Those who do not wish to understand things and are not motivated by the urge to seek the truth become enmeshed in superficial questions relating to the Book of God, draw altogether erroneous conclusions when they encounter references to apparently insignificant things such as gnats, and are thereby thrown further and further away from the Truth | Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in life of this world i |

Such is the case with the hypocrite and the disbeliever who lose their share of the mercy that Allah has in store for His servants on the Day of Resurrection |
Opponents objected to this on the grounds that such objects were too lowly to find a place in the Book of God.
11Melayu - Basmeih : Sesungguhnya Allah tidak malu membuat perbandingan apa sahaja seperti nyamuk hingga ke suatu yang lebih daripadanya kerana perbuatan itu ada hikmatnya iaitu kalau orangorang yang beriman maka mereka akan mengetahui bahawa perbandingan itu benar dari Tuhan mereka; dan kalau orangorang kafir pula maka mereka akan berkata "Apakah maksud Allah membuat perbandingan dengan ini" Jawabnya Tuhan akan menjadikan banyak orang sesat dengan sebab perbandingan itu dan akan menjadikan banyak orang mendapat petunjuk dengan sebabnya; dan Tuhan tidak akan menjadikan sesat dengan sebab perbandingan itu melainkan orangorang yang fasik;• they sever the bond of kinship and are not good to their relatives , and work mischief in the land, on them is the curse i | But He does not let anyone go astray thereby except those who are sinful |

Ignoring this covenant constitutes breaking it | English - Sahih International : 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• It was said that the Ayah 2:27 is about the disbelievers and the hypocrites among the People of the Book |
And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree uprooted from the surface of earth, having no stability.
9Opponents objected to this on the grounds that such objects were too lowly to find a place in the Book of God | they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship , and fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning |

Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish to teach by such a similitude? Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a gnat | Allah is not ashamed to propound the parable of a gnat, or even of something more lowly |
Allah is not ashamed to propound the parable of a gnat, or even of something more lowly.
