who was one of the men of the tribe of Bani Salim: Allah's Apostle came to me and said, "If anybody comes on the Day of
Resurrection who has said: La ilaha illal-lah, sincerely, with the intention to win Allah's Pleasure, Allah will make the Hell-Fire
forbidden for him."
WING:
15:88 - Strain not thine eyes (wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them nor
grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the Believers. 200920102011
2009 It may be that other people have worldly goods which worldly men envy. Do they necessarily bring happiness? Even
the temporary pleasure that they may give is not unmixed with spiritual poisons, and even so, will not last. The man of
God looks with wistful eyes at other things,-the favour and countenance of Allah. (15.88)
2010 The Prophet of Allah, in his human love and sympathy, may grieve over certain classes of people who are puffed up
with false notions and callous to the Message of Allah. But he should not make himself unhappy. There is no flaw in
Allah's Plan, and it must prevail. This was addressed in the first instance to Al-Mustafa, but in a minor degree, it
applies to all righteous men. (15.88)
2011 The metaphor is from a bird who lowers her wing in tender solicitude for her little ones. Cf. xvii. 24, where it is applied
to "lowering the wing" to aged parents. (15.88)
17:24 - And out of kindness lower to them the wing of humility and say: "My Lord! bestow on them
Thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." 22052206
2205 Cf. xv. 88 and n. 2011. The metaphor is that of a high-flying bird which lowers her wing out of tenderness to her
offspring. There is a double aptness. (1) When the parent was strong and the child was helpless, parental affection
was showered on the child: when the child grows up and is strong, and the parent is helpless, can he do less than
bestow similar tender care on the parent? (2) But more: he must approach the matter with gentle humility: for does not
parental love, remind him of the great love with which Allah cherishes His creatures? There is something here more
than simple human gratitude; it goes up into the highest spiritual region. (17.24)
2206 Note that we are asked to honour our father and mother, not "that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord
thy God giveth thee" (Exod. xx. 12), but upon much higher and more universal grounds, such as befit a perfected
revelation. In the first place, not merely respect, but cherishing kindness, and humility to parents, are commanded. In
the second place, this command is bracketed with the command to worship the One True God. Parental love should
be to us a type of divine love: nothing that we can do can ever really compensate for that which we have received. In
the third place (see next verse) our spiritual advancement is tested by this: we cannot expect Allah's forgiveness if we
are rude or unkind to those who unselfishly brought us up. (17.24)
26:215 - And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee. 3233
3233 That is, be kind, gentle, and considerate with them, as a high flying bird is when she lowers
her wing to her offspring. Cf. xvii. 24 and n. 2205, and xv. 88 and n. 201 1. (26.215)
WISDOM:
2:32 - They said: "Glory to Thee of knowledge we have none save that Thou hast taught us: in truth
it is Thou who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom."
2:231 - When ye divorce women and they fulfil the term of their (`Iddat) either take them back on
equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them
or to take undue advantage; if anyone does that He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat Allah's
Signs as a jest but solemnly rehearse Allah's favors on you and the fact that He sent down to
you the Book and Wisdom for your instruction. And fear Allah and know that Allah is well
acquainted with all things. 261262263264
2:269 - He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth
indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the message but men of understanding.
3:58 - "This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."
3:164 - Allah did confer a great favor on the believers when He sent among them an Apostle from
among themselves rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah sanctifying them and instructing
them in Scripture and Wisdom while before that they had been in manifest error. 473
4:113 - But for the Grace of Allah to thee and His Mercy a party of them would certainly have
plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only lead their own souls astray and to thee
