WHO WAS LOGHMAN Verses 12-15

      We now may hear the argument about Monotheism and the oneness of God, in substance, attributes, and acts, from the tongue of a sage who advises his son. He begins his preaching with:-

      ``O, My son! Do not associate anything or anyone with Allah, be thankful to Him, and do good to your parents.''

      Here in six successive verses, ten important advices have been given by a sage whose name was LOGHMÄN, to his own beloved son. These advices consists of adherence to faith in God, and His love, and oneness, some moralities, and some religious instructions.

      Allah endowed Loghmän with wisdom and knowledge and after introducing him in Qurän, some of his teachings, too, have been mentioned. Among these is thankfulness to Allah, the good result of which, shall return to the thanks giver:-

      ``....Give thanks to Allah. And he who gives thanks he only gives thanks for the benefit of himself, and he who was thankless, surely Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy''

      It seems that the main object in Loghmän's wisdom and doctrine was the Oneness of God:-

      ``....O, my son! Do not associate anything or anyone with Allah, that polytheism is a great oppression.''

      Following Monotheism Loghmän enjoins doing good to all the fellow-men and in particular, being kind and gentle to parents:-

      ``And We enjoined man to do good to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness....''
