In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.

These are Verses of the Wise Book,-
A Guide and a Mercy to the Doers of Good,-
الَّذِیْنَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ یُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ هُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ یُوْقِنُوْنَؕ(۴)
Who are constant in devotion, pay the zakat, and are certain of the Hereafter.
Those who establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity, and have (in their hearts) the assurance of the Hereafter.
اُولٰٓىٕكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ(۵)
They are on guidance from their Lord, and will prosper.
These are on (true) guidance from their Lord: and these are the ones who will prosper.
وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّشْتَرِیْ لَهْوَ الْحَدِیْثِ لِیُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ ﳓ وَّ یَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ(۶)
But among men are also those who spread frivolous stories to mislead (others) from the way of God, without any knowledge, and take it lightly. For such as these the nemesis will be shameful.
But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty.
وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِ اٰیٰتُنَا وَلّٰى مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَسْمَعْهَا كَاَنَّ فِیْۤ اُذُنَیْهِ وَقْرًاۚ-فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ(۷)
When Our verses are recited before them they turn away haughtily as though they did not hear them, as if a deafness had come into their ears. So give them tidings of a shameful punishment.
When Our Signs are rehearsed to such a one, he turns away in arrogance, as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in both his ears: announce to him a grievous Penalty.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ النَّعِیْمِۙ(۸)
Surely for those who believe and do the right are pleasure gardens.
For those who believe and work righteous deeds, there will be Gardens of Bliss,-
خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقًّاؕ-وَ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(۹)
They will abide in them for ever. The promise of God is true; and He is all-mighty and all-wise.
To dwell therein. The promise of Allah is true: and He is Exalted in Power, Wise.
خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَیْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَ اَلْقٰى فِی الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِیَ اَنْ تَمِیْدَ بِكُمْ وَ بَثَّ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍؕ-وَ اَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِیْمٍ(۱۰)
He created the skies without a support, as you can see, and placed stabilisers in the earth that you may dwell at ease as it revolves; and dispersed on it all varieties of creatures, and He sent down water from the skies and grew all kinds of splendid things upon it.
He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs.
هٰذَا خَلْقُ اللّٰهِ فَاَرُوْنِیْ مَا ذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖؕ-بَلِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ۠(۱۱)
Such is God´s creation. Show me now what those (they worship) beside Him have created. Surely the evil-doers are in clear error.
Such is the Creation of Allah: now show Me what is there that others besides Him have created: nay, but the Transgressors are in manifest error.
وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا لُقْمٰنَ الْحِكْمَةَ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلّٰهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّشْكُرْ فَاِنَّمَا یَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ(۱۲)
We bestowed wisdom on Luqman that he may be grateful to God. Whosoever is grateful is so for his own good, and whoever is ungrateful (should remember) that God is above all concern, worthy of praise.
we bestowed (in the past) Wisdom on Luqman: "Show (thy) gratitude to Allah." Any who is (so) grateful does so to the profit of his own soul: but if any is ungrateful, verily Allah is free of all wants, Worthy of all praise.
وَ اِذْ قَالَ لُقْمٰنُ لِابْنِهٖ وَ هُوَ یَعِظُهٗ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِﳳ-اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِیْمٌ(۱۳)
(Remember) when Luqman counselled his son: "O son, do not associate any one with God. To associate others with God is a grievous wrong."
Behold, Luqman said to his son by way of instruction: "O my son! join not in worship (others) with Allah: for false worship is indeed the highest wrong-doing."
وَ وَصَّیْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَیْهِۚ-حَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهٗ وَهْنًا عَلٰى وَهْنٍ وَّ فِصٰلُهٗ فِیْ عَامَیْنِ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِیْ وَ لِوَالِدَیْكَؕ-اِلَیَّ الْمَصِیْرُ(۱۴)
We have committed man about his parents. His mother carries him in her womb in weakness and debility, weaning him in two years. So he should be grateful to Me and his parents. To Me is the journeying back.
And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal.
