وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلاَّ ظَنّاً إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لاَ يُغْنِي مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْئاً إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ 

 

wamā yattabiʿu aktharuhum illā ẓannan inna l-ẓana lā yugh`nī mina l-ḥaqi shayan inna l-laha ʿalīmun bimā yafʿalūna

 

The Aya says:

And the majority of them do not follow but speculation.  Indeed speculation does not prevail over fact.  Indeed Allah is well aware of what they do.

 

My personal note:

The Aya compares two important things.  They are at the core of human error and confusion.  It is the issue of THANN which is defined as conclusions that are not one hundred percent proven therefore covers speculation/ theory and so on.  It contrasts it with HAQQ which is defined as truth and binding truth and so on.  So, one can say HAQQ is fact while THANN is speculation.  The Aya is not against speculation per se.  Because we have to speculate often and that is the basis of our human development and progress.  The Aya however points out that if speculation is clashing with fact then Fact prevails and that is what science says.  This kind of statement is repeated often in the Quran.

The Aya talks to our logic.  It challenges the people that if you prefer to follow the one that benefits you most, then how come you end up worshipping the one that lacks those capabilities.  It makes for poor reasoning.  The Aya and others like it talk to our minds and reasoning and establishes that correct reasoning has to agree with correct transmission and understanding of revelation.

The Aya says:

As such, the statement of your nurturing Lord became binding upon those who drifted away.  That they do not attain faith.

 

My personal note:

The Aya is clear about the consequence for those who drift from the path of Allah and chose another path that they may not attain faith.  So, the Aya in a sense tells us to pay attention and not to willingly ignore the truth that is staring us in the face.  The moment that we start moving back to the path then the possibility of attaining faith increases.

kadhālika: As such

ḥaqqat: became binding

So, it is used for someone leaving the path or someone harming the safety of it. This is then understood as when one is out of the right place for them. In the Qur’an, it is used to mean being outside of God’s way.  FASAQOO is an action that is competed.  It means the connection or road were left by the subject (third person plural).
