In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Luqman was a Siddiq (truthful believer) with strong faith, not a prophet. Unlike regular believers, Siddiqs don’t require a prophet’s message to confirm their faith. He also mentions Hazrat Waraqah bin Nawfal, a Christian scholar, as the first to affirm Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s prophethood. Waraqah recognized the angel Jibreel and foretold the opposition the Prophet would face from his people.
