150. Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that God did forbid so and so." If they
bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain desires of such
as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Herea fter: for they hold
others as equal with their Guardian-Lord.
Section 19 (151-154)

151. Say: "Come, I will rehearse what God hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not
anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of
want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to sha meful deeds.
Whether open or secret; take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of
justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
