Question:
A questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:[Fatir 35:32] Did the scholars or the people of exegesis state that the "moderate" in the verse are the people of the elevated stations?
Answer:
No,[Fatir 35:32] this Ummah is the one intended by this; Allah gave this Ummah the Qur'an as an inheritance. Allah gave this Ummah the Qur'an, whereas the Jews and Christians had their books, the Torah and the Gospel. So Allah gave this Ummah the Qur'an, which is the book for everyone. It is not permissible for anyone on earth to follow anything other than the Qur'an, because the previous books were abrogated by the descent of the Noble Qur'an. Yes. May Allah reward you. And peace and blessings be upon him. And by Allah, if my brother Musa were alive, it would not be permissible for him to follow anything other than me. Yes.
A questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:
Then we caused to inherit the Book those We have chosen of Our servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself, and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of Allah
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِAnswer:
No,
Then we caused to inherit the Book those We have chosen of Our servants
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا
