Islaamic History Hadhrat Luqmaan (R) the Wise Approximately 3000 years before Hadhrat Isa (AS), there lived a very pious man in Arabia called Hadhrat Luqmaan (R). He was the nephew of Hadhrat Ayyoob (AS) (sister’s son) and his origins are traced to the Nubians of Sudan. He arrived in Arabia as a slave and was very pious, abstinent, and wise. The Arabs have preserved the words of wisdom of this intelligent man as Sahifa Luqmaan. His wise words are also quoted in the Quraan in Surah Luqmaan. The Quraan quotes the following words that were his parting advices to his son, ““O my beloved son! Do not ascribe partners to Allaah. Without doubt, Shirk is the worst injustice”. [Surah Luqmaan, verse 13] He also said, “O my beloved son! Establish Salaah, instruct (others to do) good, forbid (them from) evil and patiently endure whatever (difficulty) afflicts you. Verily, this (ability to bear difficulties with patience) is from among the most resolute of matters (demanding the most courage and determination).” Do not (out of pride) turn your face away from people (refusing to listen to them) and do not walk arrogantly on earth. Verily Allaah detests every arrogant boaster”. Surah Luqmaan, verse 17-18]
