NOT TO DISTORT THE BOOK
WITH ONE'S TONGUE
Among them is a group who distort the Book with their tongues
so that you think it is from the Book when it is not from the Book.
They say, 'It is from Allah,' but it is not from Allah. They tell a lie
against Allah and they know it. (Qur'an, 3:78)

TO OBSERVE ALLAH'S LIMITS ON
WHAT IS PERMITTED AND FORBIDDEN
These are Allah's limits. As for those who obey Allah and His
Messenger, We will admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the
Great Victory. As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger
and overstep His limits, We will admit them into a Fire, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. They will have a humiliating punishment.
(Qur'an, 4:13-14)
That is it. If someone honours Allah's sacred things, that is better
for him in his Lord's sight. All livestock are permitted to you except
what has already been recited to you. Have done with the
defilement of idols and have done with telling lies. (Qur'an, 22:30)
Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those
who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate, those who
command the right, those who forbid the wrong, those who
preserve the limits of Allah: give good news to the believers.
(Qur'an, 9:112)
O Prophet! When any of you divorce women, divorce them during
their period of purity and count up the (amount of months
carefully). And have fear of Allah, your Lord. Do not evict them
from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an
outright indecency. Those are Allah's limits, and anyone who
oversteps Allah's limits has wronged himself. You never know, it
may well be that after that Allah will cause a new situation to
develop. (Qur'an, 65:1)
