Luqman is a holy man that mentioned in Luqman (surah) in Quran. He believed in Nubia, present-day Ethiopia. He is a preceptive man, always watching the animal and he tried to understand to the world based on what he saw. One day, while he sleeping under the tree, the angle come to him and said God wanted to bestow a gift upon Luqman: eitherto be a prophet or wise man. Luqman choose to be wise man. When he wake up from his slumber, he was aware that his sense and understanding has become sharpened. He felt complete harmony with and nature and could understand the inner meaning of things, beyond the physical. Immidiately he bowed down, praised and thankful to God for this wonderful gift.
Unfortunately, he captured by slaver and sold as slave. His master was kind man and ordered Luqman freed immidiately after he dead. He traveled and setteled in the district of Elah and Midian. He also appointed as judge during King David's period. His principes are truthful speech, fulling the trust and leaving what does not concern me.
It not be confused that Luqman was a prophet.
