31:12

وَلَقَدْ And verily ءَاتَيْنَا We gave لُقْمَـٰنَ Luqman ٱلْحِكْمَةَ the wisdom أَنِ that ٱشْكُرْ Be grateful لِلَّهِ ۚ to Allah وَمَن And whoever يَشْكُرْ (is) grateful فَإِنَّمَا then only يَشْكُرُ he is grateful لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ for himself وَمَن And whoever كَفَرَ (is) ungrateful فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَنِىٌّ (is) Free of need حَمِيدٌۭ Praiseworthy ١٢

And We had certainly given Luqmān wisdom [and said], "Be grateful to Allāh." And whoever is grateful is grateful for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever denies [His favor] - then indeed, Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said لُقْمَـٰنُ Luqman لِٱبْنِهِۦ to his son وَهُوَ while he يَعِظُهُۥ (was) instructing him يَـٰبُنَىَّ O my son لَا (Do) not تُشْرِكْ associate partners بِٱللَّهِ ۖ with Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱلشِّرْكَ associating partners لَظُلْمٌ (is) surely an injustice عَظِيمٌۭ great ١٣

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Luqmān said to his son while he was instructing him, "O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allāh. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice."

وَوَصَّيْنَا And We have enjoined ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ (upon) man بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ for his parents حَمَلَتْهُ carried him أُمُّهُۥ his mother وَهْنًا (in) weakness عَلَىٰ upon وَهْنٍۢ weakness وَفِصَـٰلُهُۥ and his weaning فِى (is) in عَامَيْنِ two years أَنِ that ٱشْكُرْ Be grateful لِى to Me وَلِوَٰلِدَيْكَ and to your parents إِلَىَّ towards Me ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the destination ١٤

And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.

وَإِن But if جَـٰهَدَاكَ they strive against you عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that تُشْرِكَ you associate partners بِى with Me مَا what لَيْسَ not لَكَ you have بِهِۦ of it عِلْمٌۭ any knowledge فَلَا then (do) not تُطِعْهُمَا ۖ obey both of them وَصَاحِبْهُمَا But accompany them فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world مَعْرُوفًۭا ۖ (with) kindness وَٱتَّبِعْ and follow سَبِيلَ (the) path مَنْ (of him) who أَنَابَ turns إِلَىَّ ۚ to Me ثُمَّ Then إِلَىَّ towards Me مَرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return فَأُنَبِّئُكُم then I will inform you بِمَا of what كُنتُمْ you used (to) تَعْمَلُونَ do ١٥

But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]. Then to Me will be your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.
