O you who believe, fulfil your contracts. Help one another in goodness and piety, not in sin and aggression. Lawful and forbidden foods are made clear, and then: this day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you and chosen Islam as your way. Before prayer, wash your face, your hands to the elbows, wipe your head and wash your feet; if there is no water, use clean earth. Stand firm for Allah as witnesses in justice, and do not let hatred of a people make you unjust. The two sons of Adam each made an offering; one was accepted, and the other killed his brother out of envy, then a crow showed him how to bury him. So whoever kills a soul unjustly, it is as if he killed all mankind, and whoever saves one, it is as if he saved all mankind. The Torah and the Gospel were sent with guidance and light, and the Quran confirms them; judge by what Allah has sent down. Wine, gambling, idols and divining arrows are filth from Satan, so avoid them. The disciples asked Isa for a table spread from heaven, and Allah sent it, with a warning to those who would disbelieve after it. On the Day of Judgement Isa will be asked whether he told people to worship him and his mother, and he will say: I said only what You commanded: worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.
