Why intelligence has no value to God: Story of Bilqis and Soloman

The gift of Bilqis to Soloman [Hazrat Sulyman] was forty mules loaded with bricks of gold.

When her envoy reached the open plain, belonging to Solomon, the envoy found that his carpet was entirely made of solid gold.

They rode on gold for the distance of forty stages of his journey, until sight of infinite gold has made them lose its value.

“Let us take the gold back to our treasury, this is a useless gift!

In lands where soil is pure gold, the gift of gold is foolish!”

If you bring intelligence to God as a gift, your intelligence is less valuable than the dust of the road!
