In this way, everything in creation has been created for its respective purpose. Everything has also been granted form best suited for its capability and were guided towards the means by which to use them.^[1]

Imam ShaꜤrānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه explaining this verse states:

This verse shows that whatever Allah has bestowed according to His supreme wisdom, is perfection for whoever it was granted to. He granted prophethood to the prophets; prophethood is perfection for them. He granted sainthood to saints; sainthood is perfection for them.

For example, if a nursery student is given 100% marks, which class will he enter? He will move to reception. Similarly, if a bachelor student is given 100%, what education level will he enter? He can begin a Masters. Both attained 100%, both were given 100%; but one enters reception and the other enrols on a Masters. It is because although both attained 100%, their capabilities are different. If the bachelor graduate entered reception and the child who passed through nursery started a Masters, they would both find themselves in a state of academic imbalance.

In this way, Allah granted everyone perfection in this world. The rich person has received 100%, and the poor person has also received 100%. However, the strengths and capabilities of each are different. If a poor person was given 150% and made wealthy, or the rich person was given 50% and made poor, they would both lose their equilibrium and become
