He gives wisdom to whoever He wills and he who has been given
            wisdom has been given great good. But no one pays heed but
            people of intelligence. (Qur'an, 2:269)
            We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive
            speech. (Qur'an, 38:20)

            HE IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
            THE QUR'AN PERFECTLY
            Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, a group of
            them would almost have managed to mislead you. But they
            mislead no one but themselves and do not harm you in any way.
            Allah has sent down the Book and Wisdom to you and taught you
            what you did not know before. Allah's favour to you is indeed
            immense. (Qur'an, 4:113)
            We have sent down the Book to you with the truth so that you can
            judge between people according to what Allah has shown to you.
            But do not be an advocate for the treacherous. (Qur'an, 4:105)
            Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not
            follow their whims and desires. And beware of them lest they lure
            you away from some of what Allah has sent down to you. If they
            turn their backs, then know that Allah wants to afflict them with
            some of their wrong actions. Many of mankind are deviators.
            (Qur'an, 5:49)


            ALLAH HAS FAVOURED HIM
            WITH SUPERIORITY IN TERMS
            OF PROPERTY AND EMINENCE
            They will ask you about Dhu'l-Qarnayn. Say: 'I will tell you
            something about him.' We gave him power and authority on the
            earth and granted him a way to everything. (Qur'an, 18:83-84)
