And lo!
there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that
ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from
the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and
they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.

Lesson
Allah Almighty has mentioned in this verse about
religious embezzlement and dishonesty of the People of the Scripture. These
people deceive the persons in their worldly matters as well as in the religious
affairs. They alter the Words of Heavenly Books (the Scripture) and depose duly
changed its meanings. They included some false self-invented descriptions in
the Torah and Gospel and excluded entire those verses from the Holy Books,
which they considered apparently not fruitful for them.
Some
people from them were those, who distorted the Scripture with their tongues, so
that the listeners might be deceived and they might think that what they had
said was from the Scripture. Their evil does not end here but they also used to
claim that it entire is revealed from God Almighty, while it was not from the
Scripture. How much hard heartedness would be more than it that they attributed
all these false descriptions as from Allah, while they knew that it was not
from Allah but their self-invented and they told a lie concerning Allah Almighty
knowingly. For them surely there will be a painful doom.
It is
known from this verse also that the children of Israel changed the Scripture of
Allah Almighty intentionally for the purpose of only worldly greediness. Due to
revenge of this kind of evils, they were involved in different types of
difficulties and torments from Allah Almighty. Entire favors were snatched from
them. Their biggest favor was prophet-hood, which was transferred to the
children of Ishmael (Last Messenger, Muhammad – grace, glory, blessings and peace
of Allah Almighty be upon him) from them. Now the Word of Allah Almighty is in
our trust in the form of Holy Qur’an. We should preserve Its Words and Meanings
completely and should not attribute any thing towards Allah Almighty, which is
neither held in the Holy Qur’an nor is against the Will of Allah Almighty.
