The summary/theme of the surah Luqman:

 Luqman, a wise man who dispenses advice to his son in verses 12-19, gives the surah its name. According to the verse, those who follow Shirk are blindly following their forefathers. To be wise, one must believe in Allah. The verse reiterates one's gratitude and obedience to one's parents. 

Lesson learned from surah Luqman:

  1. Those who try to divert the attention of people from the Book of Allāh shall receive a painful punishment.  
  2. Ponder over the favours of Allāh and show gratitude.  
  3. Whoever is grateful to Allāh only benefits him/herself, whilst whoever is ungrateful, Allāh is independent of his gratitude.  
  4. Shirk is the greatest oppression.  
  5. Do good to your parents who went through great difficulties in bringing you up.  
  6. Even if they tell you to commit shirk, don’t obey them, but still be courteous to them.  
  7. Nothing escapes the knowledge of Allāh.  
  8. Be patient upon afflictions.  
  9. Don’t walk arrogantly.  
  10. Don’t raise your voice unnecessarily.  
  11. Only Allāh has knowledge of 5 things:  
  12. The time of the Hour  
  13. Of rainfall  
  14. Of what in in the wombs  
  15. What will happen tomorrow  
  16. Where people will die.
