Colorful Surah Luqman with Eng

Luqman is the 31st Surah of the Holy Qur'an with Uthmani English translation

Luqman (Arabic: لُقْمَان) is the 31st chapter (sūrah) of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an. It is composed of 34 verses (āyāt) and takes its title from the mention of the sage Luqman in verses 12–19 which includes advices to his son. It was, according to Islamic traditional chronology (asbāb al-nuzūl), revealed in the middle of Muhammad's Meccan period, and is thus usually classified as a Meccan / Makki sura.

The focus of this sura, once broken down into its many elements, can be seen as emphasizing principles of moderation. The sura uses the mustard seed analogy to emphasize the degree to which God maintains his purview over man's actions, possibly emphasizing the fact that any evil or good deed no matter how small is recorded and will be brought out by Allah in the Day of Judgement. A final point of focus for Sura 31 comes down to the purpose of God's creation. 31:29 and 31:20 show how God's intention through creation was to better mankind, and his signs are theoretically everywhere, from rain to vegetation. This emphasis once again reminds people of their subservience to Allah while also driving home the idea that man is meant to do good on Earth. Man's purpose is to serve God, while the Earth has been created in order to facilitate man's needs.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that if Surah Luqman is recited at night, then angels protect the reciter from Iblees and his army until the next morning, and if recited in the daytime then the angels protect from them him until nighttime.

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that whoever recites this Surah will be raised on the Day of Judgement with Hadhrat Luqman (a.s.) and will get the reward which is ten times the amount of people who have advised others to do good (amr-bil-ma’ruf) and prevented them from doing bad (nahy-‘anil-munkar).

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has also said that writing this Surah
