Surah 25. Al-Furqan, Ayah 59

See note [43] on the first sentence of 7:54 .

I.e., "ask God Himself": since He alone holds the keys to the mysteries of the universe, it is only by observing His creation and listening to His revealed messages that man can obtain a glimpse, however distant, of God's Own reality.

 See footnote for 7:54.

Cf. vii. 54 and n. 1031.

See n. 1386 to x. 3.

The argument is about the question, in whom shall we put our trust? Worldly men put their trust in wordly things: the righteous man only in Allah. The true distinction will be quite clear from a ray of divine knowledge. If you do not see it all clearly, ask of those who possess such knowledge.
