What is the meaning of wisdom in the verse: “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom…”

The Shaykh : This wisdom is used to mean the Sunnah. Wisdom is used to mean the Sunnah. The Book is the Qur'an and wisdom is the Sunnah. It is also used to mean the good manner, and… the verse you mentioned, when a Muslim admonishes people, he admonishes them with the Book and the Sunnah… but he does not be harsh with them or hold a grudge against them; rather, he uses compassion, gentleness, and softness. This is a matter that is well known and there is no doubt about it, which is why the question is directed to it… Wisdom is meant to be the Sunnah, as we mentioned in the previous verse, and wisdom is meant to be the good manner. Thus, the methodology of da'wah is correct knowledge from the Book and the Sunnah, which is the wisdom.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
