Wisdom is a kindness from Allah

Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
 
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُوَفَضْلًا وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ 268  

يُؤْتِى ٱلْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ وَمَن يُؤْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِىَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 269
 
 
268.  The devil promiseth you destitution and enjoineth on you lewdness. And Allah promiseth you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. And Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

269.  He giveth wisdom unto whom He will, and he unto whom wisdom is given, he truly hath received abundant good. And none remember except men of understanding.
268.  ‘Ash-Shay-taanu  ya- ‘idu- kumul-faqra  wa  ya’-murukum- bil-fahshaaa’.  WAllaahu  ya-‘idukum-magfiratam-minHu  wa  fazlaa.  WAllaahu  Waasi- ‘un  ‘Aliim.

269.  Yu’-til-Hikmata  many-yashaaa’.  Wa  many-yu’-tal-Hikmata  faqad  ‘uutiya  khayran-  kasiira.  Wa maa  yaz-zakkaru  ‘illaaa  ‘ulul-‘albaab.
   
Commentary

 ‘Al-Hikmata – (wisdom), ‘al-Hikmata means sagacity, understanding, comprehension, knowledge and sense. Due to these meanings, philosophy and science come for ‘al-Hikmata also. Therefore, the word Hakiim means Philosopher. This word has been used in the Holy Qur’an at various places.

khayran-  kasiira – (abundant good, very much goodness, betterment, benefit and virtue), in this verse, earning and spending the wealth in a correct manner, and acquiring wisdom in this regard is called ‘abundant goodness.

This verse of Holy Qur’an informs the humankind about a devilish temptation, which can become cause of prevention from spending in the Way of Allah Almighty (‘an-faaq fii Sabiil-Lillaah). In addition, it also describes its refutation and remedy. 

Love with wealth and property, inclination towards its collection and tendency towards its spending in a safe mode are weaknesses of the human being. Therefore, he can think that the entire wealth would finish due to spending for the Cause of Allah Almighty; nothing would remain saved with him. He would become poor. God Almighty commanded to ignore these kinds of thoughts and temptations that this teaching belongs to Satan (the Devil), so you should not make room for him in your heart.

Allah Almighty, the eternally Besought of all, is Most Compassionate and Bountiful. Whatever you have, He has given that entire and He will give more in future too. Therefore, you should not fear from poorness and hesitate from spending in His Way. Being pleased, He will give you more and more.

God Almighty gives power to understand these kinds of matters and to find the underlying causes of the matters, to whom He desires. The person, who has been bestowed with this wisdom, he is very fortunate, because it is His very great blessing and wealth.
