234     The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)





                                      FORNICATION

                      And do not go near to fornication. It is an indecent act, an
                      evil way. (Surat al-Isra', 32)


                      Gospel

                      He [Jesus] went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him
                      'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts,
                      sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit,
                      lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All of these evils
                      come from inside and make a man 'unclean.'" (Mark 7:20-23)


                      Torah
                      You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14)


                                    AVOIDING THEFT

                      O Prophet! When believing women come to you pledging
                      allegiance to you on the grounds that they will not associ-
                      ate anything with Allah, steal, fornicate, kill their chil-
                      dren, or give a false ascription of paternity—making up
                      lies about their bodies—or disobey you in respect of any-
                      thing right, then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness
                      for them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat
                      al-Mumtahana, 12)


                      Gospel

                      And Jesus said, "That which come out of the man, that defile the
                      man.
