Luqman a wise man mentioned in the Qur'an
1961 4 Iż-Żarbun tal-Ważir Bonaventura, P. Loqman, malli wasal quddiem is-sultan, sellimlu. Is-sultan qegħdu bil-qegħda ħdejh u qallu: “Ara, jien smajt bik u bil-għerf u t-tieba tiegħek, għalhekk sa naħtarek, minn issa, bħala ważir tiegħi, u nagħtik is-setgħa fuq l-artijiet tiegħi kollha. When Loqman arrived before the sultan, he greeted him. The sultan placed Loqman near him and told him: “Look, I have heard of you and of your knowledge and virtue, that's why I will choose you to be my minister from now on, and I will give you authority over all my lands.
