INTERFAITH WISDOM

Here are the equivalent of the Ten Commandments taken from various spots in the Quran of the Islamic Faith.

1.  There is no God except one God.
2.  There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him
3.  Make not God's name an excuse to your oaths.
4.  Be kind to your parents if one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not a word of contempt nor repel them but address them in terms of honor.
5.  As for the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands, but those who repent after a crime and reform shall be forgiven by God for God is forgiving and kind.
6.  They invoke a curse of God if they lie.  Hide not the testimony.
7.  If anyone has killed one person it is as if he had killed the whole mankind.
8.  Do not come near adultery.  It is an indecent deed and a way for other evils.
9.  Do good to your parents, relatives and neighbors.  "One of the greatest sins is to have illicit sex with your neighbor's wife."
10.  When the call for the Friday prayer is made, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off your business.
