The Qur’ān is pointing out that only people of understanding grasp the difference between the devout and un-devout or knowledgeable and ignorant. Now grasping such a difference is actually grasping the differences in lives based on devoutness and knowledge on the one hand and un-devoutness and ignorance on the other. Such a grasp is not a matter of knowing some propositions but involves a comprehensive understanding of two different ways of life. That is why it is linked by the Qur’ān with understanding rather than with knowledge of an idea or proposition.

Finally, in verse 39:18, the Qur’ān links listening to speech and following its best meaning to people of understanding. The verse translates as follows:Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has guided, and those are people of understanding.
