Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:
Hazrat Luqmaan (‘alaihis salaam) is the only non-nabi whose advice is mentioned in the Quraan. He comes from an Abyssinian background. In the sight of Allah Ta‘ala lineage, looks, facial features and social standings have no significance. What Allah Ta‘ala looks at is the deeds and the condition of the heart.
