Luqman (sura)

Luqman (sura)

Surat Luqman ( _ar. سورة لقمان) (Luqman) is the 31st sura of the Qur'an with 34 ayats. This surah is believed to have been revealed to the prophet Muhammad (SA) in Mecca. This surah reminds the believer that God ensures His Protection to those who remain steadfast in the prayers and give their wealth to those who are needy, granted that the intentions are pure. This sura also tackles the issue of the respect due to one's parents when it comes to the worship of God. "And We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents - His mother beareth him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years - Give thanks unto Me and unto thy parents. Unto Me is the journeying." (Ayah 14) God acknowledges the authority parents have over their children--the mother for bearing the child throughout the hardship of pregnancy and labor. But when the parents are leading their children astray from the true worship of God, God says, "But if they strive with thee to make thee ascribe unto Me as partner that of which thou hast no knowledge, then obey them not. Consort with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who repenteth unto Me. Then unto Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what ye used to do." (Ayah 15) But God reminds the believer, "Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it will earn to-morrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware." (Ayah 34) Fact|date=May 2008
