وَإِذْ
أَخَذْنَا
مِيثَـٰقَ
بَنِىٓ
إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
لَا
تَعْبُدُونَ
إِلَّا
ٱللَّهَ
وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ
إِحْسَانًۭا
وَذِى
ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ
وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ
وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ
وَقُولُوا۟
لِلنَّاسِ
حُسْنًۭا
وَأَقِيمُوا۟
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
وَءَاتُوا۟
ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ
ثُمَّ
تَوَلَّيْتُمْ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًۭا
مِّنكُمْ
وَأَنتُم
مُّعْرِضُونَ
٨٣
Remember when We took a pledge from the Children of Israel: ‘Worship none but God; be good to your parents and kinsfolk, to orphans and the poor; speak good words to all people; keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed alms.’ Then all but a few of you turned away and paid no heed.
