Luqmân's Advice to his Son

The Qur'ân contains ten precious advices Luqmân offered his son.
Following is the list of this advice offered to Muslim parents, that
they may communicate them to their children, family and members of
society that they may implement them. If this valuable advise is
followed and implemented, then we will all be on the straight Path
leading to Paradise . Luqmân himself summed up in a few words the way to
succeed in this life and on the Day of Judgment.

1. Luqmân warns his son against the greatest injustice man can do. Allâh
said that Luqmân said:

"O my son! Join not in worship others with Allâh. Verily, joining others
in worship with Allâh is a great injustice indeed." [31:13]

Luqmân calls his son: "My Son". To do so catches his son's attention so
that he may listen carefully to his father . Then he calls his son's
attention to Tawhid. " Shirk," Luqmân said:" Is a great injustice indeed
".

Therefore, the one who associates others with Allâh in worship does
injustice to Allâh, the owner and Creator of the universe. A great
injustice is also done to the Mushrik: he subjects himself to Allâh's
anger and eternal punishment in Hell.

2. Luqmân reminds his son of the rights of his parents on him,

"and We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and good to his parents. His
mother bore him upon weakness and hardship" [31:14]

He describes hardships mothers face bearing children.

"And his weaning is in two years, give thanks to Me and to your parents.
Unto Me is the final destination. " [ 31:14]

Luqmân mentions the total dependence of infants on their mothers for two
years. Thank Allâh, and then your parents. Is not, then the final
destination is to Allâh.

"And if they both strive with you to make you join in worship with me
others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but
behave with them in the world kindly." [31:15]

Luqmân tells his son that if the parents are Mushrikîn, then do not
follow their way: Allâh's right comes first by far. Even so. for as long
as the live, treat your Mushrik parents with kindness.

3. Luqmân then describes some of Allâh's Might.

"O my son! If it be equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and
though it be in a rock, or in the Heavens or the earth, Allâh will bring
it forth. Verily Allâh is subtle in bringing out that grain, well aware
of its place." [31:16]

Allâh's Knowledge is so perfect that the existence of anything, big or
small, is acknowledged and controlled by Him. Luqmân tries to impress
his son reminding him of Allâh's absolute control over His kingdom. Such
might and power must not be challenged or ignored by anyone.

4. A great advice to Luqman's son is to establish regular prayer, on
time and with the best possible performance,

"O my son! Offer prayer perfectly." [31:17]

Prayer is the direct connection between a Muslim and his Creator.
Parents must take great care to teach and call upon their children to
establish prayer.

5. Luqmân advises his son to "enjoin (people) for good, and forbid from
evil." [31:17]
If every Muslim observe this duty, then evil and mischief will have no
place in Muslim society.

6. After the useful advice he offered his son, Luqmân recommended
patience in implementing them, and in all matters of life,

"And bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these are some of
the important commandments ordered by Allâh with no exemption." [31:17]

Patience is a righteous act ordered, and rewarded by Allâh.

7. Arrogance is an attribute of Allâh alone and not for man.
The Creator and Owner of the universe is the only One who deserves to be
Arrogant. Allâh threatens arrogant people with punishment in Hellfire.
Luqmân said:

"And turn not your face away from men with pride." [31:18]

8. To be moderate is a great attitude anyone can possess,

"Nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily Allâh likes not each
arrogant boaster." [31:18]

Allâh does not like that man is arrogant and proud of themselves.

9. To be moderate in walking and talking is also one of Luqman's advises
to his son, "And be moderate (or show no insolence) in walking." [31:19]

Islâm offers a code of conduct in every aspect of life. Even the way
Muslims walk and talk are regulated. Islam offers guidelines in this
regard that will produce the best behavior and generate respect.

10. Luqmân reminds his son that being harsh while talking will liken his
voice to the braying of a donkey. Shouting does not win hearts, rather,
it will offend and alienate people,

"And lower your voice. Verily the harshest of all voices is the voice
(braying] of an ass!!" [31:19]

Luqmân shows great wisdom in his advice to his son. If Muslims parents
take his example, and have their children implement these advises, then
by Allâh's permission our Ummah will be successful.

Luqmân's Advice to his Son 
 
 
The Qur'ân contains ten precious
advices Luqmân offered his son. Following is the list
of this advice offered to Muslim parents, that they may communicate them to
their children, family and members of society that they may implement them. If
this valuable advise is followed and implemented, then we will all be on the
straight Path leading to <st1:place>Paradise</st1:place> . Luqmân himself summed up in a few
words the way to succeed in this life and on the Day of Judgment. 
 
 
 
1. Luqmân warns his son against the greatest
injustice man can do. Allâh said that Luqmân said: 
 
"O my son! Join not in worship others
with Allâh. Verily, joining others in worship with Allâh is a great injustice indeed." [31:13]
 
 
Luqmân calls his son: "My Son". To do so catches his son's attention so
that he may listen carefully to his father . Then he
calls his son's attention to Tawhid. " Shirk," Luqmân
said:" Is a great injustice indeed
". 
 
 
Therefore, the one who associates others with Allâh
in worship does injustice to Allâh, the owner and
Creator of the universe. A great injustice is also done to the Mushrik: he subjects himself to Allâh's
anger and eternal punishment in Hell. 
 
 
2. Luqmân reminds his son of the rights of his

enjoined on man to be dutiful and good to his parents. His mother bore him upon
weakness and hardship" [31:14] 
 
He describes hardships mothers face bearing children. 
 
"And his weaning is in two years, give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination. " [ 31:14] 
 
Luqmân mentions the total dependence of infants on
their mothers for two years. Thank Allâh, and then
your parents. Is not, then the final destination is to Allâh.
 
 
"And if they both strive with you to
make you join in worship with me others that of which you have no knowledge,
then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly."
[31:15] 
 
Luqmân tells his son that if the
parents are Mushrikîn, then do not follow
their way: Allâh's right comes first by far. Even so. for as long as the live,
treat your Mushrik parents with kindness. 
 
 
3. Luqmân then describes some of Allâh's
