وَلَقَدْ
آتَيْنَا
لُقْمَانَ
الْحِكْمَةَ
أَنِ
اشْكُرْ
لِلَّهِ
وَمَن
يَشْكُرْ
فَإِنَّمَا
يَشْكُرُ
لِنَفْسِهِ
وَمَن
كَفَرَ
فَإِنَّ
اللَّهَ
غَنِيٌّ
حَمِيدٌ

we bestowed (in the past) Wisdom on Luqman: "Show (thy) gratitude to Allah." Any who is (so) grateful does so to the profit of his own soul: but if any is ungrateful, verily Allah is free of all wants, Worthy of all praise.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Certainly We gave Luqman wisdom, saying, ‘Give thanks to Allah; and whoever gives thanks, gives thanks only for his own sake. And whoever is ungrateful, [let him know that] Allah is indeed all-sufficient, all-laudable.’
