[137۔1] That is, avoid those things whose prohibition has been mentioned in the previous verses, such as wine, gambling, reverence for altars, and divining by arrows, and if this command is taken in a general sense, then it would mean to avoid all evil deeds or to keep avoiding disobedience to Allah and His Messenger.
[138] From this verse, it is understood that although the method of obeying Allah is also obtained through obedience to the Messenger of Allah, nevertheless, the obedience to the Messenger has its own independent status. In other words, it is obligatory to follow both the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger, and according to the Quran, there is no difference in the obligation to follow both. The purpose of mentioning this verse at this point is that if you are unable to comprehend the benefits and harms of something, then the best course for you is to keep obeying Allah and His Messenger.
