WHAT WISDOM BRINGS

                                                         WITH IT






               The wise are defined in the Qur’an as: "Those who listen
            well to My precepts and follow the best in them are the ones
            whom Allah has guided. They are the people of understand-
            ing". (Surat az-Zumar: 18) Allah had rewarded these people
            with wisdom because, they unfailingly follow the path Allah
            has shown them, they carry out the advice of the Qur'an meticu-
            lously, and they clearly abide by their conscience.
               Wisdom is a very important factor that opens the doors to
            many other beneficial qualities. A wise person displays his
            uniqueness in every situation, by his actions, and the things he
            says, and he elicits great respect and admiration from those
            around him. Wisdom is such an important quality, that it goes
            on making one more and more superior right to the end of one’s
            life.
               The pages to follow will be a reminder of what a blessing
            wisdom is by touching on some examples of the superiority
            conferred by wisdom.


               GOOD MANNERS
               Foremost among the qualities people of wisdom acquire is
            the morality of the Qur’an, which opens the paths to many
            beauties in this world and the Hereafter. The wise man is one
            who meticulously practices the morals Allah lays down in the
            Qur’an. The Qur’an recommends such moral qualities as hon-
            esty, genuineness, sincerity, modesty, peacefulness, compassion,
