- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا (23
اور آپ کے پروردگار کا فیصلہ ہے کہ تم سب اس کے علاوہ کسی کی عبادت نہ کرنا اور ماں باپ کے ساتھ اچھا برتاؤ کرنا اور اگر تمہارے سامنے ان دونوں میں سے کوئی ایک یا دونوں بوڑھے ہوجائیں تو خبردار ان سے اُف بھی نہ کہنا اور انہیں جھڑکنا بھی نہیں اور ان سے ہمیشہ شریفانہ گفتگو کرتے رہنا
[YOUSAF ALI] Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.
[ PICKTHAL ] Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.
[ SHAKIR ] And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا (24
اور ان کے لئے خاکساری کے ساتھ اپنے کاندھوں کو جھکا دینا اور ان کے حق میں دعا کرتے رہنا کہ پروردگار اُن دونوں پر اسی طرح رحمت نازل فرما جس طرح کہ انہوں نے بچپنے میں مجھے پالا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."
[ PICKTHAL ] And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little.
[ SHAKIR ] And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ ۚ إِنْ تَكُونُوا صَالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّابِينَ غَفُورًا (25
تمہارا پروردگار تمہارے دلوں کے حالات سے خوب باخبر ہے اور اگر تم صالح اور نیک کردار ہو تو وہ توبہ کرنے والوں کے لئے بہت بخشنے والا بھی ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts: If ye do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence).
[ PICKTHAL ] Your Lord is Best Aware of what is in your minds. If ye are righteous, then lo! He was ever Forgiving unto those who turn (unto Him).
[ SHAKIR ] Your Lord knows best what is in your minds; if you are good, then He is surely Forgiving to those who turn (to Him) frequently.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا (26
اور دیکھو قرابتداروں کو اور مسکین کو اور مسافر غربت زدہ کو اس کا حق دے دو اور خبردار اسراف سے کام نہ لینا
[YOUSAF ALI] And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift.
[ PICKTHAL ] Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and squander not (thy wealth) in wantonness.
[ SHAKIR ] And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًا (27
اسراف کرنے والے شیاطین کے بھائی بند ہیں اور شیطان تو اپنے پروردگار کا بہت بڑا انکار کرنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.
[ PICKTHAL ] Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils, and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord.
[ SHAKIR ] Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitans and the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) From Ayat: 23 to 28
وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُلْ لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَيْسُورًا (28
اگر تم کو اپنے رب کی رحمت کے انتظار میں جس کے تم امیدوار ہو ان افراد سے کنارہ کش بھی ہونا پڑے تو ان سے نرم انداز سے گفتگو کرنا
[YOUSAF ALI] And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.
[ PICKTHAL ] But if thou turn away from them, seeking mercy from thy Lord, for which thou hopest, then speak unto them a reasonable word.
[ SHAKIR ] And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your Lord, which you hope for, speak to them a gentle word.
- Sura: 17 - al-Israa' (The Night Journey) Ayat: 29
وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَحْسُورًا (29
اور خبردار نہ اپنے ہاتھوں کو گردنوں سے بندھا ہوا قرار دو اور نہ بالکل پھیلا دو کہ آخر میں قابلِ ملامت اور خالی ہاتھ بیٹھے رہ جاؤ
[YOUSAF ALI] Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute.
[ PICKTHAL ] And let not thy hand be chained to thy neck nor open it with a complete opening, lest thou sit down rebuked, denuded.
[ SHAKIR ] And do not make your hand to be shackled to your neck nor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest you should (afterwards) sit down blamed, stripped off.
- Sura: 25 - al-Furqaan (The Criterion) Ayat: 67
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامًا (67
اور یہ لوگ جب خرچ کرتے ہیں تو نہ اسراف کرتے ہیں اور نہ کنجوسی سے کام لیتے ہیں بلکہ ان دونوں کے درمیان اوسط درجے کا راستہ اختیار کرتے ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);
[ PICKTHAL ] And those who, when they spend, are neither prodigal nor grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two;
[ SHAKIR ] And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.
