An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol. 14
From Surah al- ‘Ankabut (29) verse 45 to Surah al-Azhab (33) The light
of Islam has enlightened and continuing to enlighten every corner in the
world and seekers of truth have closely associated to the Holy Quran
which carries the Word of Allah (SWT) to humanity. With increasing focus
and attention to the Holy Quran, efforts has been done to provide a
pure, correct and accurate translation of this divine book. But
sometimes it is difficult for the readers to understand all of the
apparent and hidden meanings and it is the duty of every Muslim, man or
woman, to read, understand and contemplate on the Holy Qur’an according
to his own capacity. Hence, the need for proper explanation becomes
obvious and necessary. The book titled, “An Enlightening Commentary into
the Light of the Holy Qur’an” compiled by a group of Muslim scholars,
under the direction of Ayatullah Allamah Al-Hajj Sayyid Kamal Faqih
Imani is a valuable effort which presents a thorough commentary on the
Quran in 20 volumes made available to the reader.

Surah Luqman, Chapter 31
========================

**(Luqman)**

**No. 31 (Revealed at Mecca)**

**34 Verses in 4 Sections**

The Feature of the Surah
------------------------

<blockquote dir="rtl">
  <p>
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
  </p>
</blockquote>

***In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful***

This is one of Meccan Suras, and it is called Luqman because of the
existence of Luqman’s name in this Surah. It is among the sixth Suras
which begin with abbreviated letters: A.L.M.

The content of Surah Luqman can be summarized briefly in the following
instances:

1- The statement of the greatness and importance of the Holy Qur’an
concerning the guidance of humankind.

2- The division of human beings into the benevolent and the tyrant, and
the statement of their fate.

3- The advice and wise teachings of Luqman to his son.

4- The reasons for the Faith in Origin and Resurrection.

5- The statement of Allah’s particular knowledge, such as: the time of
every one’s death and the time of the occurrence of Resurrection.

The Virtue of the Surah
-----------------------

We recite in a tradition narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) that he
said:

*“Whoever recites Surah Luqman at night Allah ordains thirty angels to
protect him during the night until morning from Satan and his army, and
if he recites it in daytime these angels protect him from Satan and his
army until evening.”*

We have repeatedly said, and now we emphatically say again, that the
recitation of a Surah as the cause of these many virtues, divine
rewards, and honour is for the sake that recitation is a preliminary for
contemplation, and a thinking which in turn is a preliminary for action.
Therefore, we must not expect those abundant virtues for a mere
recitation.
