وَقَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۗا اِلَّاۗ اِيَّاہُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَانًا۝۰ۭ اِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُہُمَاۗ اَوْ كِلٰـہُمَا فَلَا تَـقُلْ لَّہُمَاۗ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنْہَرْہُمَا وَقُلْ لَّہُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيْمًا۝۲۳
Waqada rabbuka alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu wabialwalidayni ihsanan imma yablughanna AAindaka alkibara ahaduhuma aw kilahuma fala taqul lahuma offin wala tanharhuma waqul lahuma qawlan kareeman

English

Ahmed Ali

"So your Lord has decreed: Do not worship anyone but Him, and be good to your parents. If one or both of them grow old in your presence, do not say fie to them, nor reprove them, but say gentle words to them

23

وَاخْفِضْ لَہُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَۃِ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْہُمَا كَـمَا رَبَّيٰنِيْ صَغِيْرًا۝۲۴ۭ
Waikhfid lahuma janaha alththulli mina alrrahmati waqul rabbi irhamhuma kama rabbayanee sagheeran

English

Ahmed Ali

"And look after them with kindness and love, and say: "O Lord, have mercy on them as they nourished me when I was small."

24

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِيْ نُفُوْسِكُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا صٰلِحِيْنَ فَاِنَّہٗ كَانَ لِلْاَوَّابِيْنَ غَفُوْرًا۝۲۵
Rabbukum aAAlamu bima fee nufoosikum in takoonoo saliheena fainnahu kana lilawwabeena ghafooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Your Lord knows what is in your heart. If you are righteous, then He is indeed forgiving to those who turn (to Him) in repentance.

25

وَاٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰى حَقَّہٗ وَالْمِسْكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيْرًا۝۲۶
Waati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli wala tubaththir tabtheeran

English

Ahmed Ali

So give to your relatives what is their due, and to those who are needy, and the wayfarers; and do not dissipate (your wealth) extravagantly.

26

اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِيْنَ كَانُوْۗا اِخْوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ لِرَبِّہٖ كَفُوْرًا۝۲۷
Inna almubaththireena kanoo ikhwana alshshayateeni wakana alshshaytanu lirabbihi kafooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who dissipate (their wealth) are the brethren of the devils, and the Devil was ungrateful to his Lord.

27

وَاِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْہُمُ ابْتِغَاۗءَ رَحْمَۃٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوْہَا فَقُلْ لَّہُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُوْرًا۝۲۸
Waimma tuAAridanna AAanhumu ibtighaa rahmatin min rabbika tarjooha faqul lahum qawlan maysooran

English

Ahmed Ali

If you neglect (your parents) while seeking the bounty of your Lord, of which you are hopeful, speak to them softly.

28

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُوْلَۃً اِلٰى عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْہَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَـقْعُدَ مَلُوْمًا مَّحْسُوْرًا۝۲۹
Wala tajAAal yadaka maghloolatan ila AAunuqika wala tabsutha kulla albasti fataqAAuda malooman mahsooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not be niggardly, nor extravagant that you may later feel reprehensive and constrained.

29

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ وَيَــقْدِرُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِہٖ خَبِيْرًۢا بَصِيْرًا۝۳۰ۧ
Inna rabbaka yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru innahu kana biAAibadihi khabeeran baseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Certainly your Lord provides with open hands whosoever He will, but according to capacity, for He knows and watches His creatures.

30

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْۗا اَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْـيَۃَ اِمْلَاقٍ۝۰ۭ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُہُمْ وَاِيَّاكُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ قَتْلَہُمْ كَانَ خِطْاً كَبِيْرًا۝۳۱
Wala taqtuloo awladakum khashyata imlaqin nahnu narzuquhum waiyyakum inna qatlahum kana khitan kabeeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not abandon your children out of fear of poverty. We will provide for them and for you. Killing them is certainly a great wrong.

31

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنٰۗى اِنَّہٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَۃً۝۰ۭ وَسَاۗءَ سَبِيْلًا۝۳۲
Wala taqraboo alzzina innahu kana fahishatan wasaa sabeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

And do not go near fornication, as it is immoral and an evil way.
