In the Name of Allah, the
Gracious, the Merciful
269. Yu/tee alhikmata man yashao waman yu/ta
alhikmata faqad ootiya khayran katheeran wama yaththakkaru
illa oloo al-albabi
269. He grants
wisdom to whom He pleases; and whoever is granted wisdom, is indeed given a
great wealth. And none remember it except those endowed with insight.506
506. A wise man has a long-pterm and wide-ranging
perspective. A fool, on the other hand, looks only to immediate and visible
gains. The latter is easily enticed by the glamour of this world that
inevitably lands him into trouble. But the wise man does not get ensnared in
the pomp and glitter of worldly life. He ponders over his real Creator, and
over the purpose for which he is created by that Creator. He understands that
this worldly life is not the be-all and end-all of his existence. His deeds are
influenced and conditioned by that wider perspective, and make him eligible for
the ultimate success, here and in the Hereafter.
