   Waminannaasi man yasytarii lahwal hadiitsi liyudhilla 'an sabiilillahi bighairi 'ilmin wayattakhidzahaa huzuwan uula-ika lahum 'adzaabun muhiinun

   There are some human beings who purchase an enchanting diversion in order to lead people away from the way of Allah without having any knowledge, who hold the call to the Way of Allah to ridicule. A humiliating chastisement awaits them.

   وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتُنَا وَلّٰى مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَاَنَّ فِيْٓ اُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًاۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ

   Wa-idzaa tutla 'alaihi aayaatunaa walla mustakbiran kaan lam yasma'haa kaanna fii udzunaihi waqran fabasy-syirhu bi'adzaabin aliimin

   When Our verses are recited to such a person, he arrogantly turns away, as though he had not heard them, or as though there was a deafness in his ears. So announce to him the tidings of a grievous chastisement.

10. 31:10

    خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَاَلْقٰى فِى الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَاۤبَّةٍۗ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

    khalaqas-samaawaati bighairi 'amadin taraunahaa wa-alqa fiil ardhi rawaasiya an tamiida bikum wabats-tsa fiihaa min kulli daabbatin wa-anzalnaa minassamaa-i maa-an fa-anbatnaa fiihaa min kulli zaujin kariimin

    He created the heavens without any pillars visible to you and He placed mountains in the earth as pegs lest it should turn topsy turvy with you, and He dispersed all kinds of animals over the earth, and sent down water from the sky causing all kinds of excellent plants to grow on it.

11. 31:11

    هٰذَا خَلْقُ اللّٰهِ فَاَرُوْنِيْ مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۗ بَلِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ࣖ

    Hadzaa khalqullahi fa-aruunii maadzaa khalaqal-ladziina min duunihi balizh-zhaalimuuna fii dhalalin mubiinin

    Such is Allah's creation. Show me, then, what any others, apart from Allah, have created. Nay, the fact is that the wrong-doers are in manifest error.

12. 31:12

    وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا لُقْمٰنَ الْحِكْمَةَ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يَّشْكُرْ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيْدٌ

    Walaqad aatainaa luqmaanal hikmata aniisykur lillahi waman yasykur fa-innamaa yasykuru linafsihi waman kafara fa-innallaha ghanii-yun hamiidun

    We bestowed wisdom upon Luqman, (enjoining): “Give thanks to Allah.” Whoso gives thanks to Allah, does so to his own good. And whoso disbelieves (let him know that) Allah is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.

13. 31:13

    وَاِذْ قَالَ لُقْمٰنُ لِابْنِهٖ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهٗ يٰبُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيْمٌ

    Wa-idz qaala luqmaanu laabnihi wahuwa ya'izhuhu yaa bunai-ya laa tusyrik billahi innasy-syirka lazhulmun 'azhiimun

    And call to mind when Luqman said to his son while exhorting him: “My son, do not associate others with Allah in His Divinity. Surely, associating others with Allah in His Divinity is a mighty wrong.”

14. 31:14

    وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِۚ حَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهٗ وَهْنًا عَلٰى وَهْنٍ وَّفِصَالُهٗ فِيْ عَامَيْنِ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيْكَۗ اِلَيَّ الْمَصِيْرُ

    Wawash-shainaa-insaana biwaalidaihi hamalathu ummuhu wahnan 'ala wahnin wafishaaluhu fii 'aamaini aniisykur lii waliwaalidaika ilai-yal mashiir(u)

    We enjoined upon man to be dutiful to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning lasted two years. (We, therefore, enjoined upon him): “Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is your ultimate return.

15. 31:15

    وَاِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِيْ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِى الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوْفًا ۖوَّاتَّبِعْ سَبِيْلَ مَنْ اَنَابَ اِلَيَّۚ ثُمَّ اِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Wa-in jaahadaaka 'al an tusyrika bii maa laisa laka bihi 'ilmun falaa tuthi'humaa washaahibhumaa fiiddunyaa ma'ruufan waattabi' sabiila man anaaba ilai-ya tsumma ilai-ya marji'ukum fa-unabbi-ukum bimaa kuntum ta'maluun(a)

    But if they press you to associate others with Me in My Divinity, (to associate) those regarding whom you have no knowledge (that they are My associates), do not obey them. And yet treat them well in this world, and follow the way of him who turns to Me in devotion. Eventually it is to Me that all of you shall return, and I shall then tell you all that you did.”

