Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And it is not for a believer"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Shami, a Sudanese resident of Riyadh, says: I read the noble verse and I want you to provide its exegesis, may you be rewarded. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.[Al-Ahzab 33:36]. Yes.
Answer:
The verse is clear in that whoever is informed of the command of Allah or the command of His Messenger must obey it and hasten to obey it. This indicates that the default ruling for a command is obligation. It is not permissible for him to disobey while he is able to act upon the command. The saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Ahzab 33:36] indicates two things. The first command is the obligation to hasten to obey the command of Allah and His Messenger as much as a person is able. The second command is a principle of jurisprudence: a command implies obligation, which is the default, unless evidence indicates that it implies recommendation.

It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًاAnswer:
