In the meaning of "And Allah has led him astray due to knowledge." Although the outward meaning is as mentioned, to this humble one, the verse's purpose refers to the scholars of the age who have turned away from the beauty of truth and clung to their own knowledge, derived from their ego and desires, and used it to argue against divine revelation and His command. "Say, 'It is great news that you turn away from.'" And similarly, it says: "And when Our clear signs are recited to them, they say, 'This is nothing but a man who wants to divert you from what your fathers were worshiping,' and they say, 'This is nothing but a fabricated lie.'" And the truth says: when it is recited to them, i.e., to those impudent disbelievers, the sacred, unique verses, the ignorant polytheists say, 'This is nothing but a man who wants to prevent you from what your fathers were worshiping,' and they further say, 'This is nothing but a fabricated lie.'
