What is the meaning of wisdom in the verse: “Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The term wisdom is used to mean the Sunnah. Wisdom is used to mean the Sunnah: [Ali 'Imran 3:48]. The Book is the Qur'an, and wisdom is the Sunnah. It is also used to mean a good manner, and this is what is intended in the verse you mentioned: [An-Nahl 16:125]. When a Muslim admonishes people, he admonishes them with the Book and the Sunnah... with good admonition. But he does not be harsh with them or hold a grudge against them; rather, he uses compassion, gentleness, and softness. This is a well-known matter and not a point of doubt, so it is not the subject of the question. In fact, I... Wisdom is used to mean the Sunnah, as we mentioned in the previous verse, and it is used to mean a good manner. Accordingly, the methodology of da'wah is: correct knowledge from the Book and the Sunnah, and a good manner.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
And He will teach him writing and wisdom
وَيُعَلِّمُهُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَInvite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction
ادْعُ إِلَى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِThe questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
