Here are some Verses from the wise Scripture.
3
It is a Guidance and a mercy for those who do good,
4
observe the prayer, pay the zakat, and firmly believe in the Hereafter.
5
They follow their Lord’s Guidance — they are the ones who will prosper.
6
Some people who are deprived of knowledge collect frivolous tales to drive [others] away from God’s path that they subject to ridicule. A shameful punishment is [in store] for them!
7
When Our verses are recited to such [a man], he turns away in disdain as if he were deaf in both ears. So announce to him a painful punishment!
8
But for those who believe and do right there will be the Gardens of Bliss
9
in which they shall abide for ever. God’s promise is true — He is the Sublime, the Wise.
10
He has created the Heavens without visible supports. He buttressed the earth with mountains to prevent it from shaking under you; then He spread on it a great many of creatures. We send water down from the sky and We produce on earth noble pairs of all kinds.
11
Such is God’s creation! Show Me what has been created by others besides Him! Yes, deep is the error of the wrong-doers!
12
We have bestowed Wisdom upon Luqman: — Be grateful to God! A grateful man is grateful for his own good, but an ungrateful man... verily, God is rich and praiseworthy!
13
Once Luqman admonished his son, saying: “O my dearest son! Don’t associate with God! Verily, association is a great sin!”
14
We enjoined on man [respect for] his parents. His mother carries him in weakness after weakness and weans him after two years. So, be grateful to Me and to your parents, for you will return to Me!
15
But do not yield to them if they insist that you associate with Me something you do not know anything about. Keep them company in this life in good faith, but follow the way of those who have turned to Me. In the end, when you all return to Me, I will inform you of your deeds.
16
[Luqman said]: “O my dearest son! God will retrieve anything even if it weighs as little as a grain of mustard, and be it [hidden] under a rock in Heavens or on earth. Verily, God is gracious, well-informed!
17
“O my dearest son! Observe the prayer, urge to the reputable, resist evil, and patiently endure what befalls you — verily, this shall impart firmness to [your] affairs.
18
Don’t puff up your cheeks before the people and don’t walk boisterously upon the earth. Verily, God doesn’t love conceited braggarts!
19
Be moderate in your pace and lower your voice. Verily, the most repulsive sound is the braying of an ass!”
20
Do you not see that God has given you everything in Heavens and earth and that He has showered you with His mercy, seen and unseen? Yet, there are people who argue about God without Knowledge, Guidance, or an enlightening Scripture!
21
When told: “Follow what God has sent down to you,” they say: “No! We’ll follow in our fathers’ footsteps!” — Even if Satan calls them to the punishment by the Fire?
22
Whoever totally submits himself to God and does good deeds is holding fast onto the surest support — indeed, in God is the outcome of all affairs!
23
If someone denies faith, do not take his rejection to heart! Indeed, they shall all return to Us, and We will tell them the truth about their deeds. Verily, God knows well what is in the hearts!
24
We will let them enjoy [life] for a while, then We will drive them to a severe punishment.
25
Ask them, Who has created the Heavens and earth. They will surely say: “It’s God!” Say: “Praise be to God!” But most of them do not understand.
26
To God belongs everything in Heavens and earth. Verily, God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy.
27
If all the trees on earth were used to make writing reeds, and if the sea were ink, and seven seas were added to it, even then it will not suffice [to write] all of God’s Words. Verily, God is mighty and wise!
28
You will be resurrected as one soul, as you have been created. Verily, God is hearing and all-seeing!
29
Do you not see how God merges the night with the day and merges the day with the night; and how He has subjected the sun and the moon to run their course in a fixed time? Verily, God is well aware of all what you do!
30
This is because God is the Truth, and what they call upon besides Him are lies. Verily, He is the Exalted, the Great.
