The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: << وإذ ءاتينا موسى . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . >

The noble verse contains several benefits. First: that Musa was a prophet, indeed a messenger, because Allah gave him a Book, and whoever is given a Book is a messenger, as Allah the Exalted said: . Second: the praise of the Torah, where Allah the Exalted called it a Furqan (criterion). Third: the wisdom in giving the Book and the Furqan to Musa, which is guidance. Fourth: that knowledge is a cause of guidance, due to the reasoning in His saying: . But is the cause necessarily such that its effect must believe, or can there be a barrier? A barrier can exist. Therefore, if someone argues by saying, "We find scholars who were not guided," we say that this is due to the presence of a barrier. Otherwise, the original principle is that knowledge is a cause of guidance and that guidance occurs through knowledge, but there may be circumstances that prevent a person from benefiting from the knowledge that Allah the Exalted has given him, as is well known.
