Sura Luqman

Luqman is depicted as a figure rich in wisdom, particularly due to his devotion to God and understanding of life’s complexities. The Shia tradition holds Luqman as a paragon of ethical conduct, serving as a moral touchstone for believers. His narrative urges contemplation about the significance of wisdom in navigating the vicissitudes of life.

The first verses of the Surah articulate Luqman’s insightful admonitions to his son. One of the salient features of his speeches is the promotion of the oneness of God, reinforcing the Shia belief in Tawhid (the Oneness of God). By emphasizing monotheism, he lays the groundwork for a moral framework that governs individual behavior within society.
