Allah Knows What is Good for You

A translation from this video





By Imam Muhammad Mutawali ash-Sha'rawi, may Allah have mercy on him.

This clip is taken from the first five minutes of the Imam's tafseer of Surat al-Baqarah 2:186.

At the 0:57 mark, the imam is comparing this verse, which is a response to the Companions asking the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about Allah, with the verses that answer their questions about legal rulings. The latter verses always contain the word 'Say!', i.e. the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is commanded to tell them the answer, which creates s.ome distance between Allah and them. (Examples would include al-Baqarah 2:189 and al-Anfaal 8:1) In al-Baqarah 2:186, this is not the case.
