    Knowledge/Wisdom is surely 'power".  Let me explain.

    Once a jinny was teasing Alladin. Alladin tried to divert his attention. He asked how come was it possible that you such a big jin was confined in such a small lamp. Jinny got irritated and insisted the he was imprisoned in the lamp.  "Ok let me see how was you entered in that lamp"  The jinny immediately turned into smoke and entered into the lamp.  Alladin corked the lamp without wasting time and said 'Now you live where you belong".

    See Wisdom is power.

    Thanks Zahra for your nice comment.

    It depends on how you define knowledge.

    If you define it as God defines and relates knowledge to Himself, then yes it is power, divine power.

    Dear Mishaikh, your discussion reminds me of the topic that we used to write about it when we were students; which one is better money or knowledge? I think that knowledge means knowing; on the other hand if you have no knowledge of something you are ignorant. I believe that knowledge makes us stronger and wiser. If we learn from our mistakes, If we gain the knowledge that we are supposed to get then we are unlikely to do the same mistake. So definitely knowledge is power.

    Love is power, money is power, knowledge is power, technology is power, authority is power, Faith is power ..etc. All have the ability, strength, and capacity to do something, to change something, to make you someone else, someone even you don't know, but wait !!!
    Maybe those powers are false, maybe not, I quote, George Bernard Shaw, saying "Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." .. So, Powers maybe positive or negative, depending on their resource, so the question is, what's the source of powerful knowledge ?!, Or what's the source of all these powers ?!. Personally, i think that language links them all at the very start, some needs action to be bonded later, but “Language is not just a regular part of the process of thinking, it's a way to get what we want without actions, it's the source of powers". 
    Excuse my humble perspective if it's wrong, and my English mistakes.

    Knowledge is Power!
