Commentary
‘Allaziina kafaruu – (those who
disbelieve, the Infidels), this word has been derived from kafara. Literal meaning of kafara is ‘to hide’. In the phraseology of
Islam, disbeliever of Allah Almighty and His Last Messenger Muhammad (glory,
grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) is called Infidel.
‘Ahlil-kitaabi - (The people
of the Scripture), this phrase has been used many times in the Holy Qur’an. ‘Ahlil-kitaab are those people, who have any
revealed and heavenly Scripture. It is another class besides the Believers and
the Infidels. The most famous out of them are the Children of Israel and
the Christians, who have the Revealed Books (Torah and Gospel). Alas! These
both classes went astray gradually from the teachings of these Scriptures.
‘Al-Mushrikiina – (the
idolaters), this word has come out from the word shirk, which means partnership.
The idolater is the individual, who settles partners either in the Oneness of
God Almighty or in His Virtues or in His Power and Commands. And he makes His
partner worshipped in spite of One God.
Allah Almighty has commanded in this verse
that all Infidels, Idolaters and the people of the Scripture are filled with
envy on the matter that why God Almighty bestows blessings and favors upon
Muslims leaving them.
Then, He said that He chooses for His
favors, whom He wishes. So, nobody should become jealous over any other. From
which nations Prophet-hood had been snatched, that was not due to the avarice
of God Almighty (I seek refuge in ALLAH) but this favor was forfeited from the
Children of Israel due to their own acts.
