وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلَّا ظَنًّا إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ 36

36. And most of them follow not but
conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of Truth. Lo!
Allah is Aware of what they do.

Commentary
Zanna –
(conjecture), it means – opinion without proof, guess, idea, presumption,
probability etc.
It is commanded that if truly someone desires to discover the reality of anything, he should give up conjecture and guessing at a venture, because the Truth is out of the circle of conjecture and probability. Estimating, realizing in the mind, conjecture and a wild guess do not disclose the Truth. If anybody committed any work on the power of his thoughts, he cannot say: “My work is right”. But it is difficult to decide by a common mankind that “which work is right and which is wrong”. Only Allah Almighty knows the reality of works; done by any human being, and whatever is done by any mankind, about it, none can say except Allah Almighty that whether it is useful or harmful for him. Its knowledge has Allah Almighty only. And He has sent His Messenger (grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) along with His Word (Qur’aan) for the purpose that He (grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) should explain before the people that some works are useful for them and some harmful.
Forming different kinds of machinery by fitting different parts, collecting wealth by snatching from others, and exercising authority on the people by violence; are not useful things for the human being. With effect from the revolution of machine time (which although lessened the human labor), the humankind have been entangled in more and more misfortunes; and further has been going to be entangled.
Matters about his welfare, improvement and advantage can be found only in the Holy Qur’aan, not anywhere else.
