﴿ وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ ﴾

“And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?”

And did He not find you needy and enrich you?He said:�He found your soul in bewilderment (ḥayrāna), craving (wāliha) for gnosis of Us, in need (faqīra) of it. Then [He] strengthened your spiritual self (nafs al-rūḥ) and enriched it with theQurʾān and wisdom (ḥikma).� Indeed, the Prophet said, �Richness (ghinā) is not having an abundance of possessions; richness is only a richness of the soul.�
