Waqada rabbuka alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu wabialwalidayni ihsanan imma yablughanna AAindaka alkibara ahaduhuma aw kilahuma fala taqul lahuma offin wala tanharhuma waqul lahuma qawlan kareeman\n23. Why Lord hath decreed\n That ye worship hone but Him,\n And that ye be kind\n To parents. Whether one\n Or both of them attain\n Old age in thy life,\n Say not to them a word\n Of contempt, nor repel them,\n But address them\n In terms of honour.\n24. Waikhfid lahuma janaha alththulli mina alrrahmati waqul rabbi irhamhuma kama rabbayanee sagheeran\n24. And, out of kindness,\n Lower to them the wing\n Of humility, and say:\n \"My Lord! bestow on them\n Thy Mercy even as they\n Cherished me in childhood.\n25. Rabbukum aAAlamu bima fee nufoosikum in takoonoo saliheena fa-innahu kana lil-awwabeena ghafooran\n25. Your Lord knoweth best\n What is in your hearts:\n If ye do deeds of righteousness,\n Verily He is Most Forgiving\n To those who turn to Him\n Again and again\n (in true penitence).\n26. Waati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli wala tubaththir tabtheeran\n26. And render to the kindred\n Their due rights, as (also)\n To those in want,\n And to the wayfarer:\n But squander not (your wealth)\n In the manner of a spendthrift.\n27. Inna almubaththireena kanoo ikhwana alshshayateeni wakana alshshaytanu lirabbihi kafooran\n27. Verily spendthrifts are brothers\n Of the Evil Ones;\n And the Evil One\n Is to his Lord (Himself)\n Ungrateful.\n28. Wa-imma tuAAridanna AAanhumu ibtighaa rahmatin min rabbika tarjooha faqul lahum qawlan maysooran\n28. And even if thou hast\n To turn away from them\n In pursuit of the Mercy\n From thy Lord which thou\n Dost expect, yet speak\n To them a word\n Of easy kindness.\n29. Wala tajAAal yadaka maghloolatan ila AAunuqika wala tabsutha kulla albasti fataqAAuda malooman mahsooran\n29. Make not thy hand tied\n (Like a niggard's) to thy neck,\n Nor stretch it forth\n To its utmost reach,\n So that thou become\n Blameworthy and destitute.\n30. Inna rabbaka yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru innahu kana biAAibadihi khabeeran baseeran\n30. Verily thy Lord doth provide\n Sustenance in abundance\n For whom He pleaseth, and He\n Provideth in a just measure.\n For He doth know\n And regard all His servants.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVII.: Ban\u012b Isr\u0101-\u012bl, ...","type":"page"}
