Question:
This person is also asking about the saying of Allah the Exalted[An-Nahl 16:94] How does the foot slip? And what is the wisdom behind that?
Answer:
Yes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says[An-Nahl 16:94] foot, meaning which foot? After it has been firm. This contains a warning against apostasy from Islam, apostasy from the truth after knowing it. It is obligatory to be patient with it and adhere to it. Whoever deviates from this, his foot will slip into the lowest depths, then into the Fire, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
