Commentary
It is known from this sentence that as the
Children of Israel used to slay and shed the blood among themselves
mutually or exile their compatriots and religious-fellows, which was not for
any principle but only as a sin, tyranny and transgression. The nation, which
behaves like this with their own people, what a better behavior that can do
with others?
God Almighty warns the Children
of Israel in this verse, “You ratified Our Covenant that you should
neither shed the blood of your people; nor turn (a party of) your people out of
their dwellings.” But you oppose this covenant. You slay one another and drive
out a party of your people from their homes.
During the times of Last Messenger (peace
and blessings be upon Him), two tribes from the Children of Israel ‘Banu
Nazair’ and ‘Banu Quraizah’ used to live in Madinah and its vicinity. They used to remain
busy in civil war/domestic quarrels habitually. Two tribes of the Infidels of
Madinah were also populated there. One of the tribes from the Jews used to be
friend of the one tribe of Infidels, and the other tribe of the Jews - friend
of the other tribe of the infidels. Whenever the war used to begin, it was
their routine to slay and exile one another.
It reveals from the history that after the
Prophet Solomon (peace be upon Him), cruel contradiction grew among the twelve
tribes of the Children of Israel. Many people were slain during their
wars. Resultant, their government was ruined. They became slaves of
others and were compelled to pass their lives under disgrace, infamy and
ignominy condition.
