Wisdom and Decisive Speaking are Blessings
from God
Wisdom and decisive speech are blessings from God as related in the Qur'anic
verses below:
He gives wisdom to whomsoever He wills and he who
has been given wisdom has been given a great good. But no one pays heed
but people of intelligence. (Surat al-Baqara: 269)
We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom
and decisive speech. (Surah Sād: 20)
Great gifts are the wisdom and impressiveness in speech. A subject can
be explained by various people with different styles. Yet, the most impressive
style is a wise and decisive one. Such an explanation makes one focus
attention, awakes him from heedlessness, encourages a reflection on things
already known but often forgotten. A person of decisive speaking skills
does not make unnecessarily long speeches, but expresses thoughts and
views in the briefest, most concise, yet in the most comprehensible and
impressive way possible. Explanations by a wise man on a subject are limited
to a few sincere sentences, and thus makes a stronger impact on others.
One thing deserves mention here - decisive speaking is not a faculty that
can be learned. It has no rules or intricate points. It demands only sincerity
and prayers for the blessings of God. God, in the course of one's speech,
inspires this wisdom to whomsoever He wills.
The grand masterpiece of wisdom and impressive talking is surely the
Qur'an, which is the direct words of God. This wisdom is peculiar to all
the books revealed by God to mankind. This is related in the verses below
as follows:
News has come to them, containing a rebuke: consummate wisdom - but warnings
are profitless. (Surat al-Qamar: 4-5)
