031 Surah Luqmaan

Surah Luqman is the 31st surah of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an. It is composed of 34 ayat and takes its title from the mention of the sage Luqman in verses 12–19. It was revealed in the middle of Muhammad's Meccan period, and is thus usually classified as a Meccan surah. The focus of this surah, once broken down into its many elements, can be seen as emphasizing principles of moderation. The surah uses the mustard seed analogy to emphasize the degree to which God maintains his purview over man's actions, possibly emphasizing the fact that any evil or good deed no matter how small is recorded and will be brought out by Allah during the day of judgement. A final point of focus for Surah 31 comes down to the purpose of God's creation. 31:29 and 31:20 show how God's intention through creation was to better mankind, and his signs are theoretically everywhere, from rain to vegetation. --- Updated: 2018-08-18
