1. SUBMISSION OF INTELLECT
I noticed that the human mind seeks to know all of Allah’s wisdom. In many cases however, the intellect of a person might not understand some of this wisdom, such as why Allah demolishes what He builds, so he remains wondering!
The devil might even take advantage of this opportunity (fursa) and whisper (wawasa) to him, ‘Where is the wisdom (hikmah) behind this?’
I say to this poor person to beware from being fooled! It has been demonstrated to you with no doubt the wisdom of the Maker through the perfection of all that He made.
That being the case, if some wisdom is not clear to you, then it is because of your lack of understanding.
It is the norm that kings always maintain secrets; so O weak man, who do you think yourself to be to know all of Wisdom of the Most Wise?
It suffices you to be aware of the generality of His Wisdom and not all the details!
Beware from delving into what is beyond your intellect and capacities for you are just one atom from His creation, so how is it you may judge the One who created you!
His Wisdom has been established for you through His ruling and ownership; so utilise your intellect to view what is within your capacity and you will be amazed!
Look away from that which is hidden from you because a person whose sight is weak ought not to look straight into the sun.
