They emphasize the moral, ethical, and social obligations that are as follows:
  • Only worship Allah
  • Treat your parents with kindness
  • Do not kill
  • Do not indulge in adultery
  • Do not steal
  • Render full measure and weight in trade

  • Quick Info: In the context of the Holy Quran, the "Ten Commandments" (similar to those given to Prophet Musa/Moses in the Bible) are often referred to as Awamir-i-Ashara. While the Quran does not use the exact phrase "Ten Commandments" as a formal title, these divine instructions are primarily identified in Surat Al-An'am (6:151–153) and Surat Al-Isra' (17:23–39). This term literally translates to "The Ten Commands" in Arabic/Persian influenced Islamic terminology and is the recognized name for these sets of verses in many Islamic studies contexts.
