Luqman’s Advice to His Son – Lessons for Life from the Quran.
Explore the heartfelt advice of Luqman to his son from Surah Luqman (31:12-19). A beautiful lesson about faith, gratitude, patience, and humility—explained in a simple and engaging way for kids!
Have your parents ever given you advice that you still remember? 🤔 Maybe they told you to always tell the truth, respect elders, or pray on time. Well, in the Quran, Allah shares with us the golden advice that Luqman gave to his son. Imagine how special and important those words must be! Let’s dive into this beautiful conversation and see what we can learn.
📖 The Story
Luqman was a wise man whom Allah blessed with great understanding. One day, he sat down with his beloved son and gave him the most valuable life lessons. His words were so full of wisdom that Allah recorded them in the Quran for all of us to benefit from!
🏆 Lesson 1: Believe in One Allah
Luqman lovingly told his son:
"O my dear son, never associate partners with Allah. Indeed, Shirk (worshipping others besides Allah) is the greatest injustice."
👉 This teaches us that our faith should always be in Allah alone. We should trust Him, worship Him, and never forget that He is the one who takes care of us.
🤲 Lesson 2: Be Grateful to Your Parents
Luqman reminded his son of how much parents do for their children.
"We have commanded people to be good to their parents. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship. So be grateful to Me and to your parents."
👉 This shows us that respecting and being kind to our parents is one of the best ways to earn Allah’s pleasure. Being disciplined and respectful can make their hearts happy.
🌱 Lesson 3: Every Deed Counts
Luqman said something amazing!
"Even if something as tiny as a mustard seed is hidden inside a rock, in the heavens, or deep in the earth, Allah will bring it forth."
👉 That means even the smallest good or bad deed we do is seen by Allah. So we should always try to do good, even when no one is watching!
🕌 Lesson 4: Pray and Be Patient
Luqman advised his son:
"Establish prayer, encourage good, and forbid evil. And be patient with whatever happens to you."
👉 Salah keeps us close to Allah, and patience helps us face challenges in life. Both are essential for success in this world and the hereafter!
🤝 Lesson 5: Be Humble and Speak Kindly
Luqman told his son:
"Do not turn your cheek away from people in arrogance, nor walk proudly on the earth. Indeed, Allah does not like the arrogant ones. And lower your voice, for the harshest of sounds is the braying of a donkey."
👉 This reminds us that pride and rudeness push people away, but kindness and humility make us beloved to others and to Allah.
🌟 Lessons for Us
✨ Worship and trust only Allah.
✨ Love, respect, and be grateful to your parents.
✨ Even small actions matter—choose good!
✨ Salah and patience bring peace.
✨ Speak gently and walk humbly.

📖 (Surah Luqman 31:12-19 )
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا لُقْمٰنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ ٱشْكُرْ لِلَّهِۚ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌۭ ١٢
وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمٰنُ لِٱبْنِهِۦ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُۥ يَٰبُنَىَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌۭ ١٣
وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسٰنَ بِوٰلِدَيْهِۦ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ وَهْنًۭا عَلَىٰ وَهْنٍۢ وَفِصٰلُهُۥ فِى عَامَيْنِ أَنِ ٱشْكُرْ لِى وَلِوٰلِدَيْكَ إِلَىَّ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ١٤
وَإِن جَٰهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِى مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌۭ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًۭا وَٱتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَىَّۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٥
يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنَّهَآ إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍۢ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍۢ فَتَكُن فِى صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِى ٱلسَّمٰوٰتِ أَوْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌۭ ١٦
يَٰبُنَىَّ أَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَٱنْهَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَكَۖ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ١٧
وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍۢ فَخُورٍۢ ١٨
وَٱقْصِدْ فِى مَشْيِكَ وَٱغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ١٩
