بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Luqman 31:1

الم

Alif, Lam, Mim.

Luqman 31:2

تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ الحَكيمِ

These are the verses of the wise Book,

Luqman 31:3

هُدًى وَرَحمَةً لِلمُحسِنينَ

guidance and mercy for those who do good,

Luqman 31:4

الَّذينَ يُقيمونَ الصَّلوٰةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكوٰةَ وَهُم بِالـٔاخِرَةِ هُم يوقِنونَ

those who establish prayer and give zakat, and who are certain of the Hereafter.

Luqman 31:5

أُولٰئِكَ عَلىٰ هُدًى مِن رَبِّهِم ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

Those are upon guidance from their Lord, and those are the successful.

Luqman 31:6

وَمِنَ النّاسِ مَن يَشتَرى لَهوَ الحَديثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَها هُزُوًا ۚ أُولٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ مُهينٌ

And among people is one who buys distracting talk to lead astray from the way of The God without knowledge and to take it in mockery. Those will have a humiliating punishment.

Luqman 31:7

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِ ءايٰتُنا وَلّىٰ مُستَكبِرًا كَأَن لَم يَسمَعها كَأَنَّ فى أُذُنَيهِ وَقرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرهُ بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

And when Our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly, as though he had not heard them, as though there were heaviness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

Luqman 31:8

إِنَّ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُم جَنّٰتُ النَّعيمِ

Indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds will have gardens of bliss,

Luqman 31:9

خٰلِدينَ فيها ۖ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

abiding in them. The promise of The God is true, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

Luqman 31:10

خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَونَها ۖ وَأَلقىٰ فِى الأَرضِ رَوٰسِىَ أَن تَميدَ بِكُم وَبَثَّ فيها مِن كُلِّ دابَّةٍ ۚ وَأَنزَلنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ كَريمٍ

He created the heavens without pillars that you see, and cast firm mountains into the earth lest it sway with you, and scattered in it every kind of creature. And We sent down water from the sky and caused every noble pair to grow in it.

Luqman 31:11

هٰذا خَلقُ اللَّهِ فَأَرونى ماذا خَلَقَ الَّذينَ مِن دونِهِ ۚ بَلِ الظّٰلِمونَ فى ضَلٰلٍ مُبينٍ

This is the creation of The God. So show Me what those besides Him have created. Rather, the wrongdoers are in clear error.

Luqman 31:12

وَلَقَد ءاتَينا لُقمٰنَ الحِكمَةَ أَنِ اشكُر لِلَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَشكُر فَإِنَّما يَشكُرُ لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَميدٌ

And We certainly gave Luqman wisdom: Be grateful to The God. And whoever is grateful is only grateful for himself; and whoever is ungrateful, indeed, The God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

Luqman 31:13

وَإِذ قالَ لُقمٰنُ لِابنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يٰبُنَىَّ لا تُشرِك بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّركَ لَظُلمٌ عَظيمٌ

And when Luqman said to his son, while advising him: My dear son, do not associate partners with The God. Indeed, associating partners is a great wrong.

Luqman 31:14

وَوَصَّينَا الإِنسٰنَ بِوٰلِدَيهِ حَمَلَتهُ أُمُّهُ وَهنًا عَلىٰ وَهنٍ وَفِصٰلُهُ فى عامَينِ أَنِ اشكُر لى وَلِوٰلِدَيكَ إِلَىَّ المَصيرُ

And We enjoined upon the human being concerning his parents. His mother carried him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years: Be grateful to Me and to your parents. To Me is the destination.

Luqman 31:15

وَإِن جٰهَداكَ عَلىٰ أَن تُشرِكَ بى ما لَيسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلمٌ فَلا تُطِعهُما ۖ وَصاحِبهُما فِى الدُّنيا مَعروفًا ۖ وَاتَّبِع سَبيلَ مَن أَنابَ إِلَىَّ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىَّ مَرجِعُكُم فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

And if they strive to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. And accompany them in this world with kindness, and follow the way of whoever turns to Me. Then to Me is your return, and I will inform you of what you used to do.

Luqman 31:16

يٰبُنَىَّ إِنَّها إِن تَكُ مِثقالَ حَبَّةٍ مِن خَردَلٍ فَتَكُن فى صَخرَةٍ أَو فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ أَو فِى الأَرضِ يَأتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطيفٌ خَبيرٌ

My dear son, even if it is the weight of a mustard seed and is in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, The God will bring it forth. Indeed, The God is Subtle, Aware.

Luqman 31:17

يٰبُنَىَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلوٰةَ وَأمُر بِالمَعروفِ وَانهَ عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَاصبِر عَلىٰ ما أَصابَكَ ۖ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ

My dear son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and be patient over what befalls you. Indeed, that is among matters requiring resolve.

Luqman 31:18

وَلا تُصَعِّر خَدَّكَ لِلنّاسِ وَلا تَمشِ فِى الأَرضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُختالٍ فَخورٍ

And do not turn your cheek away from people, and do not walk exultantly upon the earth. Indeed, The God does not love anyone conceited and boastful.

