Summary
Linguistically, luka' means a despicable person or a small child. In Arab usage it refers to a slave or servant, and the word came to denote foolishness and lowliness. When applied to an adult, it means a person with little knowledge and little intellect. The hadith describes the end of times, when worldly affairs are entrusted to base and foolish people who are given luxury and power until they feel they are the happiest people in the world.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Luka' menurut bangsa Arab ialah budak atau hamba, kemudian perkataan ini digunakan untuk menunjukkan kebodohan dan kehinaan, iaitu orang yang hina dan tercela.
