Quran 31:20~21
Have you not seen that Allah has subjected for you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and has lavished His favours upon you, both seen and unseen? ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture. When it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they reply, “No! We ˹only˺ follow what we found our forefathers practicing.” ˹Would they still do so˺ even if Satan is inviting them to the torment of the Blaze? Quran 31:20~21 Surah Luqman

أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَمَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَأَسۡبَغَ عَلَیۡكُمۡ نِعَمَهُۥ ظَـٰهِرَةࣰ وَبَاطِنَةࣰۗ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن یُجَـٰدِلُ فِی ٱللَّهِ بِغَیۡرِ عِلۡمࣲ وَلَا هُدࣰى وَلَا كِتَـٰبࣲ مُّنِیرࣲ وَإِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُوا۟ بَلۡ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ ءَابَاۤءَنَاۤۚ أَوَ لَوۡ كَانَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنُ یَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِیرِ
In this Surah, Tawhid is emphasized and Shirk and its ideas are critically examined. It tells us that those who are following Shirk they are only blindly following their forefathers. The true wisdom is to believe in Allah. The advises of Luqman the wise are also given here to support the same principles.
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ جو کچھ آسمانوں میں اور جو کچھ زمین میں ہے سب کو خدا نے تمہارے قابو میں کر دیا ہے اور تم پر اپنی ظاہری اور باطنی نعمتیں پوری کردی ہیں۔ اور بعض لوگ ایسے ہیں کہ خدا کے بارے میں جھگڑتے ہیں نہ علم رکھتے ہیں اور نہ ہدایت اور نہ کتاب روشن اور جب اُن سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ جو (کتاب) خدا نے نازل فرمائی ہے اُس کی پیروی کرو۔ تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم تو اسی کی پیروی کریں گے جس پر اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا۔ بھلا اگرچہ شیطان ان کو دوزخ کے عذاب کی طرف بلاتا ہو (تب بھی؟)
