[69] What Kind of Example is Valid? This verse also has two meanings: one is that the events of the nations of the world are narrated so that people may know what the outcome is for those who deny the prophets and disobey Allah. And how Allah creates various means to deliver His obedient servants from the wrongdoers. The second meaning is that one of the objections of the disbelievers of Makkah was that Allah is far above mentioning examples of insignificant creatures like flies, mosquitoes, and spiders. Such objections can only be made by ignorant people, not by people of knowledge. People of knowledge only look at whether the resemblance stated between the thing being compared and the thing it is compared to is correct. If it is correct, then the example is also correct; they do not consider whether the one giving the example is a great being or a small one.
