اَلْاَ نْعَام

Al Anam

HR Background

وَ اِنْ تُطِعْ اَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ یُضِلُّوْكَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَخْرُصُوْنَ(116)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And ˹O listener,˺ if you obey many who reside in the earth, they will lead you astray from the path of Allah. [1] They only follow assumptions, and they are only speculating.

Commentary

[1]

This verse includes the scenario of the public being vigilant regarding those who adopt the Islamic garb shielding themselves with preaching while destroying the foundations of the religion; the endeavour of such people to assert their personal opinions against established matters of the religion while stating the lawful as unlawful and vice versa is futile. Following these deviants can be a cause of extreme misfortune in this world and the Hereafter.
