Ten Commandments (Quranic Version)

While the Biblical Ten Commandments are famously listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, Dr. Israr Ahmed emphasized that a very similar set of moral and spiritual injunctions appears in the Qur’an, particularly in Surah Al-An'am (6:151–153).

Dr. Israr Ahmed often referred to these three verses (6:151–153) as the Qur'anic version of the Ten Commandments, describing them as a comprehensive summary of fundamental ethical and religious duties in Islam.

  1. Do not associate anything with Allah.
  2. Be good and dutiful to your parents.
  3. Do not kill your children out of fear of poverty.
  4. Do not approach immoralities, whether open or hidden.
  5. Do not kill a soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right.
  6. Do not approach the orphan's property except in a righteous way.
  7. Give full measure and weight in justice.
  8. Speak justly, even if against a relative.
  9. Fulfill the covenant of Allah.
  10. Follow the straight path and do not follow other paths.
