Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Their prophet told them, “Allah has appointed Saul
1 to be your
king.” They protested, “How can he be our
king when some of us are more deserving of
kingship than he, and he has not been blessed with vast riches?” He replied, “Allah has chosen him over you and blessed him with knowledge and stature. Allah grants
kingship to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.”
