Ruku 356, Juz 21 (ٱلْرُكوع 356, جزء 21)

٣١ - لُقْمَان

31 - Luqman

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا لُقْمٰنَ الْحِكْمَۃَ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلہِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّشْكُرْ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللہَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيْدٌ۝۱۲
Walaqad atayna luqmana alhikmata ani oshkur lillahi waman yashkur fainnama yashkuru linafsihi waman kafara fainna Allaha ghaniyyun hameedun

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

12

وَاِذْ قَالَ لُقْمٰنُ لِابْنِہٖ وَہُوَيَعِظُہٗ يٰبُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللہِ ۝۰ۭؔ اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيْمٌ۝۱۳
Waith qala luqmanu liibnihi wahuwa yaAAithuhu ya bunayya la tushrik biAllahi inna alshshirka lathulmun AAatheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

(Remember) when Luqman counselled his son: "O son, do not associate any one with God. To associate others with God is a grievous wrong."

13

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْہِ۝۰ۚ حَمَلَتْہُ اُمُّہٗ وَہْنًا عَلٰي وَہْنٍ وَّفِصٰلُہٗ فِيْ عَامَيْنِ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ۝۰ۭ اِلَيَّ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۱۴
Wawassayna alinsana biwalidayhi hamalathu ommuhu wahnan AAala wahnin wafisaluhu fee AAamayni ani oshkur lee waliwalidayka ilayya almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

14

وَاِنْ جَاہَدٰكَ عَلٰۗي اَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِيْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِہٖ عِلْمٌ۝۰ۙ فَلَا تُطِعْہُمَا وَصَاحِبْہُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوْفًا۝۰ۡوَّاتَّبِــعْ سَبِيْلَ مَنْ اَنَابَ اِلَيَّ۝۰ۚ ثُمَّ اِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۵
Wain jahadaka AAala an tushrika bee ma laysa laka bihi AAilmun fala tutiAAhuma wasahibhuma fee alddunya maAAroofan waittabiAA sabeela man anaba ilayya thumma ilayya marjiAAukum faonabbiokum bima kuntum taAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

15

يٰبُنَيَّ اِنَّہَاۗ اِنْ تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّۃٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ فِيْ صَخْـرَۃٍ اَوْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ اَوْ فِي الْاَرْضِ يَاْتِ بِہَا اؙ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَطِيْفٌ خَبِيْرٌ۝۱۶
Ya bunayya innaha in taku mithqala habbatin min khardalin fatakun fee sakhratin aw fee alssamawati aw fee alardi yati biha Allahu inna Allaha lateefun khabeerun

English

Ahmed Ali

"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.

16

يٰبُنَيَّ اَقِـمِ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَاْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَانْہَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلٰي مَاۗ اَصَابَكَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ۝۱۷ۚ
Ya bunayya aqimi alssalata wamur bialmaAAroofi wainha AAani almunkari waisbir AAala ma asabaka inna thalika min AAazmi alomoori

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

17

وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْـتَالٍ فَخُــوْرٍ۝۱۸ۚ
Wala tusaAAAAir khaddaka lilnnasi wala tamshi fee alardi marahan inna Allaha la yuhibbu kulla mukhtalin fakhoorin

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not hold men in contempt, and do not walk with hauteur on the earth. Verily God does not like the proud and boastful.

18

وَاقْصِدْ فِيْ مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اَنْكَرَ الْاَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيْرِ۝۱۹ۧ
Waiqsid fee mashyika waoghdud min sawtika inna ankara alaswati lasawtu alhameeri

English

Ahmed Ali

Be moderate in your bearing, and keep your voice low. Surely the most repulsive voice is the donkey's."
