Ten Commandments in the Quran

Islam (Submission to the will of God) is the same and only religion

ever given to the human race. It is the religion of Noah, Abraham,

Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus,

Muhammad and all the other messengers mentioned or not

mentioned in the scripture. The Ten Commandments as we see them

here are not any more than the same message given to the prophet

Muhammad . See the following table.

The Ten Commandments
(Exodus 12: 1-17 & Deuteronomy 5: 6-21)

Confirmation in the Quran
(Chapter: Verse)

1. Thou shall not take any
God except one God.

1. "There is no other god
beside GOD,"(47:19)

2. Thou shall make no
image of God.

2. There is nothing that
equals (like) Him. (42:11)

"My Lord, make this a peaceful
land, and protect me and my
children from worshiping idols.
(14:35)

3. Thou shall not use
God's name in vain.

3. Do not subject GOD's name
to your casual swearing, that
you may appear righteous, pious,
or to attain credibility
among the people. (2:224)

4. Thou shall honor thy
mother and father.

4. .....and your parents shall be
honored. As long as one or
both of them live, you shall
never say to them, "Uff"
(the slightest gesture of annoyance),
nor shall you shout at them; you
shall treat them amicably. (17:23)

5. Thou shall not steal.

5. The thief, male or female, you
shall mark their hands as
a punishment for their crime, and
to serve as an example from GOD.
GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
(5:38 - 39)

6. Thou shall not lie or give
false testimony.

6. ...... incur GOD's condemnation
upon him, if he was lying. (24:7)

Do not withhold any testimony
by concealing what you had
witnessed. Anyone who withholds
a testimony is sinful at heart. (2:283)

7. Thou shall not kill.

7. ....anyone who murders any person
who had not committed murder or
horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he
murdered all the people. (5:32)

8. Thou shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not commit adultery;
it is a gross sin, and an evil behavior.
(17:32)

9. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors
wife or possessions.

9, You shall regard the parents, the
relatives, the orphans, the poor, the
related neighbor, the unrelated neighbor,
the close associate, the traveling alien,
and your servants. (4:36)

10. Thou shall keep the Sabbath holy.

The Sabbath was relinquished with the
revelation of the Quran.

The Sabbath Abrogated

[16:124] The Sabbath was decreed only
for those who ended up disputing it (Jews &
Christians). Your Lord is the One who will
judge them on the Day of Resurrection
regarding their disputes.

God, however, ordered us to make every
effort and drop all businesses to attend the
congregational (Friday) prayer. The Submitters
may tend to their business during the rest of
the day.

10. O you who believe, when the
Congregational Prayer (Salat
Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday,
you shall hasten to the commemoration
of GOD, and drop all business. . (62:9)
