Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:269] Is it acquired, or is it a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) and a gift? And how do we obtain it in our dealings with people and with those who commit what is wrong?
Answer:
The wisdom granted to whom He wills is like His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever Allah wills good for, He grants him understanding of the religion." So the wisdom meant here is fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), understanding the religion of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
