Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 31 Luqman, Ayat 15-15
وَاِنۡ جَاهَدٰكَ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ تُشۡرِكَ بِىۡ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ ۙ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَا وَصَاحِبۡهُمَا فِى الدُّنۡيَا مَعۡرُوۡفًا وَّاتَّبِعۡ سَبِيۡلَ مَنۡ اَنَابَ اِلَىَّ ۚ ثُمَّ اِلَىَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ
﴿31:15﴾
(31:15) But if they press you to associate others with Me in My Divinity,
(to associate) those regarding whom you have no knowledge24 (that
they are My associates), do not obey them. And yet treat them well in this world,
and follow the way of him who turns to Me in devotion. Eventually it is to Me
that all of you shall return,25 and I shall then tell you all that
you did.”26
Notes
25. “All of you”: the children as well as the parents.
26. For explanation, see (E.Ns 11 and 12 of Surah Al- Ankabut).
27. The other admonitions of Luqman are being narrated here to imply that
like the basic beliefs, the teachings pertaining to morals that the Prophet
(peace be upon him) is presenting, are not anything new in Arabia.
