The Wise Qur’an
وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ ٢
By the wise Qur’an.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
By the Qur’an, full of wisdom.
Insight
Elmalılı gives three meanings of “hakim”: wise, speaking wisdom, and firmly established. For him, all of them are true of the Qur’an.
Reflect
Today, read one verse of the Qur’an looking for the wisdom in it.
