Acts of Great Courage

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Acts of Great Courage

In Qur’aanic Chapter 31, Luqman is mentioned as an icon of grateful persons in this world. His advice to his son is quoted therein as exemplary for anyone to follow and attain salvation. Below is an extract from that advice, English rendering of which is as in QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:

17. Ya bunayya aqimi alssalata wa/mur bialmaAAroofi wainha AAani almunkari waisbir AAala maasabaka inna thalika min AAazmi al-omoori

17. “O my son! Establish the Prayer, enjoin good, and forbid evil. And bear patiently any affliction that you may suffer. Those indeed are among acts of great courage.”
