Those who guard their chastity— except from their wives or those
they own as slaves, in which case they are not blameworthy;
(Qur'an, 23:5-6)
Remain in your houses and do not display your beauty as it was
previously displayed in the Time of Ignorance. Perform prayer
and give alms and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah desires to
remove all impurity from you, People of the House, and to purify
you completely. (Qur'an, 33:33)
And Maryam, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity—
We breathed Our Spirit into her and she confirmed the Words of
her Lord and His Book and was one of the obedient. (Qur'an, 66:12)
Those who guard their chastity (Qur'an, 70:29)
THEY DO NOT DEVOUR
ONE ANOTHER'S PROPERTY BY FALSE MEANS
My people! Give full measure and full weight with justice; do not
diminish people's goods; and do not go about the earth, corrupting
it. (Qur'an, 11:85)
Do not diminish people's goods and do not go about the earth,
corrupting it. (Qur'an, 26:183)
He (Dawud) said, 'He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to
add to his ewes. Truly many partners are unjust to one another—
except those who believe and do right actions, and how few they
are!' Dawud realised that We had put him to the test. He begged
forgiveness from his Lord and fell down prone, prostrating, and
repented. (Qur'an, 38:24)
Give just weight—do not skimp in the balance. (Qur'an, 55:9)
Give orphans their property, and do not substitute bad things for
good. Do not assimilate their property into your own. Doing that
is a serious crime. (Qur'an, 4:2)
Do not devour one another's property by false means nor offer it
to the judges as a bribe, trying through crime to knowingly usurp
a portion of other people's property. (Qur'an, 2:188)
