Chapter 6 of the Quran (109) the Sacred Duty

The Prophet Muhammad said to them: Come to hear what Allah has made a sacred duty for you, 1) you associate nothing with Allah, 2) be dutiful to your parents, 3) do not slay your children, 4) do not draw near any acts of lewdness, whether openly or in secret and 5) do not slay the life which Allah has made sacred.

In Ayah 6:151, Allah commanded His Prophet: Say O Muhammad to them; 

Come to hear, I will recite that which your Lord has made a sacred duty for you in the Scripture that was revealed to me:

That you associate nothing with Allah,

That you do not ascribe anything as partner unto Allah like partner, sons, wife, daughters, Angels, Jinn, idols etc

 

That you be dutiful to parents, you do good to them and be kind to them, and

That you do not slay your children, by burying them alive, because of poverty, destitution, that you may fear — Allah will provide for you and them — and

That you do not draw near any acts of lewdness, whether openly or in secret…Whether openly refers to that which it has been forbidden to do with the external bodily members such as fornication. Or in secret means the persistence in committing that act, and

That you do not slay the life which Allah has made sacred, save in the course of justice as a result of cases such as retaliation.

This, which is mentioned, is what Allah has charged you with that perhaps you will understand, reflect and recognize Allah’s divine Oneness

The verse 6:151 in different translations

QARIB:

say: ‘come, i will recite to you what your lord forbids you; that you shall associate anything with him; that you shall be good to your pwerents, that you shall not kill your children because of poverty, we provide for you and for them, that you shall not commit foul deeds whether openly or in secret, and that you shall not kill the soul that Allah has forbidden except by right. with such Allah charges you, in order that you understand .

SHAKIR:

say: come i will recite what your lord has forbidden to you– (remember) that you do not associate anything with him and show kindness to your pwerents, and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty– we provide for you and for them– and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which were appwerent and those which were concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this he has enjoined you with that you may understand

PICKTHAL:

say: come, i will recite unto you that which your lord hath made a sacred duty for you: that ye ascribe no thing as partner unto him and that ye do good to pwerents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury – we provide for you and for them – and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. this he hath command you, in order that ye may discern.

YUSUFALI:

say: “come, i will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from”: join not anything as equal with him; be good to your pwerents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- we provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth he command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
