1. O mankind! reverence
Your Guardian-Lord,
Who created you
From a single Person,
Created, of like nature,
His mate, and from them twain
Scattered (like seeds)
Countless men and women;--
Reverence God, through Whom
Ye demand your mutual (rights),
And (reverence) the wombs
(That bore you): for God
Ever watches over you.
2. Waatoo alyatama amwalahum wala tatabaddaloo alkhabeetha biALttayyibi wala ta/kuloo amwalahum ila amwalikum innahu kana hooban kabeeraN
2. To orphans restore their property
(When they reach their age),
Nor substitute (your) worthless things
For (their) good ones; and devour not
Their substance (by mixing it up)
With your own. For this is
I ndeed a great sin.
3. Wa-in khiftum alla tuqsitoo fee alyatama faInkihoo ma taba lakum mina aLnnisa-i mathna wathulatha warubaAAa fa-in khiftum alla taAAdiloo fawahidatan aw ma malakat aymanukum thalika adna alla taAAooloo