Luqman 31:19

وَاقصِد فى مَشيِكَ وَاغضُض مِن صَوتِكَ ۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ الأَصوٰتِ لَصَوتُ الحَميرِ

And be moderate in your walk and lower your voice. Indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys.

Luqman 31:20

أَلَم تَرَوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَما فِى الأَرضِ وَأَسبَغَ عَلَيكُم نِعَمَهُ ظٰهِرَةً وَباطِنَةً ۗ وَمِنَ النّاسِ مَن يُجٰدِلُ فِى اللَّهِ بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَلا هُدًى وَلا كِتٰبٍ مُنيرٍ

Have you not seen that The God has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and lavished upon you His blessings, outward and inward? And among people is one who disputes about The God without knowledge, guidance, or an illuminating book.

Luqman 31:21

وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعوا ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قالوا بَل نَتَّبِعُ ما وَجَدنا عَلَيهِ ءاباءَنا ۚ أَوَلَو كانَ الشَّيطٰنُ يَدعوهُم إِلىٰ عَذابِ السَّعيرِ

And when it is said to them: Follow what The God has sent down, they say: Rather, we follow what we found our fathers upon. Even if Satan were calling them to the punishment of the blaze?

Luqman 31:22

وَمَن يُسلِم وَجهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحسِنٌ فَقَدِ استَمسَكَ بِالعُروَةِ الوُثقىٰ ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ عٰقِبَةُ الأُمورِ

And whoever submits his face to The God while doing good has grasped the firmest handhold. And to The God is the outcome of all matters.

Luqman 31:23

وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلا يَحزُنكَ كُفرُهُ ۚ إِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِما عَمِلوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ

And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you. To Us is their return, and We will inform them of what they have done. Indeed, The God knows what is within the breasts.

Luqman 31:24

نُمَتِّعُهُم قَليلًا ثُمَّ نَضطَرُّهُم إِلىٰ عَذابٍ غَليظٍ

We grant them enjoyment for a little while, then compel them to a severe punishment.

Luqman 31:25

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say: The God. Say: Praise belongs to The God. Rather, most of them do not know.

Luqman 31:26

لِلَّهِ ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الغَنِىُّ الحَميدُ

To The God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Indeed, The God is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.

Luqman 31:27

وَلَو أَنَّما فِى الأَرضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقلٰمٌ وَالبَحرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعدِهِ سَبعَةُ أَبحُرٍ ما نَفِدَت كَلِمٰتُ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

And if every tree on earth were pens, and the sea were replenished after it by seven seas, the words of The God would not run out. Indeed, The God is Mighty, Wise.

Luqman 31:28

ما خَلقُكُم وَلا بَعثُكُم إِلّا كَنَفسٍ وٰحِدَةٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَميعٌ بَصيرٌ

Your creation and your resurrection are only like that of a single soul. Indeed, The God is Hearing, Seeing.

Luqman 31:29

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يولِجُ الَّيلَ فِى النَّهارِ وَيولِجُ النَّهارَ فِى الَّيلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجرى إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرٌ

Have you not seen that The God causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running until an appointed term, and that The God is aware of what you do?

Luqman 31:30

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الحَقُّ وَأَنَّ ما يَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ البٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ العَلِىُّ الكَبيرُ

That is because The God is the Truth, and what they call upon besides Him is falsehood, and The God is the Most High, the Great.

Luqman 31:31

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ الفُلكَ تَجرى فِى البَحرِ بِنِعمَتِ اللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِن ءايٰتِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايٰتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبّارٍ شَكورٍ

Have you not seen that ships sail through the sea by the favor of The God, so that He may show you some of His signs? Indeed, in that are signs for everyone steadfastly patient and grateful.

Luqman 31:32

وَإِذا غَشِيَهُم مَوجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ فَلَمّا نَجّىٰهُم إِلَى البَرِّ فَمِنهُم مُقتَصِدٌ ۚ وَما يَجحَدُ بِـٔايٰتِنا إِلّا كُلُّ خَتّارٍ كَفورٍ

And when a wave like canopies covers them, they call upon The God, making religion sincere for Him. Then when He delivers them to land, some of them are moderate. And none rejects Our signs except everyone treacherous and ungrateful.

Luqman 31:33

يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ اتَّقوا رَبَّكُم وَاخشَوا يَومًا لا يَجزى والِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِ وَلا مَولودٌ هُوَ جازٍ عَن والِدِهِ شَيـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ فَلا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الحَيوٰةُ الدُّنيا وَلا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الغَرورُ

O people, be mindful of your Lord and fear a day when no parent will avail his child, nor will any child avail his parent at all. Indeed, the promise of The God is true. So let not the worldly life deceive you, and let not the deceiver deceive you about The God.

Luqman 31:34

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلمُ السّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الغَيثَ وَيَعلَمُ ما فِى الأَرحامِ ۖ وَما تَدرى نَفسٌ ماذا تَكسِبُ غَدًا ۖ وَما تَدرى نَفسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرضٍ تَموتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ خَبيرٌ

Indeed, with The God is knowledge of the Hour, and He sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, The God is Knowing, Aware.
