Surah 21, Al-Anbiya, The Prophet. Verses 8-9



****Surah 21, Al-Anbiya, The Prophet. Verses 8-9****
Nor did We fashion them as bodies that did not eat,(1) neither were they immortal.
Then We made true the promise to them and rescued them and those We wished, and destroyed the transgressors.
Commentary
(1) "We did not fashion them as bodies that did not eat,” is that abstaining from food is not a sign of sainthood as imagined by most of the unknowledgeable people, and some of the knowledgeable ones too.
