Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was Luqman a prophet or a righteous man?
Answer:
He was a righteous servant and not a prophet; a righteous servant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Have you not heard the words of the righteous servant”[Luqman 31:13] So he is a righteous servant. Yes. Allah granted him wisdom. And indeed, We gave Luqman wisdom. Wisdom is ruling in the religion of Allah the Exalted, and the term wisdom is also used for placing things in their proper places. Yes.
