About Luqman
Luqman was a legendary sage and hero in pre-Islamic Arab tradition. The 31st surah (chapter) of the Qur'an, Luqman, is named after him and depicts him as a monotheist and a father giving pious advice to his son. Subsequently, a large number of proverbs were attributed to Luqman, and at some point in the medieval era he was identified as a writer of fables. Many fables and biographical details which in Europe were connected with Aesop were transferred to Luqman. There are many stories about Luqman in Persian, Arabic and Turkish literature.
