ABU DHABI // Those with intelligence understand Allah’s messages and his verses, Muslims will be told on Friday.
“Allah has granted humans with many blessings … and the most honourable of them is that of the brain,” says today’s sermon.
A verse from the Quran says: “And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that happily ye might give thanks.”
The Quran also says that those who think about Allah’s signs and creations and sense his greatness will therefore do good.
“Allah has mentioned those with brains in many areas in the Quran, pointing out that they understand the contents of these verses with their brains … they treat others with what Allah has ordered them,” continues the sermon.
With their clear minds, they worship Allah rightfully by following His orders and fearing His anger.
“They prevent themselves from what Allah has prohibited … because they sense the drastic consequences of such actions.”
Another verse from the Quran says: “He gives wisdom unto whom He will, and he unto whom wisdom is given, he truly hath received abundant good. But none remember except men of understanding.”

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
