Sura 35
Aya 28
28
وَمِنَ النّاسِ وَالدَّوابِّ وَالأَنعامِ مُختَلِفٌ أَلوانُهُ كَذٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّما يَخشَى اللَّهَ مِن عِبادِهِ العُلَماءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ غَفورٌ

Ali Unal

And likewise human beings, and beasts, and cattle, diverse are their colors. Of all His servants, only those possessed of true knowledge stand in awe of God.1 Surely God is All-Glorious with irresistible might, All-Forgiving.
  • That is, only those who are unbiased and unprejudiced can have true knowledge or the knowledge of the truth. The sign of one having such knowledge is sincere faith in, and awe of, God. Such people can truly and deeply understand what all such phenomena in creation really mean and cannot help but feel deep respect for God, and the need and desire to worship Him.
