Surah Al-Baqara

Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,﴿26

Simplified Tafsir

إن الله تعالى لا يستحيي من الحق أن يذكر شيئًا ما، قلَّ أو كثر، ولو كان تمثيلا بأصغر شيء، كالبعوضة والذباب ونحو ذلك، مما ضربه الله مثلا لِعَجْز كل ما يُعْبَد من دون الله. فأما المؤمنون فيعلمون حكمة الله في التمثيل بالصغير والكبير من خلقه، وأما الكفار فَيَسْخرون ويقولون: ما مراد الله مِن ضَرْب المثل بهذه الحشرات الحقيرة؟ ويجيبهم الله بأن المراد هو الاختبار، وتمييز المؤمن من الكافر؛ لذلك يصرف الله بهذا المثل ناسًا كثيرين عن الحق لسخريتهم منه، ويوفق به غيرهم إلى مزيد من الإيمان والهداية. والله تعالى لا يظلم أحدًا؛ لأنه لا يَصْرِف عن الحق إلا الخارجين عن طاعته.
