AL-QUR'AN, SURAH LUQMAN, VERSE: 12-19.
Meaning:(12) "We bestowed (in the past) wisdom on Luqman: Show (thy) gratitude to God (Allah)". Any who is so grateful does so to the profit of his own soul: but if any is ungrateful, verily God is Free of all wants, Worth of all praise.
(13) Behold. Luqman said to his son by way of instruction: "O my son! join not in worship (others) with God: for false worship is indeed the highest wrong doing".
(14) And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his wearing (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal".
(15) "But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to Me (in love) in the End the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did".
(16) "O my son!" (said Luqman), "If there be (but) the weight of a mustard seed and it were hidden in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, God will bring it forth: for God (Allah) understands the finest myteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).
(17) "O my son! establish regular prayer, enjoin what just, and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betide thee; for this is firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs".
(18) "And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for God loveth not any arrogant boaster".
(19) "And be moderate in thy pace, and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass".
