Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.
Indeed God enjoins justice - [that is] affirmation of [His] Oneness, or [actually] being fair, and virtue, performance of the [religious] obligations, or that you should worship God as if you were able to see Him, as [reported] in the hadeeth; and giving to kinsfolk - He has singled it [kinship] out for mention by way of [highlighting] its importance - and He forbids lewdness, fornication, and abomination, with regard to the [stipulations of the] Law, [abomination] such as disbelief and acts of disobedience, and aggression, wrongdoing against people - He also singles this out for mention by way of [showing] its importance; just as He began with [the mention of] 'lewdness', in this way, He admonishes you, through commands and prohibitions, so that you might remember, [that you might] be admonished (tadhakkaroona, 'you [might] remember', the original taa' [of tatadhakkaroona] has been assimilated with the dhaal). In the Mustadrak [of al- Haakim al-Naysaabooree] it is reported from Ibn Mas'ood that [he said]: 'This [verse] is the most comprehensive verse in Al-Qur'an in terms of [what is] good and [what is] evil'.
