Knowledge of the book

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing two ayahs that inspired me today.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

 Allah SWT says:

قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ مَّقَامِكَ  ۖ  وَإِنِّى عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِىٌّ أَمِينٌ
"A powerful one from among the jinn said, I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."
(QS. An-Naml 27: Verse 39)

 Allah SWT says:

قَالَ الَّذِى عِنْدَهُ ۥ  عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ  ۚ  فَلَمَّا رَءَاهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهُ ۥ  قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّى لِيَبْلُوَنِىٓ ءَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ  ۖ  وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦ  ۖ  وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّى غَنِىٌّ كَرِيمٌ
"Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you. And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."
(QS. An-Naml 27: Verse 40)

First ayah mentions that a powerful jinn mentioned about his strength to do the task of bringing the throne.

Second ayah mentions about the knowledge of the book that other jinn had who offered to bring the throne even more quickly.

I am amazed by the fact that knowledge of the book played a bigger role in achieving tasks in more proficient way as compared to being strong. SubhanAllah.

I ask Allah to give us strength as well. But I ask Allah to give us the knowledge of the book so that we apply it in best possible manner.

Oh Allah give us beneficial knowledge. Ameen.
