Moderation in walking.
0:10
Allah says, recounting the advice of Luqman to his son as he exhorted him:
0:16
"And be moderate in your pace."
0:18
This has been interpreted as walking with humility, without sluggishness or feigned frailty.
0:24
For moderation is the just middle ground between two extremes.
0:29
In this context, it refers to walking with humility.
0:32
It is the middle path between the extremes of arrogance and vanity,
0:35
And the extremes of lethargy and laziness.
0:38
Perhaps another meaning of moderation is also
0:41
That a person should walk with a clear, righteous goal in mind.
0:45
Whoever walks toward a specific goal does not dawdle or move slowly,
0:51
Nor does he act with vanity or arrogance.
0:54
Rather, he walks with simplicity and purpose.
