About this video

In seven verses of Surah Luqman, a wise father passes on what matters most: no partners with Allah, gratitude, prayer, patience and humility, with Allah's own words about parents placed in the middle. We read them in translation, see how the Prophet ﷺ himself quoted Luqman (Bukhari 3429), and hear what he said pride really is (Muslim 91). Framing is drawn, with attribution, from Maulana Maududi's Tafhim al-Qur'an and Dr Israr Ahmed's Bayan-ul-Qur'an.
