Surah Luqman is about Prophet Luqman giving advices to his son. No matter how deep the secret is within a person, Allah knows what that secret and bring it out is no matter how many layers you try hiding the secret. Allah is precise and subtle; Allah is fully knowledgeable and aware If someone is powerful, does not mean that they are precise. (“they may have the power to break the rock but they don’t have the precision to find the mustard seed”) Power is empty and meaningless without precision (“ Allah’s power is coupled with His precision”) Allah describes that every drop of water that falls, HE knows where the drop of water would fall precisely. The city (Loot) that Allah destroys…. Allah describes that every rock that fell had a name on it and knew where exactly the rock would fall. Luqman tells his son about Allah so the son would be appreciate Allah even more because Allah is watching even if no one sees him Allah loved the example that Luqman gave his son that HE added the advice in the Quran. Luqman tells his son to establish prayer (“everything can move like appointments, events or etc. but prayer cannot move) Prayer is very effective and is shown not just in your personality but also your behavior. Allah will bring justice on the Day of Judgment even if it is the size of the mustard seed. Prayer teaches people to stand up for each other because it is the right thing to do and standing up to corruption is a big sin. In prayer, we learn about justice and we should stand up to it even if it is against our parents. Reflection about the Surah Tul Luqman Surah Tul Luqman is about Prophet Luqman who in the surah is giving advice to his son about Allah... ... middle of paper ... ...lf Sufficient, All praised. 13. And remember when Luqman said to his son and he was admonishing him, 'O my son, associate not any one with Allah'. 'Undoubtedly, the association with Allah is a tremendous wrong'. 16.'O my son! The evil if it be even to the weight of a grain of mustered seed, then it be in a rock or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Undoubtedly Allah is Knower of every subtlety, Aware. 17.'O my son! Establish prayer and bid doing good and forbid evil and be patient over whatever befall upon. Undoubtedly, these are affairs of determination. 18.And make not your cheek crooked while talking to any one and walk not in the earth struttingly. Undoubtedly Allah loves not any arrogant boaster. 19. And walk moderately and lower your voice to some extent. Undoubtedly in all voices, the most hideous voice is of an ass.

Muhammad made it a habit to retreat to a cave in the surrounding mountains and visited to meditate and pray. In 610, at age 40 while he was there, he received a powerful message through the angel Gabriel, from God. He was given advice and guidance in many areas. Three years after this happened, Muhammad started preaching these messages publicly. What he was told is recorded in the Qur’an, which ...

...an-Islamic notion of the heavenly father and his love for mankind are striking. God loves us and wants nothing more than that we be saved from Hell. However, when man transgresses, God has no choice but to punish him accordingly; while it pains Him to do so, He must as this is a component of His divine love.

Al Ghazali studied Aristotelian philosophy in order to completely appreciate it and he then used the philosophers’ judgment to point out errors in the Aristotelian philosophies. Muslims in Al Ghazali’s time were concerned about the creation of the universe. He argued if we accept time as a creation of God, then God created time, has control to end time, time began when the world was created and will stop when the world ends. Al Ghazali contested Aristotelian philosophy that if God knew all the details this would imply an advantage in his spirit therefore there would be no change in everlasting knowledge. Consequently, Al Ghazali assisted adherents in the Middle Ages to understand; that God does know all the details and this does not imply an advantage in his spirit. To highlight God’s supremacy and ability to know all things Al Ghazali used what the Qur’an said about God being all

The man had brought the boy to Umar and he blamed the boy for his disobedience. Then the boy addressed Umar by saying ‘O Commander of the Faithful: Are there no rights for a boy against his father?’ Umar said "Yes". Then the boy said ‘What are these rights O Commander of the Faithful?’ Umar said, ‘To choose a good mother for him, to select a good name to him and to teach him the Quran’. Then the boy said: ‘O Commander of the faithful; my father has not accomplished any of these rights. As for my mother, she was a black slave for a Magician; as for my name, he has named me Jual (beetle); and he has not taught me even one letter from the Quran’. Then Umar turned round to the man and said ‘You came to me complaining disobedience on the part of your son, whereas you have not given him his rights. So you have made mistakes against him before he has made mistakes against

All of this is not to say that prayer does not play an important part
Prayer is a very important action in all of us as Christians. We should know why we pray and why it is important. We should also know that prayer cant just come from our mouths but from our hearts as well. Our affections cling to self and to worldly objectives; our prayer cannot rise above their level no matter what words we use. In Luke 11:1 it says “ Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” we should be taught to pray either from the church or from the people around us. Taught in a sense of listening, not actually taking lessons on it. We need to pray because prayer is the most important part of the thank...
Prayer is important because it allows us to have an intimate conversation with the Lord, as well as a relationship. It helps build our relationship with Him and makes it only even more powerful each time. Also, by praying, we are allowing and putting all of our faith into God's hands and letting him take the wheel and be in control of our lives and guiding us into making smart choices and decisions.
