The Ayah: 'And recite (O Muhammad) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayat'

Q 5: What is the meaning of the Statement of Allah (the meanings of which are translated as): And recite (O Muhammad peace be upon him) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.), but he threw them away; so Shaitân (Satan) followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. ?

A: This Ayah (Qur'anic verse) describes a man from the Children of Israel whom Allah had taught the Tawrah (Torah), but he did not act according to it. This Ayah is also applicable to anyone who is given knowledge by Allah but does not act accordingly.
