Knowledge in all its forms is rooted in intellect. It is the source and nucleus from which knowledge and faith springs. Intellect produces a sharp understanding, clear perception, precise observation, sound opinion, awareness of what is best for one's self, striving in self-denial, judgment, management, the attainment of virtues and avoidance of vices.In previous sections we have drawn the reader's attention to indications of the Prophet's intellect and the tremendous depth of his knowledge, knowledge of which no other human being had, has or will ever possess and those who have taken the time to investigate his characteristics recognize and verify that the majesty of his rank is perfected.
Reflect upon his life, the wisdom of his sayings, his knowledge of the contents of not only the Torah but also the lost Gospel given to Prophet Jesus, the revealed Books, the wisdom of the sages, truth between falsehood, the history of bygone nations and their battles, his use of colloquialism, the division of inheritance,lineage, and their like which, if Allah wills, be made clear in the section illustrating his miracles. It is an established fact that our Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, could neither read nor write and it wasn't until Allah expanded his chest, clarified his affair, taught him and enabled him recite the Holy Koran, that he knew anything of these matters. These virtuous intellectual qualities were neither attained through tutored learning, instruction, or the reading of previous Holy Books.
His intellect caused him to be steadfast in the matters Allah taught him, and he became knowledgeable of not only past, but present and future events, and he became engrossed in the wonderment of the power of Allah and the enormity of His Angelic Hosts.
Allah says, "Allah has sent down to you the Book and the Wisdom and He has taught you what you did not know. The Bounty of Allah to you is ever great." 4:113.
When intellectuals attempt to assess the overflowing favors of Allah to him they fall into the state of bewilderment.
