The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "That is because those who disbelieved followed falsehood, while those who believed followed the truth from their Lord."

The Shaykh : And the second verse after this, , this verse explains the reason for what came before it. So whoever follows falsehood, may Allah protect us from it, will experience misguidance to the extent of the falsehood he follows. So whoever disobeys Allah has followed falsehood; his faith is diminished to the extent of his disobedience, and his guidance is diminished to the extent of his disobedience. For if following the truth is a cause for good, then following falsehood is a cause for evil. That is, like this clarification and explanation, Allah strikes examples for the people.
