His occupation as a madrasah principal began with his inauguration as the principal of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 1 West Lampung on August 3, 2017. He ended his tenure as principal there in less than 2 years because in February 2019 he was again appointed principal of Madrasah Tsanawiyah 1 Way Kanan.

Since serving as the headmaster of MAN 1 Bandar Lampung, he has supplied some innovations such as providing the intensive classes with much better facilities that can make students more comfortable in undertaking learning activities, inviting guest teachers from the English Village of Pare (East Java) for 3 months to teach the students (the program has definitely inspired many students to learn English more deeply and passionately), and Madrasah Digital Center (MDC).

Lukman usually starts his day by waking up very early in the morning, even before dawn. He then does night prayers in a mosque near his house till the dawn prayer time comes. After praying he recites the Holly Qur’an and does dhikr. When breakfast time comes, he has breakfast with all family members. This is done to generate a warm atmosphere in the family. He then goes to office also early in the morning. People often see his car is already in the parking lot before others come to school. Apparently he does morning exercise by running around the large and quiet school area. He does it to maintain his health. He does his duty at or outside the school till very late in the afternoon or even evening.

The principle that Lukman always keeps in life is ‘My duty is my consecration to Allah’. This makes his life more meaningful because everything he does is worship-oriented to Him, even for the slightest matter.
