god does not disdain to give a parable about a gnat or a smaller creature. the faithful know that it is the truth from their lord but those who deny the truth ask what could god mean by this parable? he lets many go astray through it and guides many by it. but he makes only the disobedient go astray those who break gods covenant after they have pledged to keep it and sever whatever god has ordered to be joined and spread corruption in the land it is they who are the losers.
إن الله لا يستحيي أن يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها فأما الذين آمنوا فيعلمون أنه الحق من ربهم وأما الذين كفروا فيقولون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثلا يضل به كثيرا ويهدي به كثيرا وما يضل به إلا الفاسقين الذين ينقضون عهد الله من بعد ميثاقه ويقطعون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويفسدون في الأرض أولئك هم الخاسرون
