Gift of Knowledge

Excerpt:

The glorious way in which the rank of the intellect is praised in the wise Qur’ān is in two ways. In one, the word intellect is used [directly] and in the other, the word itself is not used, but it is praised indirectly through its synonyms – this explanation is infinite. In both these ways, directly as well as indirectly, the perfect Intellect is alluded to. Thus, in the entire Qur’ān the mention of the light of intellect comprises [everything] because the Qur’ān is like a wise Perfect Man whose soul encompasses the body and whose intellect encompasses the soul. Thus, there are more meanings of the Wise Qur’ān than its words, more intellectual wisdoms than its meanings.
