Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:27And remember We took Your Covenant And We raised above you (The towering height) Of Mount (Sinai): (Saying): "Hold firmly To what We have given you And bring (ever) to remembrance What is therein: Perchance ye may fear God."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:63And remember We took A Covenant from the Children Of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but God; Treat with kindness Your parents and kindred, And orphans and those in need; Speak fair to the people; Be steadfast in prayer; And practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, Except a few among you, And ye backslide (even now).

Say: "Vile indeed Are the behests of your Faith If ye have any faith!"

Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:90Never should a Believer Kill a Believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a Believer, It is ordained that he Should free a believing slave, And pay compensation To the deceased's family, Unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged To a people at war with you, And he was a Believer, The freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged To a people with whom Ye have a treaty of mutual Alliance, compensation should Be paid to his family, And a believing slave be freed. For those who find this Beyond their means, (is prescribed) A fast for two months Running: by way of repentance To God: for God hath All knowledge and all wisdom.
