God also says...

God also says: Whatever you (people) have been given are only the means for enjoyment and beauty of the worldly life, but the means of enjoyment (which you will receive from God) in the life to come will be better and everlasting. Will you then not take heed? O Husham, God then warns the unintelligent against His chastisement. He the Majestic says: Then We totally destroyed the others. You pass by (their ruined town) in the morning and at night. Will you then not understand?

O Husham, God then expounds that mind is always favoring knowledge. He says: These are parables, which We tell to human being, but only the learned ones understand them. O Husham, God then dispraises those who are incapable of understanding. He says: When some people are asked to follow the revelations of God, they say, "We would rather follow what our fathers have followed," even though their fathers had no understanding and could not find the true guidance.

God says: The wickedest beasts in the sight of God are the deaf and the dumb who have no understanding. God says: If you ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth," they will certainly say, "God has created them." Say, "It is only God who deserves all praise, but most of them do not know. God then dispraises the majority. He says: Most of the people in the land will lead you away from God's guidance if you follow them. …But many of them are ignorant.

Hence, most of them have no feeling. O Husham, God then praises minority. He says: Very few of My servants are grateful. … Except for the righteously striving believers who are very few. No one believed in him, except a few. O Husham, God then mentions the people of the reasonable understanding in the best way of praise and describes them in the best wording. He says: God gives wisdom to anyone whom He wants. Whoever is given wisdom, certainly, has received much good.

Only people of reason can grasp this. God also says: This is a reminder for everyone who has a heart. 'Heart' in the previous Verse stands for the capability of understanding. God also says: We gave wisdom to Luqman. 'Wisdom' stands for understandability and intelligence. O Husham, Luqman said to his son: "Show modesty before the right and you will be the most reasonable. O son, this world is a deep ocean in which many people have sunk.
