Explanatory Note
This bond between parent and child, with all its care, love and sacrifice, nevertheless comes second to the bond of faith. Hence, immediately after the statement enjoining man to be dutiful to parents, he is told: “Yet should they endeavour to make you associate as partner with Me something of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them.” Should this happen, the duty of obeying one’s parents is no longer valid. The bond of faith supersedes all bonds. Hence, no matter how hard parents try to persuade, coerce, pressurize or force their son or daughter to associate with God anyone whose godship is unknown to them — and no being other than God has any godship to be known — they must not be obeyed. This is an order from God whom all creatures must obey.
However, differences of faith and the order not to obey parents against one’s faith does not deprive parents of their right to receive kindly and caring treatment and companionship: “but [even then] bear them company in this world’s life with kindness.” This life is, after all, a short journey that does not affect the truth: “Follow the path of those who turn towards Me,” i.e. the believers. “In the end, it is to Me that you shall all return,” after this short journey on earth; ‘when I shall inform you about all that you were doing [in life].” Everyone will have the just reward of their deeds.
3. Surah Overview
An examination of the subject matter shows that it was sent down in the period when persecution to suppress and thwart the invitation to Islam had begun. Every sort of plotting had started being employed for this purpose. This is borne out by v.14 in which the young reverts to Islam have been told that although the rights of the parents are the uppermost after God they should not listen to them if they prevented them from accepting Islam or compelled them to revert to the creed of polytheism (Shirk). The same thing has been said in Surah 29: al-‘Ankabut (The Spider) which indicates that both these Surahs were sent down in the same period. A study of the style and subject matter of the two Surahs on the whole however shows that Surah Luqman was sent down earlier for one does not see any sign of the antagonism in its background, though contrary to this while studying Surah 29: al-‘Ankabut (The Spider) one can clearly feel that the Muslims were being severely persecuted during the period of its revelation.
