serve God, and join not Any partners with Him; And do good To parents, kinsfolk, Orphans, those in need, Neighbours who are near, Neighbours who are strangers, The Companion by your side, The way-farer (ye meet), And what your right hands possess: For God loveth not The arrogant, the vainglorious;—
