Question:
The questioner asks: What is the intended meaning of Allah’s saying:[Ad-Duhaa 93:7]?
Answer:
That is, before the Message, peace and blessings be upon him, before the Message, he was worshipping Allah according to the religion of Ibrahim, the pure monotheism. But as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Ash-Shuraa 42:52], he was unlettered, unable to read or write, but in his heart was faith and righteous deeds. However, the details of the Shari'ah and the details of the rulings were not revealed to him except in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Yes. May Allah reward you. The intended meaning of “lost” is disbelief; the intended meaning is that he did not know the truth, he did not know it in detail, he did not know it in detail. Yes.
