جس کو چاہتا ہے حکمت عطا کرتا ہے، اور جس کو حکمت ملی، اُسے حقیقت میں بڑی دولت مل گئی اِن باتوں سے صرف وہی لوگ سبق لیتے ہیں، جو دانشمند ہیں

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(2:269) He bestows wisdom upon anyone He wills, and he who is given wisdom is in fact given great wealth, *309 but only those who have common sense learn lessons from these things.

He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given meaning

*309). 'Wisdom' signifies sound perception and sound judgement. The purpose of this statement is to point out that one who is possessed of wisdom will follow God's path rather than that of Satan. The followers of Satan believe that it is the height of wisdom and shrewdness to be constantly concerned with saving out of one's earnings, and to be perpetually on the look-out for higher income. But for those endowed with Divine perception such an attitude is sheer folly. True wisdom consists in using one's resource moderately to meet one's needs and in spending whatever is left for charitable purposes. It may be possible for a person who does not spend for charitable purposes to attain a much greater degree of worldy prosperity than others. The life of this world, however, is only a fraction of man's total life which is not limited to the confines of this world. One who risks the well-being of his eternal existence for the sake of highly transient well-beingin this world is indeed a fool. The truly wise person is he who makes full use of the tenure of this life and invests his resources in prosperity in this life that will never cease.
