And verily

We gave

Luqman

the wisdom

that

Be grateful

to Allah

And whoever

(is) grateful

then only

he is grateful

for himself

And whoever

(is) ungrateful

then indeed

Allah

(is) Free of need

Praiseworthy

And when

said

Luqman

to his son

while he

(was) instructing him

O my son

(Do) not

associate partners

with Allah

Indeed

associating partners

(is) surely an injustice

great

And We have enjoined

(upon) man

for his parents

carried him

his mother

(in) weakness

upon

weakness

and his weaning

(is) in

two years

that

Be grateful

to Me

and to your parents

towards Me

(is) the destination

But if

they strive against you

on

that

you associate partners

with Me

what

not

you have

of it

any knowledge

then (do) not

obey both of them

But accompany them

in

the world

(with) kindness

and follow

(the) path

(of him) who

turns

to Me

Then

towards Me

(is) your return

then I will inform you

of what

you used (to)

do

O my son

Indeed it

if

it be

(the) weight

(of) a grain

of

a mustard seed

and it be

in

a rock

or

in

the heavens

or

in

the earth

Allah will bring it forth

Allah will bring it forth

Allah will bring it forth

Indeed

Allah

(is) All-Subtle

All-Aware

O my son

Establish

the prayer

and enjoin

[with] the right

and forbid

from

the wrong

and be patient

over

what

befalls you

Indeed

that

(is) of

the matters requiring determination

the matters requiring determination

And (do) not

turn

your cheek

from men

and (do) not

walk

in

the earth

exultantly

Indeed

Allah

(does) not

like

every

self-conceited

boaster

And be moderate

in

your pace

and lower

[of]

your voice

Indeed

(the) harshest

(of all) sounds

(is) surely (the) voice

(of) the donkeys
