Summary: Surah Luqman (31:12-15). Wisdom is only good when it helps translate knowledge for the benefit of others. This is the hikmah that Allah (S) bestowed upon Luqman. In this lecture: Allah is above a need for gratitude; Luqman’s unique evaluation of Allah’s praiseworthiness; wisdom begins at home; shirk as a dzulm upon the self; insights into shifts in narrative; the universal value of appreciating one’s parents; struggling to fulfil the rights of God.
