وَلَقَد آتَينا لُقمانَ الحِكمَةَ أَنِ اشكُر لِلَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَشكُر فَإِنَّما يَشكُرُ لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَميدٌ

We granted Luqman wisdom: “Give thanks to God. Whoever is grateful, it is for his own good. And whoever is ungrateful—God is Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.”

نِعمَةً مِن عِندِنا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَجزي مَن شَكَرَ

As a blessing from Us. Thus, do We reward those who give thanks.

وَإِذ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُم لَئِن شَكَرتُم لَأَزيدَنَّكُم ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرتُم إِنَّ عَذابي لَشَديدٌ

Your Lord declared, “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you; but if you are ungrateful, then My punishment is severe.”

وَلَهُم فيها مَنافِعُ وَمَشارِبُ ۖ أَفَلا يَشكُرونَ

And for them therein are benefits and beverages. Won’t they be grateful?

فَكُلوا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشكُروا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم إِيّاهُ تَعبُدونَ

So, eat from what God provided for you, lawful and good, and be grateful for God’s favor, if you truly worship Him.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذو فَضلٍ عَلَى النّاسِ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَشكُرونَ

Your Lord is generous towards people, yet most of them don’t express gratitude.

يَعرِفونَ نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرونَها وَأَكثَرُهُمُ الكافِرونَ

They recognize God’s blessings, yet they reject them, for the majority of them are ungrateful.

الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

Praise be to God, Lord of the Universes.

وَآتاكُم مِن كُلِّ ما سَأَلتُموهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدّوا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ لا تُحصوها ۗ إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَظَلومٌ كَفّارٌ

He gave you something of all that you requested. If you were to count God’s blessings, you could never enumerate them. Man is given to wrongdoing and ingratitude.

لَو نَشاءُ جَعَلناهُ أُجاجًا فَلَولا تَشكُرونَ

If We willed, We could make it bitter; why, then, don’t you give thanks?

ما يَفعَلُ اللَّهُ بِعَذابِكُم إِن شَكَرتُم وَآمَنتُم ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ شاكِرًا عَليمًا

What would God do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is God Appreciative and Knowing.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا كُلوا مِن طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقناكُم وَاشكُروا لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُم إِيّاهُ تَعبُدونَ

O you who believe, eat of the wholesome things We’ve provided you, and give thanks to God, if it’s Him you worship.

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ الفُلكَ تَجري فِي البَحرِ بِنِعمَتِ اللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِن آياتِهِ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبّارٍ شَكورٍ

Don’t you see how ships sail across the sea by God’s grace, to show you some of His signs? In this, there are signs for every patient, grateful person.

وَالبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخرُجُ نَباتُهُ بِإِذنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذي خَبُثَ لا يَخرُجُ إِلّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَشكُرونَ

Fertile land yields its produce by its Lord’s permission, while infertile land produces but little. Thus, We diversify the signs for those who are grateful.

وَأَمّا بِنِعمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّث

But speak of the blessings of your Lord.
