The Meaning of Allah’s Saying: “And fear Allah, and Allah will teach you”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah protect you, what is the meaning of the saying of the Exalted:
And fear Allah. And Allah teaches youوَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:282]
And is this valid as evidence for some groups, such as the Tabligh group, who go out calling people to Allah without knowledge, citing this verse?

Answer:
This verse applies to them because it says “fear Allah,” and fearing Allah includes learning knowledge, not speaking without knowledge, not attributing to Allah what is not known, and not calling people to religious innovations (bid'ah) and newly invented matters. This is what it means to fear Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. Yes.
