<p> Al-Hikmah is a divine prerogative. It is a gift from Allah granted to whomever He Wills from among His servants. Some define it as 'beneficial knowledge that corroborates with good righteous deeds'; others say it is 'doing an appropriate act at the most appropriate time and place'; and yet others deem it to be foresightedness, comprehension, felicitous conduct and good opinion. All of these definition are in fact befitting and apt. </p> <p> Allah, The Most High bestowed Luqman (upon him be peace) with much foresight, intelligence and profound judgement - injecting it deep into his heart whereby his words, deeds and manners were grounded in wisdom.<br />Allah Revealed: "And indeed we bestowed upon Luqman Al-Hikmah..." [Luqman (31): 12] </p> <p> The instructions and advices found in the story of Luqman Al-?akim comprise noble guidance and contain perfect conduct in inviting people towards Allah, and nurturing of children. It speaks of proper upbringing of a generation, describing ways to success and teaching people holistic goodness. Making it incumbent upon every mentor, father and teacher to pay attention to the prescriptions found therein; providing contemplation and deriving exemplary lesson plans in the field of propagating and education. </p> <p> These lessons can tangibly facilitate in drawing hearts and enriching minds. Consisting of elementary details that appeal to one?s good conscience; for indeed putting across Allah?s Message to mankind requires proper planning<br />and tact that is plentiful within the story.
