Muslim Fathers in the Quran: Luqman

LUQMAN peace be upon him

This post is part 6 of the series about Muslim Fathers mentioned in the Quran. Translation is by T. B. Irving (http://isgkc.org/translat.htm)

(Luqman) 31: 13
Thus Luqman told his son as he was instructing him: "My dear son, do not associate anything [in your worship] of God [Alone]. Association is such a serious wrong!"

(Luqman) 31: 16-19
"My dear son, if there existed the weight of a mustard seed, and it lay in some boulder in either Heaven or Earth, God would still bring it forth. God is so Gracious, Informed.
"My dear son, keep up prayer, command what is proper and forbid dishonor. Endure patiently whatever may afflict you; for that shows determination in [handling] matters. Do not sneer down your cheek at other men nor walk brashly around the earth: God does not love every swaggering boaster. Act modestly in the way you walk, and lower your voice:
The ugliest sound is a donkey's voice!
