The Holy Quran 31:33 — Surah Luqman

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱخْشَوْا۟ يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِى وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ

Translation

O people! Fear Allaah and beware of the day (of Qiyaamah) when a father will be of no benefit to his son, nor will a child be of any benefit to his father (because each one will be concerned only about himself). Verily Allaah's promise (of Qiyaamah) is true. So let not the life of this world deceive you (into believing that Qiyaamah will never come), and do not allow the great deceiver (Shaytaan) deceive you about Allaah (by making you think that it is all right to continue sinning because Allaah is Merciful and will always forgive you. Do not also allow him to deceive you into thinking that Allaah is pleased with you because He grants you many favours and you therefore have no reason to change your evil ways).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

“Myself! Myself!” on the Day of Resurrection: at the time of a storm, there is great confusion among the passengers of a ship. Everyone is anxious to save his own life, yet parents do not become completely heedless of their children, nor children of their parents.