وَ اِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ عَلٰۤى اَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِیْ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌۙ-فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَ صَاحِبْهُمَا فِی الدُّنْیَا مَعْرُوْفًا٘-وَّ اتَّبِـعْ سَبِیْلَ مَنْ اَنَابَ اِلَیَّۚ-ثُمَّ اِلَیَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۵)
If they try to force you to associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Live with them honourably in the world, but follow the way of him who turns to Me. Your returning is to Me in the end, when I will tell you what you did.
"But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to me (in love): in the end the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did."
یٰبُنَیَّ اِنَّهَاۤ اِنْ تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ فِیْ صَخْرَةٍ اَوْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ اَوْ فِی الْاَرْضِ یَاْتِ بِهَا اللّٰهُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَطِیْفٌ خَبِیْرٌ(۱۶)
"O my son, whatsoever it may be, even though equal to a mustard seed in weight, or within a rock or in the sky or in the earth, God will bring it forth. Verily God is perceptive, all-aware.
"O my son!" (said Luqman), "If there be (but) the weight of a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth: for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).
یٰبُنَیَّ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ انْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ اصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَاۤ اَصَابَكَؕ-اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِۚ(۱۷)
O my son, fulfil your moral obligations, bid what is known to be right and forbid what is wrong, and bear with patience what befalls you. These are indeed acts of courage and resolve.
"O my son! establish regular prayer, enjoin what is just, and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betide thee; for this is firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs.
وَ لَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ لَا تَمْشِ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُوْرٍۚ(۱۸)
Do not hold men in contempt, and do not walk with hauteur on the earth. Verily God does not like the proud and boastful.
"And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for Allah loveth not any arrogant boaster.
وَ اقْصِدْ فِیْ مَشْیِكَ وَ اغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَؕ-اِنَّ اَنْكَرَ الْاَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِیْرِ۠(۱۹)
Be moderate in your bearing, and keep your voice low. Surely the most repulsive voice is the donkey´s."
"And be moderate in thy pace, and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass."
اَلَمْ تَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ اَسْبَغَ عَلَیْكُمْ نِعَمَهٗ ظَاهِرَةً وَّ بَاطِنَةًؕ-وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یُّجَادِلُ فِی اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّ لَا هُدًى وَّ لَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِیْرٍ(۲۰)
Have you not seen that God has subjugated what is in the heavens and the earth to you, and bestowed His favours, external and esoteric, in abundance on you? And yet there are men who contend about God without any knowledge or guidance or the Book enlightening.
Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!
وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا بَلْ نَتَّبِـعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَاؕ-اَوَ لَوْ كَانَ الشَّیْطٰنُ یَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابِ السَّعِیْرِ(۲۱)
When you ask them to follow what God has revealed, they say: "No. We shall follow what we found our ancestors following," even though the devil were calling them to the torment of Hell!
When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that Allah has sent down, they say: "Nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). "What! even if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire?
وَ مَنْ یُّسْلِمْ وَجْهَهٗۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىؕ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ(۲۲)
He who turns his face to God in submission and does good, holds fast to a handle that is strong; for the resultance of things rests with God.
Whoever submits his whole self to Allah, and is a doer of good, has grasped indeed the most trustworthy hand-hold: and with Allah rests the End and Decision of (all) affairs.
وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَلَا یَحْزُنْكَ كُفْرُهٗؕ-اِلَیْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ(۲۳)
So do not let the unbelief of disbelievers grieve you. They will be brought back to Us, when We shall tell them what they used to do. Whatever is in their hearts is known to God.
But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.
نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِیْلًا ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ(۲۴)
We let them enjoy themselves only for a while, then We shall drag them to a severe punishment.
We grant them their pleasure for a little while: in the end shall We drive them to a chastisement unrelenting.
وَ لَىٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُؕ-قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِؕ-بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۲۵)
If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" They will surely answer: "God." Say: "All praise be to God." But most of them do not understand.
If thou ask them, who it is that created the heavens and the earth. They will certainly say, "Allah". Say: "Praise be to Allah!" But most of them understand not.
لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِیُّ الْحَمِیْدُ(۲۶)
To God belongs what is in the heavens and the earth. Verily He is all-sufficient, worthy of praise.
To Allah belong all things in heaven and earth: verily Allah is He (that is) free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
وَ لَوْ اَنَّ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ اَقْلَامٌ وَّ الْبَحْرُ یَمُدُّهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ سَبْعَةُ اَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمٰتُ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۲۷)
If all the trees of the earth were pens and the oceans ink, with many more oceans for replenishing them, the colloquy of God would never come to end. He is indeed all-mighty and all-wise.
And if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean (were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply), yet would not the words of Allah be exhausted (in the writing): for Allah is Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.
مَا خَلْقُكُمْ وَ لَا بَعْثُكُمْ اِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌۢ بَصِیْرٌ(۲۸)
Your creation and resurrection is but like that of a single cell. Verily He is all-hearing and all-seeing.
And your creation or your resurrection is in no wise but as an individual soul: for Allah is He Who hears and sees (all things).
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُوْلِجُ الَّیْلَ فِی النَّهَارِ وَ یُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِی الَّیْلِ وَ سَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ٘-كُلٌّ یَّجْرِیْۤ اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ(۲۹)
Do you not see that God makes the night succeed the day, the day succeed the night? And He has harnessed the sun and the moon so that each runs its appointed course. Surely God is aware of all you do.
Seest thou not that Allah merges Night into Day and he merges Day into Night; that He has subjected the sun, and the moon (to his Law), each running its course for a term appointed; and that Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do?
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَ اَنَّ مَا یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِ الْبَاطِلُۙ-وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِیُّ الْكَبِیْرُ۠(۳۰)
That is so for God is the Reality, and what they invoke other than Him is illusion. Indeed God is all-high and supreme.
That is because Allah is the (only) Reality, and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood; and because Allah,- He is the Most High, Most Great.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ لِیُرِیَكُمْ مِّنْ اٰیٰتِهٖؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ(۳۱)
Do you not see that the ships sail in the ocean by the grace of God, that He may show you some of His glories. Verily there are signs in this for those who are constant and give thanks.
Seest thou not that the ships sail through the ocean by the Grace of Allah?- that He may show you of His Signs? Verily in this are Signs for all who constantly persevere and give thanks.
وَ اِذَا غَشِیَهُمْ مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَ ﳛ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌؕ-وَ مَا یَجْحَدُ بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُوْرٍ(۳۲)
When the waves overshadow them like a canopy, they pray to God with all-exclusive faith in Him. But after He has safely brought them to the shore, there are some who vacillate between doubt and belief, but no one rejects Our signs except those who are perverse and disbelieve.
When a wave covers them like the canopy (of clouds), they call to Allah, offering Him sincere devotion. But when He has delivered them safely to land, there are among them those that halt between (right and wrong). But none reject Our Signs except only a perfidious ungrateful (wretch)!
یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ وَ اخْشَوْا یَوْمًا لَّا یَجْزِیْ وَالِدٌ عَنْ وَّلَدِهٖ٘-وَ لَا مَوْلُوْدٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَنْ وَّالِدِهٖ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَاٙ-وَ لَا یَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُوْرُ(۳۳)
O people, fear your Lord and dread the day when no father will avail a son, nor son his father. Truly the promise of God is true. Do not be deluded by the life of this world, and do not let the deceiver draw you away from God.
O mankind! do your duty to your Lord, and fear (the coming of) a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the promise of Allah is true: let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ-وَ یُنَزِّلُ الْغَیْثَۚ-وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی الْاَرْحَامِؕ-وَ مَا تَدْرِیْ نَفْسٌ مَّا ذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًاؕ-وَ مَا تَدْرِیْ نَفْسٌۢ بِاَیِّ اَرْضٍ تَمُوْتُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌ خَبِیْرٌ۠(۳۴)
Only God has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends rain from the heavens, and knows what is in the mothers´ wombs. No one knows what he will do on the morrow; no one knows in what land he will die. Surely God knows and is cognisant.
Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). It is He Who sends down rain, and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things).
