Tafsir of Surah Luqman
Surah Luqman (31) highlights the wisdom of Luqman and the essential principles of faith and righteous living. It calls people to recognise Allah’s signs, establish prayer, show gratitude, and remain humble. Luqman’s advice to his son emphasises worshipping Allah alone, honouring parents, being conscious that Allah knows even the smallest deed, maintaining prayer, encouraging good and preventing evil, and avoiding arrogance. The surah concludes by reminding us that only Allah possesses complete knowledge of the unseen and that every person will ultimately return to Him. This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur’an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan. While not a full tafsir, these concise and heartfelt talks aim to highlight key themes and insights from each Surah to inspire a deeper connection with the Qur’an. In this series, we’ve taken those reflections and focused them surah by surah, offering a dedicated video for each chapter of the Qur’an. The goal is to spark curiosity, build motivation, and encourage further study of the Qur’an in a manageable, engaging format. Whether you're revisiting familiar Surahs or exploring new ones, these summaries are here to help you pause, reflect, and fall in love with the Qur’an all over again.
