31:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
