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

Some people purchase vain talk to mislead others from God’s path without knowledge, and they treat it with ridicule. For them, a humiliating punishment awaits.

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِ آياتُنا وَلّىٰ مُستَكبِرًا كَأَن لَم يَسمَعها كَأَنَّ في أُذُنَيهِ وَقرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرهُ بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

When Our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly, as if he didn’t hear them, as if his ears are blocked. So, inform him of a severe punishment.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَهُم جَنّاتُ النَّعيمِ

Those who believe and do righteous deeds—for them are Gardens of Delight.

خالِدينَ فيها ۖ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

Where they will dwell eternally. The promise of God is truth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ بِغَيرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَونَها ۖ وَأَلقىٰ فِي الأَرضِ رَواسِيَ أَن تَميدَ بِكُم وَبَثَّ فيها مِن كُلِّ دابَّةٍ ۚ وَأَنزَلنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ كَريمٍ

He created the heavens with no visible pillars, and He placed firm mountains on the earth, lest it shakes with you. He spread throughout it a variety of living creatures. We send down rain from the sky, causing all types of fine plants to grow.

وَلَقَد آتَينا لُقمانَ الحِكمَةَ أَنِ اشكُر لِلَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَشكُر فَإِنَّما يَشكُرُ لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَميدٌ

We granted Luqman wisdom: “Give thanks to God. Whoever is grateful, it is for his own good. And whoever is ungrateful—God is Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.”

وَإِذ قالَ لُقمانُ لِابنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يا بُنَيَّ لا تُشرِك بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّركَ لَظُلمٌ عَظيمٌ

Luqman said to his son while counseling him, “O my son, don’t associate anything with God, for polytheism is a tremendous injustice.”

وَوَصَّينَا الإِنسانَ بِوالِدَيهِ حَمَلَتهُ أُمُّهُ وَهنًا عَلىٰ وَهنٍ وَفِصالُهُ في عامَينِ أَنِ اشكُر لي وَلِوالِدَيكَ إِلَيَّ المَصيرُ

We instructed the human being to honor his parents. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him in pain, and his weaning takes two years. Be grateful to Me and your parents; to Me is the final destination.

وَإِن جاهَداكَ عَلىٰ أَن تُشرِكَ بي ما لَيسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلمٌ فَلا تُطِعهُما ۖ وَصاحِبهُما فِي الدُّنيا مَعروفًا ۖ وَاتَّبِع سَبيلَ مَن أَنابَ إِلَيَّ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرجِعُكُم فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

But if they endeavor to make you associate others with Me, of which you don’t know, don’t obey them. However, treat them kindly in this world, and follow the path of those who turn to Me. Then, to Me is your return, and I will inform you of everything you did.

يا بُنَيَّ إِنَّها إِن تَكُ مِثقالَ حَبَّةٍ مِن خَردَلٍ فَتَكُن في صَخرَةٍ أَو فِي السَّماواتِ أَو فِي الأَرضِ يَأتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطيفٌ خَبيرٌ

“O my son, even the weight of a mustard seed, whether hidden in a rock, the heavens, or on earth, God will bring it forth. God is Subtle, All-Aware.
