Your Rabb has decreed to you that: You shall worship none but Him and you shall be kind to your parents. If one or both of them (your parents) live to their old age in your lifetime, you shall not say to them any word of contempt nor repel them and you shall address them in kind words. You shall lower to them your wings of humility out of mercy for them and pray, "O my Rabb! Bestow on them Your blessings just as they cherished me when I was a little child. Your Rabb knows best what is in your hearts. If you have good intentions, certainly He is most forgiving to those who turn to Him in repentance.
You shall give to your relatives their due and to the needy and to the wayfarers. You shall not be a spend thrift as spendthrifts are the brethren of Shaitan and Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Rabb. You shall speak courteously to needy persons if you are waiting for your Rabb's bounty and you lack the means to assist them. You shall neither tie your hands to your neck (be miserly) nor stretch them forth to their utmost reach (be a spendthrift), lest you sit back blameworthy, destitute. Surely you Rabb gives abundantly to whom He pleases and sparingly to whom He wills, for He is aware of the condition of His servants and observes them closely.
You shall not kill your children for fear of want, for it is We who provide sustenance for them as well as for you; surely killing them is a great blunder. You shall not go near unlawful sex;
surely it is a shameful deed and a n evil way (opens the door to other evils). You shall not kill anyone whose killing Allah has forbidden, except for just cause (under the Islamic Law). If anyone is killed unjustly, We have granted the right of retribution to his heir, but let him not carry his vengeance too far in killing the culprit, as he is supported by the law. You shall not go near the property of an orphan, except with good intentions of improving it, until he attains his maturity. You shall fulfill your pledges; surely you shall be held accountable for your pledges. You shall give full measure, and weigh with even scale; this is the best way and will prove to be the best in the end. You shall not follow anyone blindly in those matters in which you have no knowledge, surely the use of your ears, the eyes and the heart - all of these shall be questioned on the day of judgement. You shall not walk arrogantly on the earth, for you can neither rend the earth asunder nor attain the heights of the mountains. All thes are evil aspects in the sight of your Rabb. This is but a part of the wisdom your Rabb has revealed to you. Quran Al-Isra 17: 23-39
