Ma`rifat Adyan

There are various debates regarding the real identity of Luqman throughout history, including the connection between Luqman and his wisdoms (hikmah) with the Jews and Christians and their teachings. There are some examples of wisdom directly stated in Surah Luqman; and in the Jewish tradition, the book of Parables is a symbol of wisdom in the Old Testament. According to the Jews, Solomon and according to the Muslims, Luqman are the two prominent wise and pious figures. There are significant interpretative and historical reports regarding the abundance of Luqman's wisdoms in the customs and manners and culture of the Jews and Christians, each of which can be separately studied. Trying to reach to the common teachings of Abrahamic religions, this research aims to investigate the common themes in some parts of the two Divine books, i.e. Surah "Luqman" in the Qur'an and the book of "Parables" in the Torah, considering the two Islamic and Jewish traditions as much as possible. The method of collecting materials is a library method and the processing method used is comparative. Based on the comparative studies conducted in this article, the two books have thematic similarities, and are aligned in their knowledge of God, teleology and wisdom, and surprisingly, there are many similarities in their sentences and expressions. These thematic similarities can somehow confirm some possibilities regarding Luqman's real identity from the textual aspect and not the rejali aspect.
