Surah Al Ma'idah Tafseer

Allah says to His Messenger,

قُل

Say, (O Muhammad),

لااَّ يَسْتَوِي الْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ

Not equal are the bad things and the good things, even though they may please you, (O human),

كَثْرَةُ الْخَبِيثِ

the abundance of bad.

This Ayah means, the little permissible is better than the abundant evil.

فَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ يَا أُوْلِي الَالْبَابِ

have Taqwa of Allah, O men of understanding...,

who have sound minds, avoid and abandon the impermissible, and let the permissible be sufficient for you.

لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

in order that you may be successful.

in this life and the Hereafter.

Unnecessary Questioning is Disapproved of
