Lesson
There is a description about some dissentions, deceiving and
cunning behavior of the Jews in these verses.
The badness and flaws of the children of Israel
have been mentioned from the verse ‘Innallaaha
laa yuhibbu man-
kaana mukh-taalan- fakhuuraa (4:36) (Lo! Allah loveth not such
as are proud and boastful) (up to the verse 4:42). Then it was told, “Yaaa- ‘ayyu-hallaziina ‘aa-manuu
laa taqrabus-Salaata wa
‘antum sukaaraa” (4:43)
(O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye
are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when
journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed). Now their (Jews) description
is being started again from these verses.
The Jews are the People of the Scripture. Allah Almighty
bestowed them some portion of His Word, but acting upon those Instructions was
not in their fate. These people purchase straggling in retaliation of the
verses of Allah Almighty and hide the qualities and conditions regarding His
last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They
keep secret the glad tidings about Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him), mentioned in their Scripture so that their own honor and chief-ship
might not end. They disbelieve in Islam intentionally and wish too to make the Muslims err from the right way and turn them from
their religion Islam.
This nation was beloved to Allah Almighty. Many
Prophets and Messengers of God Almighty (peace be upon them) were sent towards
them, who used to try for showing them the right path through preaching and
invitation in all respect. Instead of learning about the betterment of the Day
of Resurrection, they used to gain the worldly benefits, by making changes in
the Scripture of Allah Almighty, the order that they used to seem favorable for
them, obeyed it and which commands lessened their temporary advantages, they
used to kick them. They concealed the glad tiding regarding last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) given in their Scripture, only for the purpose that their dominion
and lordship would not end, and they would not be vilified. In short, they used
to purchase the world (wealth) by selling their religion. Now they seek to make also the Muslims err from the right way.
Allah Almighty commands, “O Muslims! I know your
enemies very well. Keep satisfaction. They would never be able to ruin you. Be
careful from them. Allah Almighty is Sufficient to increase your gain and to
save you from any loss. Do not reflect from your enemies and remain firm upon
the religion – Islam”.
