All of these definition are in fact befitting and apt.Allah; The Most High bestowed Luqman (upon him be peace) with muchforesight; intelligence and profound judgement - injecting it deep into hisheart whereby his words; deeds and manners were grounded in wisdom.Allah Revealed: 'And indeed we bestowed upon Luqman Al-Hikmah...'
