Thursday 23rd April 2026 Today
Chapter 31, Verse 14
وَاِذۡ قَالَ لُقۡمٰنُ لِابۡنِہٖ وَہُوَ یَعِظُہٗ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تُشۡرِکۡ بِاللّٰہِ ؕؔ اِنَّ الشِّرۡکَ لَظُلۡمٌ عَظِیۡمٌ ﴿۱۴﴾
English Translation
And remember when Luqman said to his son while exhorting him, ‘O my dear son! associate not partners with Allah. Surely, associating partners with God is a grievous wrong.’
And call to mind when Luqman[2304] said to his son while he admonished him, ‘O my dear son! associate not partners with Allah. Surely, associating partners with Allah is a grievous wrong.’[2305]
Luqman seems to be a non-Arab, very probably an Ethiopian. He is said to belong to Egypt or Nubia. By some he has also been identified with the Greek “Aesop.” From the beautiful moral precepts he gave to his son and which are embodied in the present and the next few verses, Luqman appears to be a Prophet of God.
The first and basic principle of all religious teaching is that God is One. All noble ideals and principles flow from this doctrine. By worshipping any other thing or being beside Allah man degrades himself and stunts, stifles and stultifies his personality.
