Commentary
Yakfuruuna – (they disbelieved), this word has
been derived from the word kafara. Literal meaning of kafara is
‘not to believe, to hide’. Technically, “having not belief in the Oneness of
God and Prophet-hood is called infidelity. So Kaafir means
“the Infidel”. It aims in this verse that the Children of Israel had
become habitual of infidelity and denial.
‘AayaaTillaahi – (Allah’s
Revelations, verses, tokens, signs), it signifies also toward the Miracles of
the Prophets (peace be upon Them), Heavenly Scriptures, Orders and Commandments
of God Almighty too.
Yaq-tuluuna – (they slew,
murdered, killed) the Children of Israel used to kill the Prophets
(peace be upon Them) by crossing the limits of infidelity and violence. They
committed slaying of the Prophets John, Zachariah, Yasa’-yaa’ and Yarmiyaa (peace
be upon Them).
As we have discussed
in the previous lessons that the Children of Israel suffered from the
wrath of God Almighty. Humiliation and wretchedness were affixed upon them. The
reasons of wrath are being narrated in this verse.
God Almighty
commands that the Children of Israel had become habitual of two main
crimes:
- They did not act upon the Commandments of God
Almighty wholeheartedly. Moreover, they used to find faults unnecessarily,
and criticize in each matter unreasonably with improper arguments.
- They used to slay their Prophets (peace be upon
Them). After the Prophet Moses, God Almighty sent many Prophets (peace be
upon Them) but they did not listen to anyone of Them. In addition, they
became enemies of their Prophets. Some of them were blamed and some were
slain.
Causes of these
crimes have been narrated also in this verse that they used to disobey the
Orders of God Almighty and Instructions of His Prophets (peace be upon Them),
and had become habitual to cross the prescribed limits of the Religion. It was
the result that as they turned their faces from the Revelations of God Almighty
and slew the Prophets (peace be upon Them), so they would have to suffer from
the wrath of God Almighty.
