Just as people, animals, and livestock are of various colours. From His people, only the learned ˹are truly˺ in awe of Allah. [1] Indeed Allah is Most-Exalted, Most-Forgiving.

Commentary

[1]

The “learned” refers to those who have knowledge of Islam, possess sound beliefs and perform good actions. Here, their greatness is described in terms of their mindfulness of Allah Almighty. Hence, the scholars should ensure that they fear Allah Almighty more than the common folk and that they encourage others to fear Allah Almighty too. Sayyidunā ʿAlī رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states: “A jurist (faqīh), in the truest sense, is someone who does not make people lose hope in the mercy of Allah; he does not encourage people to disobey Allah Almighty; he does not make them fearless of His punishment; and nothing can draw his attention except the Quran.” (Tafsīr Al-Qurṭubi, Fāṭir, under the verse 28, vol. 7, p. 250)