16. 31:16

    يٰبُنَيَّ اِنَّهَآ اِنْ تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ فِيْ صَخْرَةٍ اَوْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ اَوْ فِى الْاَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللّٰهُ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَطِيْفٌ خَبِيْرٌ

    Yaa bunai-ya innahaa in taku mitsqaala habbatin min khardalin fatakun fii shakhratin au fiis-samaawaati au fiil ardhi ya'ti bihaallahu innallaha lathiifun khabiirun

    (Luqman said): “Son, Allah will bring forth everything even if it be as small as the grain of a mustard seed even though it be hidden inside a rock or (anywhere) in the heavens or earth. Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.

17. 31:17

    يٰبُنَيَّ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَآ اَصَابَكَۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ

    Yaa bunai-ya aqimish-shalaata wa'mur bil ma'ruufi waanha 'anil munkari waashbir 'ala maa ashaabaka inna dzalika min 'azmil amuur(i)

    Son, establish Prayer, enjoin all that is good and forbid all that is evil, and endure with patience whatever affliction befalls you. Surely these have been emphatically enjoined.

18. 31:18

    وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُوْرٍۚ

    Walaa tusha'iir khaddaka li-nnaasi walaa tamsyi fiil ardhi marahan innallaha laa yuhibbu kulla mukhtaalin fakhuurin

    Do not (contemptuously) turn your face away from people, nor tread haughtily upon earth. Allah does not love the arrogant and the vainglorious.

19. 31:19

    وَاقْصِدْ فِيْ مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَۗ اِنَّ اَنْكَرَ الْاَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيْرِ ࣖ

    Waaqshid fii masyyika waaghdhudh min shautika inna ankaral ashwaati lashautul hamiir(i)

    Be moderate in your stride and lower your voice. Verily the most disgusting of all voices is the braying of the donkey.”

20. 31:20

    اَلَمْ تَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهٗ ظَاهِرَةً وَّبَاطِنَةً ۗوَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُّجَادِلُ فِى اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا هُدًى وَّلَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِيْرٍ

    Alam tarau annallaha sakh-khara lakum maa fiis-samaawaati wamaa fiil ardhi wa-asbagha 'alaikum ni'amahu zhaahiratan wabaathinatan waminannaasi man yujaadilu fiillahi bighairi 'ilmin walaa hudan walaa kitaabin muniirin

    Have you not seen that Allah has subjected to your service all that is in the heavens and on the earth and has abundantly bestowed upon you all His bounties, both visible and invisible? Yet some persons dispute regarding Allah without having any knowledge or guidance or any illuminating Book.

21. 31:21

    وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوْا مَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ اٰبَاۤءَنَاۗ اَوَلَوْ كَانَ الشَّيْطٰنُ يَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابِ السَّعِيْرِ

    Wa-idzaa qiila lahumuuttabi'uu maa anzalallahu qaaluuu bal nattabi'u maa wajadnaa 'alaihi aabaa-anaa awalau kaanasy-syaithaanu yad'uuhum ila 'adzaabissa'iir(i)

    When they are told: “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they say: “We will rather follow that which we have found our forefathers following.” (Will they follow that) even though Satan might invite them to the chastisement of the Blazing Fire?

22. 31:22

    ۞ وَمَنْ يُّسْلِمْ وَجْهَهٗٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىۗ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ

    Waman yuslim wajhahu ilallahi wahuwa muhsinun faqadiistamsaka bil 'urwatil wutsqa wa-ilallahi 'aaqibatul amuur(i)

    Whoever surrenders himself to Allah and lives righteously grasps the most firm handle. The ultimate decision of all matters rests with Allah.

23. 31:23

    وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ كُفْرُهٗۗ اِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوْاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

    Waman kafara falaa yahzunka kufruhu ilainaa marji'uhum fanunabbi-uhum bimaa 'amiluu innallaha 'aliimun bidzaatish-shuduur(i)

    So let the unbelief of the unbeliever not grieve you. To Us is their return and then We shall inform them of all that they did. Surely Allah knows well even the secrets that are hidden in the breasts (of people).

24. 31:24

    نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيْلًا ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ اِلٰى عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ

    Numatti'uhum qaliilaa tsumma nadhtharruhum ila 'adzaabin ghaliizhin

    We allow them to enjoy themselves a while in the world and then We shall drive them in utter helplessness to a harsh chastisement.

25. 31:25

    وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ ۗقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Wala-in saaltahum man khalaqas-samaawaati wal ardha layaquulunnallahu qulil hamdu lillahi bal aktsaruhum laa ya'lamuun(a)

    If you were to ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth?” they will certainly reply: “Allah.” Say: “All praise and thanks be to Allah.” Yet most of them do not know.

