One of the beautiful reminders that Allah sets for us in the Qur'an is the story of Luqman and the advice
he gave to his son. This story can be found in Surah Luqman, Chapter 31.

Lessons to Take
1. The Importance of Calling to Tawhid
2012 (8)
The first thing that Luqman began his advice with was a reminder to believe in Allah, alone, without
partners.

Providing an explanation of this, Shaykh Rabee Al-Madhkhali writes in his article, Luqman's (the wise)
Advise to his Son, "Wisdom is to put something in its place and this is from the wisdom of Luqman and
every caller who is wise...From the aspects of wisdom is that you start with the most important of
affairs just as in the hadith of Muadh ibn Jabil which is a clarification from the Messenger (Sallaahu
alayhi wa Sallam) concerning the methodology of this call to Allaah, the exalted. The Messenger
(Sallaahu alayhi wa Sallam) said, "You will come to the people from the Book (Jews and Christians), so
let the first thing you call them to be to testify that none has the right to worshipped except Allaah" then
he mentioned Salat (prayer) and Zakat (obligatory charity)," (Ahmed, Bukhari and Muslim)."
The Shaykh continues saying, "Likewise, Luqman called his son to be upon Tawheed (maintaining the
Oneness of Allaah) and forbade him from Shirk (to associate partners with Allaah) then after that he
ordered him with prayer and to enjoin good and forbid the evil. This clearly shows his wisdom."

In verses 14 and 15, Allah tells us of the duties owed to our parents, reminds us of the hardship our
mothers bear in raising us, and commands us to be thankful.

Ibn Kathir comments on these verses, saying, "Allah mentions how the mother brings the child up, and
how she gets tired, and suffers stress from staying up with the child night and day, to remind the son of
her previous kind treatment to him."

Shaykh Madhkhali comments, "His statement 'unto Me is the final destination' is a warning from Allah
that He will call you to account with what you have put forward in this life. Were you grateful to Allah?
Have you established the obligations upon you that Allah has legislated?"

Commenting on verse 15, Shaykh Madhkhali says, "If they help you in the obedience to Allah and guide
and cultivate you with a correct upbringing then they deserve to be obeyed. If, however, they both
deviate and strive with much effort with you to fall into Shirk with Allah then there is no obedience to
them (in that). However, the general righteousness that you should have towards them does not
become void even if they try and strive against you and harm you to disbelieve in Allah, it is upon you not
to forget their rights.
His statement "but behave with them in this world kindly" means that you have good conduct towards
them, be righteous to them, spend on them even if they be disbelievers. You obey them in other than
the disobedience to Allaah. You serve them and fulfil their needs. All of this is considered to be kindness
to them."
Ibn Kathir mentions a narration recorded in At-Tabarani where Sa'd ibn Malik said that ayah 15 was
revealed concerning him: "I was a man who honored his mother, but when I became Muslim, she said:
`O Sa`d! What is this new thing I see you doing? Leave this religion of yours, or I will not eat or drink
until I die, and people will say: Shame on you, for what you have done to me, and they will say that you
have killed your mother.' I said, `Do not do that, O mother, for I will not give up this religion of mine for
anything.' She stayed without eating for one day and one night, and she became exhausted; then she
stayed for another day and night without eating, and she became utterly exhausted. When I saw that, I
said: `O my mother, by Allah, even if you had one hundred souls and they were to depart one by one, I
would not give up this religion of mine for anything, so if you want to, eat, and if you want to, do not eat.'
So she ate.''
