➋ { فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَآءَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ:} Therefore, you should follow Our prescribed way and obey the commands We have revealed, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know, that is, those who do not possess knowledge of divine revelation, or, despite having knowledge, do not act upon it, because they too are among those who do not know. By them are meant the People of the Book and the polytheists of Arabia. The emphasis on following only the commands revealed by Allah has been mentioned at numerous places in the Noble Qur’an; for details, see Surah Al-Ma’idah (48 to 50) and Surah Al-A’raf (3).

The Leadership of Establishing the Religion Transferred from the Children of Israel to the Ummah of Muhammad:
In this verse, "command" refers to the establishment of the religion. That is, O Prophet! Previously, for the guidance of the people of the world, We made the Children of Israel the standard-bearers of establishing the religion. They, however, split into many sects and began to quarrel and fight among themselves. In such a state, how could they fulfill the duty of establishing the religion? In fact, they were no longer worthy of it. Now, We have honored you with the position of leadership in establishing the religion. And the Shariah that is being given to you contains complete and clear instructions for establishing the religion. You should simply continue to act according to these commands and instructions. Every sect among the Children of Israel will expect you to support its position. Do not listen to any of them, because these people formed these sects not on the basis of knowledge, but due to following their own desires.
