Ali (RA) says in (Living and dying with Grace)
"Lay hold of wisdom wherever it is, for wisdom stammers in the heart of a hypocrite until it leaves and comes to rest by its like in the heart of a believer."
Wisdom is in addition to knowledge which by itself may not be enough and Allah SWT on more than one occasion in Qur'an-el-Hakim has emphasized for that reason what the prophet PBUH was sent for the humanity to teach them, like in Sura Jum'ah:
"It is He who has sent amongst the unlettered an apostle from among themselves to
rehearse to them His signs
to sanctify them
and to instruct them in scripture and WISDOM,
Although they had been before in manifest error." (Ayah 2)
The prophet PBUH therefore instructed them and us the Scripture and wisdom, how to apply in our daily life setting examples by his own person. If we fail to do that in that tradition we would be like the donkey on whose back is the load of books but he has no idea what knowledge or scripture is and how to apply (not use wisdom) and that also in Sura Jum'ah (aya 5)
" The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law (Tauraat) but who failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not). Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the signs of Allah: and Allah does not guide people who do wrong."
Have we understood and applied Qur'an as required by The Almighty?
That is what Iqbal said:
Tujhay kitab say mumkin nahin farahg keh too
kitab khwan hay magar saheb-kitab nahin
(Roughly; that you will not have done justice to the book, i.e. Qur'an because you only read it but do not understand it)
Saugoree means I was born or I hail from Saugor This is the way they spelt the name of that city of my birth during British days of India. Then I moved at 11 years of age to Kotla a village in the Panjab close to the Kashmir border where I finished my initial education and childhood going on to Lahore for further studies where I got BSc and MBBS and then left for NWFP where I spent 2 1/2 years, teaching in the new Medical School, and from there leaving for UK and then USA
