Disbelieving by the People of the Scripture

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَبِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا تَعْمَلُونَ 98

 قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَأَنتُمْ شُهَدَآءُ وَمَا ٱللَّهُبِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ 99

98.  Say: O people of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the Revelations of Allah, when Allah (Himself) is Witness of what ye do?           99.  Say: O people of the Scripture! Why drive ye back believers from the Way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, when ye are witnesses (to Allah’s Guidance)? And Allah is not Unaware of what ye do.

98.  ‘Qul  yaaa-‘Ahlal-Kitaabi  lima  takfuruuna  bi-‘AayaaTillaahi  Wallaahu  Shahiidun  ‘alaa  maa  ta’-maluun.        99. Qul  yaaa-‘Ahlal-Kitaabi  lima  tasudduuna  ‘an-  Sabii-Lillaahi  man  ‘aamana  tab-guuna-haa  ‘iwajanw-wa  ‘antum  shuha-daaa’.  Wa  Mallaahu  bi-gaafi-lin  ‘ammaa    ta’-maluun.

Commentary

      

At first, the Jews and the Christians were being addressed. In the midst, their objections were replied and doubts were cleared. Now they are being advised again, “While the paths of good and evil have been described you openly. The proofs of just and truth have been manifested, true and valid verses of Holy Qur’an have been caused to hear you. Then now what is the problem with you that you have fixed yourselves to disbelieve in Holy Qur’an and the Holder of this Word of Allah Almighty i.e. His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), whereas you are called the people of the Scripture”. “Remember it that your entire deeds are being noted by Allah Almighty. He knows very well also your intentions and schemes. When He will seize you, then He will not leave you before taking a complete account”.    

Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is being commanded in the second verse of this lesson, “Ask from the People of the Scripture! Not only you are deprived of getting the wealth of Belief yourselves, but you wish to drive back the believers from the Way of Allah too. Why is it so, that you try to find false and untrue faults in Islam by seeking to make it crooked (to turn the Muslims away from Islam), while you are witnesses (to Allah’s Guidance)? You do not commit these evil acts unknowingly, but try to falsify the truth after recognizing. Allah Almighty is not Unaware of these wickedness. When the time of reprisal will come, He will punish you severely.

We have come to know from these verses that the children of Israel have, willing or unwilling, enmity, malice and obstinacy against Islam. Holy Qur’an has described them entire facts openly and they have understood it too, that the Holy Qur’an is really the Word of Allah Almighty. But notwithstanding they do not adopt the straight path.
