Hazrat Luqman's advices

Hazrat Luqman (A.S) full name was Luqman bin `Anqa' bin Sadun, and his son's name was Tharan. Hazrat Luqman (A.S) advised his son, the closest and most beloved of all people to him, who deserved to be given the best of his knowledge.

To worship Allah

Hazrat Luqman (A.S) started by advising him to worship Allah Alone, and not to associate anything with Him. And We have enjoined on man

To be dutiful and good to parents

His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship.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 of him But Allah says if your parents try hard to make you follow them in their religion, then do not accept that from them, but do not let that stop you from behaving with them in the world kindly, i.e. treating them with respect.

Do not do wrong action

Hazrat Luqman (A.S) said "O my son! if a wrong action or a sin be equal to the size of a grain of mustard seed.Allah will bring it forth on the Day of Resurrection, when it is placed in the Scales of justice and everyone is rewarded or punished for his actions .if they are good, he will be rewarded and if they are bad he will be punished. Allah’s knowledge is subtle, for nothing is hidden from Him, no matter how small, subtle and minute. even of the footsteps of an ant in the darkest night. :

Perform the salah

Then Luqman) said: O my son! Offer the prayer properly at the appointed times.

Enjoin the good, and forbid the evil

Hazrat Luqman (A.S) knew that whoever enjoins what is good and forbids what is evil, will inevitably encounter harm and annoyance from people.

To be patient:

He said being patient when people cause harm or annoyance is one of the most important commandments.

Don’t be proud:

He said , `do not turn your face away from people when you speak to them or they speak to you. looking down on them in an arrogant fashion.
Be gentle toward people:
He said to be be gentle towards them and greet them with a cheerful face. one who shows off and admires himself, feeling that he is better than others. walk in a moderate manner, neither slow and lazy nor excessively fast, but be moderate, somewhere in between these two extremes.

lower your voice:

Do not exaggerate in your speaking and do not raise your voice unnecessarily. when a person raises his voice, the resulting noise is like the voice of a donkey in its loudness. This is hateful to Allah.

Greet people with salam

Hazrat Luqman (A.S) said to his son: `O my son! When you come to a gathering of people, greet them with Salam, then sit at the edge of the group, and do not speak until you see that they have finished speaking. Then if they remember Allah, join them, but if they speak of anything else, then leave them and go to another group'.''
