The Ten Commandments in the Quran
Islam (Submission to the will of God) is the same and only religion ever given to the human race. It is the religion of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammed and all the other messengers mentioned or not mentioned in the scripture. The Ten Commandments as we see them here are not any more than the same message given to the prophet Muhammed . See the following table
.
| The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20: 1-17 & Deuteronomy 5: 6-21) | Confirmation in the Quran (Chapter: Verse) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thou shall not take any god except one God. | 1 | "There is no other god beside GOD,"(47:19)He is the one God; there is no other god beside Him. ......(28:70) |
| 2 | Thou shall make no image of God. | 2 | There is nothing that equals (like) Him. (42:11)No visions can encompass Him, but He encompasses all visions. He is the Compassionate, the Cognizant.[6:103] "My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from worshiping idols. (14:35) |
| 3 | Thou shall not use God's name in vain. | 3 | Do not subject GOD's name to your casual swearing, that you may appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people. (2:224) |
| 4 | Thou shall honor thy mother and father. | 4 | . ....and your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never say to them, "Uff" (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably. (17:23) |
| 5 | Thou shall not steal. | 5 | The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from GOD. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. (5:38 - 39) |
| 6 | Thou shall not lie or give false testimony. | 6 | ..... incur GOD's condemnation upon him, if he was lying. (24:7)Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart. (2:283) O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, GOD takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.[4:135] |
| 7 | Thou shall not kill. | 7 | ....anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. (5:32) "You shall not kill any person - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder, he will be helped."(17:33) |
| 8 | Thou shall not commit adultery. | 8 | You shall not commit adultery; it is a gross sin, and an evil behavior. (17:32) |
| 9 | Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife or possessions. | 9 | You shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, the related neighbor, the unrelated neighbor, the close associate, the traveling alien, and your servants. (4:36)And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting.[20:131] |
| 10 | Thou shall keep the Sabbath holy. | 10 | *the Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Quran. We are told in the Quran that the Sabbath was only decreed for the Jews. (16:124) God, however ,ordered us to make every effort and drop all businesses to attend the congregational (Friday)prayer. The Submitters may tend to their business during the rest of the day.O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of GOD, and drop all business. . (62:9) |
