وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـٰنًا وَبِذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْجَارِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْجَارِ ٱلْجُنُبِ وَٱلصَّاحِبِ بِٱلْجَنۢبِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا

Translations of Quran 4:36
EnglishTalal Itani

Worship Allah, and ascribe no partners to Him, and be good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the neighbor next door, and the distant neighbor, and the close associate, and the traveler, and your servants. Allah does not love the arrogant showoff.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful,

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem Allah’a ibadet edin ve ona hiç bir şeyi şerik koşmayın, sonra babaya anaya ihsan edin, akribanıza da öksüzlere de, yoksullara da, yakın komşuya da, uzak komşuya da, arkadaşa da yolda kalmışa da, ellerinizdeki memlûklere de, her halde Allah kurumlu öğüngen olanların hiç birini sevmez.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Adorez Dieu et ne lui associez rien. Témoignez de la bonté à vos pères et mères, à vos parents, aux orphelins, aux pauvres, aux clients qui vous sont liés par le sang et aux clients étrangers, à vos compagnons, aux voyageurs et à vos esclaves. Dieu n’aime pas l’homme présomptueux et glorieux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Dien God en verbind geen schepsel met hem. Wees goed voor uwe vaders en moeders, voor bloedverwanten, weezen, armen, uwen nabuur, die u bestaat en ook voor den nabuur die vreemdeling is; voor uwe makkers, reizigers en voor hen die uwe rechterhand zal bezitten (slaven). God bemint de hoovaardige en snoevende menschen niet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Adorate Dio, e non gli associate nulla nel suo culto. Siate buoni verso il padre, e la madre, parenti, orfani, poveri, clienti legati con vincolo di sangue, clienti estranei, compagni, viaggiatori, ed i vostri schiavi. Iddio non ama gli orgogliosi, ed i presuntuosi;
