The Lessons of Luqman - Islamic Story

Wisdom of Luqman

Luqman was a wise man who lived in Arabia. Allah gave him wisdom and asked him to be thankful to the Almighty. Luqman believed in Allah and asked his son not to worship anyone but Allah and to be regular in prayers. He also asked him to be kind to his parents and not to treat anyone with scorn. Luqman advised him to speak out for justice and forbid evil and to be patient, even in suffering. He told his son: " Allah does not love the arrogant and the boastful, but the humble. One should not even walk proudly on the Earth and should be polite and speak softly. "

He added that Allah's laws are for man's own good. True wisdom is divine wisdom. They cannot be separated. Wise are those who truly believe in Allah and His laws and live according to His will. In this way they also live in accordance with there own nature as made by Allah. Luqman believed that human beings in all their thoughts and actions should be moderate like other creations of Allah.
