"And come not near to the orphan's property, except to
improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full
measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but that which
he can bear. And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give
evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the
Covenant of Allâh, This He commands you, that you may remember.[] (152) "And verily,
this (i.e. Allâh's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is my Straight Path,
so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away
from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqûn
(the pious - see V.2:2)." (153) Then, We gave Mûsa (Moses) the Book [the
Taurât (Torah)], to complete (Our Favour) upon those who would do right, and
explaining all things in detail and a guidance and a mercy that they might
believe in the meeting with their Lord. (154) And this is a blessed
Book (the Qur'ân) which We have sent down, so follow it and fear Allâh (i.e. do
not disobey His Orders), that you may receive mercy (i.e. be saved from the
torment of Hell). (155) Lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: "The Book was
sent down only to two sects before us (the Jews and the Christians), and for
our part, we were in fact unaware of what they studied." (156) Or lest you (pagan
Arabs) should say: "If only the Book had been sent down to us, we would
surely have been better guided than they (Jews and Christians)." So now
has come unto you a clear proof (the Qur'ân) from your Lord, and a guidance and
a mercy. Who then does more wrong than one who rejects the Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and turns away therefrom?
We shall requite those who turn away from Our Ayât with an evil torment,
because of their turning away (from them). [Tafsir At-Tabari]. (157)
