In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
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, Muhammad 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 Muhammad . See the following table.
| The Ten Commandments (Exodus 12: 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) |
| 2. Thou shall make no image of God. | 2. There is nothing that equals (like) Him. (42:11) "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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| 10. Thou shall keep the Sabbath holy. | The Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Quran. The Sabbath Abrogated [16:124] The Sabbath was decreed only for those who ended up disputing it (Jews & Christians). Your Lord is the One who will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their disputes. 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. 10. 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) |
