These are the verses of the wise Scripture,
Verse 3

ﭛ
[with] guidance and mercy for those who do good,
Verse 4
who keep up the prayer, pay the prescribed alms, and are certain of the Hereafter:
Verse 5
these are rightly guided by their Lord, and it is they who will prosper.
Verse 6
But there is the sort of person who pays for distracting tales, intending, without any knowledge, to lead others from God’s way, and to hold it up to ridicule. There will be humiliating torment for him!
Verse 7
When Our verses are recited to him, he turns away disdainfully as if he had not heard them, as if there were heaviness in his ears. Tell him that there will be a painful torment!
Verse 8
But for those who believe and do righteous deeds, there will be Gardens of bliss
Verse 9
where they will stay: that is God’s true promise, and He is the Almighty, the All Wise.
Verse 10
He created the heavens without any visible support, and He placed firm mountains on the earth––in case it should shake under you––and He spread all kinds of animals around it. We sent down water from the sky, with which We made every kind of good plant grow on earth:
Verse 11
all this is God’s creation. Now, show Me what your other gods have created. No, the disbelievers are clearly astray.
Verse 12
We endowed Luqman with wisdom: ‘Be thankful to God: whoever gives thanks benefits his own soul, and as for those who are thankless––God is self-sufficient, worthy of all praise.’
Verse 13
Luqman counselled his son, ‘My son, do not attribute any partners to God: attributing partners to Him is a terrible wrong.’
Verse 14
We have commanded people to be good to their parents: their mothers carried them, with strain upon strain, and it takes two years to wean them. Give thanks to Me and to your parents- all will return to Me.
Verse 15
If they strive to make you associate with Me anything about which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. Yet keep their company in this life according to what is right, and follow the path of those who turn to Me. You will all return to Me in the end, and I will tell you everything that you have done.
Verse 16
[And Luqman continued], ‘My son, if even the weight of a mustard seed were hidden in a rock or anywhere in the heavens or earth, God would bring it [to light], for He is all subtle and all aware.
Verse 17
Keep up the prayer, my son; command what is right; forbid what is wrong; bear anything that happens to you steadfastly: these are things to be aspired to.
Verse 18
Do not turn your nose up at people, nor walk about the place arrogantly, for God does not love arrogant or boastful people.
Verse 19
Go at a moderate pace and lower your voice, for the ugliest of all voices is the braying of asses.’
Verse 20
[People], do you not see how God has made what is in the heavens and on the earth useful to you, and has lavished His bless-ings on you both outwardly and inwardly? Yet some people argue about God, without knowledge or guidance or an illuminating scripture.
Verse 21
When they are told, ‘Follow what God has sent down,’ they say: ‘We shall follow what we saw our forefathers following.’ What! Even if Satan is calling them to the suffering of the Blazing Flame?
Verse 22
Whoever directs himself wholly to God and does good work has grasped the surest handhold, for the outcome of everything is with God.
Verse 23
As for those who refuse to do this, do not let their refusal sadden you [Prophet]- they will return to Us and We shall tell them what they have done: God knows all that hearts contain-
Verse 24
We let them enjoy themselves for a little while, but We shall drive them to a harsh torment.
Verse 25
If you ask them who created the heavens and earth, they are sure to say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Praise belongs to God,’ but most of them do not understand.
Verse 26
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. God is self-sufficient and worthy of all praise.
Verse 27
If all the trees on earth were pens and all the seas, with seven more seas besides, [were ink,] still God’s words would not run out: God is almighty and all wise.
Verse 28
Creating and resurrecting all of you is only like creating or resurrecting a single soul: God is all hearing and all seeing.
Verse 29
[Prophet], do you not see that God causes the night to merge into day and the day to merge into night; that He has subjected the sun and the moon, each to run its course for a stated term; that He is aware of everything you [people] do?
Verse 30
This is because God is the Truth, and what they invoke beside Him is false. He is the Most High, Most Great.
Verse 31
[Prophet], do you not see that ships sail through the sea, by the grace of God, to show you [people] some of His wonders? Truly there are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful person.
Verse 32
When the waves loom over those on board like giant shadows they call out to God, devoting their religion entirely to Him. But, when He has delivered them safely to land, some of them waver- only a treacherous, thankless person refuses to acknowledge Our signs.
Verse 33
People, be mindful of your Lord and fear a day when no parent will take the place of their child, nor a child take the place of their parent, in any way. God’s promise is true, so do not let the present life delude you, nor let the Deceiver delude you about God.
Verse 34
Knowledge of the Hour [of Resurrection] belongs to God; it is He who sends down the relieving rain and He who knows what is hidden in the womb. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die; it is God who is all knowing and all aware.
