Chapter “LUQNAAN”- (LUQMAN) - 31
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah
from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
With regard to arrangement, this is Thirty First Chapter of Holy
Qur’an, which was revealed after middle times of stay at Makkah,
save two verses which were revealed in Madinah. It contains Four
Sections. Luqman name was respectable for the people of Arab because
there were many famous stories of the person of this name. It was said that he
was an Abyssinian slave who used to draw such results by using his God given
intelligence; after observing the occurrences in the world, which may be useful
in the life of the mankind, and he used to advise the people that they should
act according to his sayings. After that, his sayings remained among the people
of Arab like stories and tales. Then, these stories were named as Hikaayaat ‘Albaab
“The Stories of Wisdom)” which are famous even today.
Holy Qur’an has saved those advices for always which were
best and useful for the mankind and drew attention of the people of Arab that “it
would not be useful to hear or causing to hear these advices only as stories. You
should act upon them and correct your conduct and mutual behavior with one
another”. There is no mention of Luqman in Torah, but Holy Qur’an
is not specified for any particular country or nation. It instructs the mankind
to admit every good thing, whether that comes from anywhere.
You should not read the matters of ancient nations only for
amusement like exhilarating stories. Do not hear their circumstances considering
that those are only means for passing spare time. But you should take it as a
warning. Wise people of all times used to say that some works are useful and
some are injurious to mankind. Summary of the same has been recorded in Holy Qur’an.
Sayings of some people have been related as they said and circumstances of some
people have been described; so that the people may draw results useful for
themselves.
In the beginning of the Chapter, it has been commanded that you
should recite and cause to hear the circumstances of ancient people for
acquiring advice from them, correct your deeds, escape from those errors which
they committed, and whatever they said good, those all are the same which have come
in Holy Qur’an. The person, who will act upon them, will live in the
world in good condition as well as even after death he will gain comfortable
and pleasant life. It has been commanded: The first work is that you should
know Allaah Almighty, renounce from infidelity and idolatry. After that,
you should abstain from evil deeds due to fear of Allaah Almighty.
