Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (If We had willed, We would have made it bitter)
Allah the Exalted said: [al-Waqi'ah: 70] Meaning: We would have made it salty and unpleasant in taste, so that it could not be drunk.And here He says: [al-Waqi'ah: 70] And He did not say: (If We had willed, We would have dried it up) or: (We would have prevented its descent) because their looking at the water with their own eyes, yet being unable to drink it, is a greater source of regret than if it did not exist at all. And Allah Mighty and Majestic intends to challenge them with what is the greatest thing in the regret of their souls: [al-Waqi'ah: 70] Meaning: So why do you not thank Allah Mighty and Majestic for descending it from the clouds, and for it being a pure, sweet drink, pleasant in taste and easy to digest.
