Enjoining
Prayers
“O
my son! perform AsSalat (prayers), enjoin (people) for Al-Maroof (Islamic
Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from AlMunkar (i.e.
disbelief in the Oneness of Allah, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil
and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily! These are some
of the important commandments ordered by Allah with no exemption. (Quran:
Luqman: 17)
Do
not be arrogant and proud
“And
turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the
earth. Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster. (Quran: Luqman: 18)
Be
humble and lower your voice
“And
be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice.
Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the donkey.” (Quran: Luqman: 19)
Other
words of wisdom from Luqman (not narrated in the Quran) [ibn Katheer]
Luqman
on being granted respect and honor
Narrated
Ibn Wahb: I was told by ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Ayyash Al-Fityani after’ Umar, the freed
slave of ‘Afrah as saying: “A man came to Luqman, the wise and asked: Are you
Luqman? Are you the slave of so and so? He said: “Yes!” The man said: You are
the black shepherd! Luqman said: As for my black color, it is obviously
apparent, so what makes you so astonished? The man said: You became frequently
visited by the people who pleasingly accept your judgments! Luqman said: 0
cousin! If you do what I am telling you, you will be like this. The man said:
What is it? Luqman said: Lowering my gaze, watching my tongue, eating what is
lawful, keeping my chastity, undertaking my promises, fulfilling my
commitments, being hospitable to guests, respecting my neighbors, and
discarding what does not concern me. All these made me the one you are looking
at.”
Lowering
of the gaze usually refers to not looking at men / women (other than your
spouse) with a bad desire and to look at them only for valid reasons as
prescribed in the religion. Refer to Islam-qa.com for detailed explanation on
this topic.
Luqman
on the value of Wisdom
Narrated
Damurah after As-Sariy Ibn Yahia as saying: Luqman said to his son: “O my son!
Verily, wisdom has brought the indigent to the courts of kings. ”
Luqman
on propagating wisdom to others and to take it seriously when given by others
I
was told by my father after ‘Amr Ibn ‘Uthman after Damurah Ibn Hafs Ibn ‘Umar
as saying: “Luqman placed a bag of mustards beside him and started to advise
his son, giving him with every piece of advice a mustard till it all ran out.
He said: O my son! I gave you advice that if a mountain was given, it would
split………”
Luqman
on the need to have a pleasing tongue and sound heart
Yazid
Ibn Hamn and Waki’ told us after Abul AShhab after Khalid Ar-Rab’i as saying:
“Luqman was an Ethiopian slave who worked as a carpenter. One day, his master
ordered him to slaughter a goat and bring him the most pleasant and delicious
two parts thereof. Luqman did so and brought him the tongue and heart. The
master asked: Did not you find anything more pleasant than these? Luqman said:
No! After a while, the master ordered him to slaughter a goat and to throw the
most malignant two parts thereof. Luqman slaughtered the goat and threw the
tongue and heart. The master exclaimed and said: I ordered you to bring me the
most delicious parts thereof and you brought me the tongue and heart, and I
ordered you to throwaway the most malignant parts thereof and you threw the
tongue and heart, how can this be? Luqman said: Nothing can be more pleasing
than these if they were good, and nothing can be more malicious than these if
they were malignant.”
Luqman
on “Speech is silver and slince is golden”
Luqman
said to his son: “O my son! I have never regretted because of keeping silent.
If words are silver, silence is golden.”
Luqman
on the need to have kindness, mercy and love for others
Abu
Mu’awiyah told us after Hisham Ibn ‘Urwah after his father as saying: “Wisdom
dictates: O my son: Let your speech be good and your face be smiling, you will
be more loved by the people than those who give them provisions.” And, he said:
“It is stated in the wisdom -or the Torah – : “Kindness is the head of wisdom.”
And, he said: “It is stated in the Torah: “As you show mercy (to others), mercy
will be shown to you.”
Luqman
on giving
And,
he said: “It is stated in the wisdom: “You will gain what you give (or, harvest
what you grow).”
Luqman
on friendships
And,
he said: “It is stated in the wisdom: “Love your friend and the friend of your
father.”
Luqman
on patience, knowledge, and goodness
`Abdur
Razzaq told us after Mu’amir after Ayyub after Abu Qulabah as saying: Luqman
was once asked: Who is the best one in terms of patience? He said: It is the one
who practices no harm after observing patience. Those who asked him said: Who
is the best one in terms of knowledge? He said: It is he who adds to his own
knowledge through the knowledge of others. They asked: Who is the best from
among the whole people? He said: It is the wealthy. They said: Is it the one
who has properties and riches? He said: No! But, it is the one if whose good
was sought, he would not hold it back or prevent it. And, it is the one who
does not need anything from others.
Luqman
on the need to keep good company and to consult scholars
‘Abdullah
Ibn Ahmed said: I was told by Al-Hakam Ibn Abu Zuhair Ibn Musa after Al-Faraj
Ibn Fudalah after Abu Sa’id as saying: Luqman said to his son: “O my son! Let
only the pious men eat your food, and consult the scholars over your affairs.”
Finally, wisdom in matters is one of the blessings that Allah
grants to His creation. The Almighty says in the Quran: “He grants Hikmah to
whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant
good. But none remember (will receive admonition) except men of understanding.”
(Quran: Al-Baqara: 269)
