Allah Most High has commanded us to follow what has been sent down to us from our Lord and whatever guidance comes from Him. He has sent down to us the Book and wisdom, as He Most High said:

“Remember Allah’s favor upon you and what He has sent down to you of the Book and wisdom, by which He admonishes you.”

Wisdom is part of that guidance. Allah Most High said:

“If you obey him, you will be guided.”

The command to follow the Book and the Quran entails the command to follow the wisdom with which the Messenger was sent, and to follow and obey him without qualification.

Allah Most High also said:

“And remember what is recited in your homes of Allah’s verses and wisdom.”

Allah Most High also said:

“Our Lord, send among them a Messenger from among themselves who will recite Your verses to them, teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them.”

Allah Most High also said:

“Just as We have sent among you a Messenger from among yourselves, reciting Our verses to you, purifying you, teaching you the Book and wisdom, and teaching you what you did not know.”

Allah Most High also said:

“Allah has certainly bestowed a great favor upon the believers by sending among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting His verses to them, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although before that they were clearly astray.”

Allah Most High also said:

“It is He who sent among the unlettered a Messenger from among themselves, reciting His verses to them and purifying them
