Luqman: (13) And when Luqman said...

It is said: His son’s name was An‘am. Al-Kalbi said: Ashkam. It is also said that his son and his wife were disbelievers, and he did not cease [exhorting] them until they embraced Islam.

{Indeed, associating [others with Him] is a great injustice} Because equating the One from whom all blessings originate with one from whom no blessing originates at all—and from whom it is inconceivable that any blessing could originate—is an injustice whose magnitude cannot be fathomed.


{And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]. Then to Me will be your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.}
