The Majestic Quran

2 These are the verses of the Book full of wisdom, 3 a guidance, beneficial for the righteous; 4 who perform the prayer, pay Zakat and believe firmly in the Hereafter. 5 They follow their Lord’s guidance and are the successful. T 6 Some people pay for false stories to be told to divert people from God’s way , 6 treating it as a joke; they will have a humiliating punishment. 7 When Our verses are recited to him, he arrogantly turns away as though he had not heard it, as though his ears were blocked; so cheer him up with news of a painful punishment. 8 The believers who do righteous deeds will have gardens of delight, 9 living in them forever. God’s promise is true; and He is the Almighty, the Wise. W ? 10 God created the skies without any pillar that you can see; and has fixed mountains like pegs in the Earth, so you don’t feel it’s tremors; and spread all animals across it. And We sent rain from the sky, growing plants of every kind all over it. 11 This is God’s creation. Now show me what others beside Him have created. Nothing! The wrongdoers are clearly misguided. L 12 We gave Luqman wisdom: “Be thankful to God.” Whoever is thankful benefits himself; and whoever is unthankful harms himself. God is Self- Sufficient, Praiseworthy. 13 R emember when Luqman said to his son, as he advised him, “My dear son, don’t associate anything with God. Associating is a major sin.” W 14 We commanded every human to care for his parents; his mother carried him in pain during pregnancy , and breastfed him for nearly two years. So be thankful to Me and your parents, your destination is to Me. 15 However, if they force you to associate something with Me of which you have no proof, then don’t obey them. Despite this care for them in this life. Follow the path of those who turn to Me, eventually you will return to Me, and I shall inform you of what you did. L : B
