What is Juz by Juz: Luqman and His Son about?
Juz by Juz: Luqman and His Son is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children talk about Luqman, a wise man whose advice to his son is told in the Qur'an.
The Sheikh begins with a story told about Luqman. He was asked to bring the two best parts of a sheep, and he brought the tongue and the heart. Then he was asked for the two worst parts, and he brought the tongue and the heart again. With the tongue we can say good things or bad things, and if our heart is bad, everything else goes bad too.
Then comes Luqman's advice itself, one piece at a time. Worship Allah. Be good to your parents. Know that Allah sees even the smallest thing, like a tiny seed hidden under a rock. Be patient. And do not be arrogant, because whatever our skin colour and however much money we have, we are no better than anyone else. The Sheikh reminds the children that Shaytan, made from fire, thought he was better than Adam, and that saying Alhamdulillah for every good thing keeps us humble.
The children also learn not to pay back a bad deed with another: if a brother breaks your favourite toy, you do not break his.
As always in Juz by Juz, the children draw on their pads, this time a favourite toy and what Shaytan was made from, and answer a quiz about the father of Prophet Sulayman, where the Ka'bah is and which prophet spoke as a baby.
