يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ اتَّقوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذي خَلَقَكُم مِن نَفسٍ واحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنها زَوجَها وَبَثَّ مِنهُما رِجالًا كَثيرًا وَنِساءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذي تَساءَلونَ بِهِ وَالأَرحامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَلَيكُم رَقيبًا

¡Hombres! Temed a vuestro Señor que os creó a partir de un solo ser, creando de él a su pareja y generando a partir de ambos muchos hombres y mujeres. Y temed a Allah, por Quien os pedís unos a otros, y respetad los lazos de sangre. Realmente Allah os está observando.