26. 31:26

    لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ

    Lillahi maa fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi innallaha huwal ghanii-yul hamiid(u)

    All that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Verily He is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.

27. 31:27

    وَلَوْ اَنَّ مَا فِى الْاَرْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ اَقْلَامٌ وَّالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ سَبْعَةُ اَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمٰتُ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Walau annamaa fiil ardhi min syajaratin aqlaamun wal bahru yamudduhu min ba'dihi sab'atu abhurin maa nafidat kalimaatullahi innallaha 'aziizun hakiimun

    If all the trees on earth become pens, and the sea replenished by seven more seas were to supply them with ink, the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Verily Allah is Most Mighty, Most Wise.

28. 31:28

    مَا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ اِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ

    Maa khalqukum walaa ba' tsukum ilaa kanafsin waahidatin innallaha samii'un bashiirun

    To create all of you or to resurrect all of you is to Him like (creating or resurrecting) a single person. Verily Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

29. 31:29

    اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَۖ كُلٌّ يَّجْرِيْٓ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ

    Alam tara annallaha yuulijullaila fiinnahaari wayuulijunnahaara fiillaili wasakh-kharasy-syamsa wal qamara kullun yajrii ila ajalin musamman wa-annallaha bimaa ta'maluuna khabiirun

    Do you not see that Allah makes the night phase into the day and makes the day phase into the night and has subjected the sun and the moon to His will so that each of them is pursuing its course till an appointed time? (Do you not know that) Allah is well aware of all that you do?

30. 31:30

    ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِ الْبَاطِلُۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيْرُ ࣖ

    Dzalika biannallaha huwal haqqu wa-anna maa yad'uuna min duunihil baathilu wa-annallaha huwal 'alii-yul kabiir(u)

    All this is because Allah, He alone, is the Truth and all that which they call upon beside Him is false. Surely Allah, He alone, is All-High, Incomparably Great.

31. 31:31

    اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِيْ فِى الْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ لِيُرِيَكُمْ مِّنْ اٰيٰتِهٖۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ

    Alam tara annal fulka tajrii fiil bahri bini'matillahi liyuriyakum min aayaatihi inna fii dzalika li-aayaatin likulli shabbaarin syakuurin

    Do you not see that ships sail in the sea by Allah's Grace that He may show you some of His Signs? Surely there are Signs in this for everyone who is steadfast, thankful.

32. 31:32

    وَاِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ەۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىهُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌۗ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُوْرٍ

    Wa-idzaa ghasyiyahum maujun kazh-zhulali da'awuullaha mukhlishiina lahuddiina falammaa najjaahum ilal barri faminhum muqtashidun wamaa yajhadu biaayaatinaa ilaa kullu khattaarin kafuurin

    When waves engulf them (in the sea) like canopies, they call upon Allah, consecrating their faith solely to Him. But when He delivers them safely to the land, some of them become lukewarm. None denies Our Signs except the perfidious, the ungrateful.

33. 31:33

    يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْ وَاخْشَوْا يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِيْ وَالِدٌ عَنْ وَّلَدِهٖۖ وَلَا مَوْلُوْدٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَنْ وَّالِدِهٖ شَيْـًٔاۗ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۗ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُوْرُ

    Yaa ai-yuhaannaasuuttaquu rabbakum waakhsyau yauman laa yajzii waalidun 'an waladihi walaa mauluudun huwa jaazin 'an waalidihi syai-an inna wa'dallahi haqqun falaa taghurrannakumul hayaatud-dunyaa walaa yaghurrannakum billahil gharuur(u)

    O people, fear (the wrath) of your Lord, and dread the Day when no father will stand for his child, nor any child stand for his father. Surely Allah's promise is true. So let the life of this world not beguile you, nor let the Deluder delude you about Allah.

34. 31:34

    اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَۚ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى الْاَرْحَامِۗ وَمَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًاۗ وَمَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌۢ بِاَيِّ اَرْضٍ تَمُوْتُۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ ࣖ

    Innallaha 'indahu 'ilmussaa'ati wayunazzilul ghaitsa waya'lamu maa fiil arhaami wamaa tadrii nafsun maadzaa taksibu ghadan wamaa tadrii nafsun biai-yi ardhin tamuutu innallaha 'aliimun khabiirun

    Surely Allah alone has the knowledge of the Hour. It is He Who sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs, although no person knows what he will earn tomorrow, nor does he know in which land he will die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
