Explanatory translation
38Or do you pick out, from the rulings you read, those that suit your interests? Is there a verse written in it that says, “You have been given the right to fulfill your every desire in this world; you will be given whatever you want, as you please”? No! Everything in your hands is Ours, and it stays with you as a trust. You cannot use it however you like. Do not forget that rulings made according to your interests have no value in the sight of Allah.
