, both men and women.

522. By killing anyone other than the killer, or killing others with the killer.

523. Some pagans had the belief that the angels are the daughters of Allah.
