53. Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then
in that case, they would not give mankind even the speck on a date-stone.
54. Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which
Allah of His Bounty hath bestowed upon them? “So We bestowed upon the house
of Abraham (of old) the Scripture and Wisdom, and We bestowed on them a
mighty kingdom.

Commentary
Occasion of this verse’s
revelation has been described that the Children of Israel used to consider
that prophet-hood and lord-ship of the religion was their hereditary and right.
Moreover, it should remain only in the dynasty of the children
of Israel in every reign. Therefore, they used to take it as their
disgrace in obeying the last Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him), and say that ultimately they would
succeed in getting sovereignty and kingdom. Due to saying the above-mentioned
words by the Jews, this verse was revealed, “Have the Jews any share in the
Sovereignty and kingdom?” It means that certainly they have no share. These
people are so much stingy that if they become ruler or king, they will never
give alms even equal to a seed of the sesame. That is to say; whenever they
will get empire anywhere, they will not bestow on any beggar even equal to an
atom.
Then Allah Almighty inquires,
“Are the Jews grievous due to Bounty and the Liberality, which Allah Almighty
has bestowed upon Muhammad, His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) and His companions (sahaabah) (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with them)? It is entirely their absurdity to envy for this purpose
because We have bestowed upon the house of Abraham (peace be upon him) the
Scripture and Wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom. Even now; these
all are held in His (Abraham - peace be upon him) house as the last Prophet
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is from the descendants of
Ishmael, who was too the son of Abraham (peace be upon them). Then it is not
lawful for the Jews to envy and deny due to this reason.
When it was manifested upon the
Jews that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was a True
Prophet of Allah Almighty and Holy Qur’an is His Real Word,
then it was better for them to believe in Allah Almighty, to embrace Islam and
to become brothers of the Muslims instead of maintaining malice and jealousy in
their hearts. But they were misled as much in the greed and avarice of worldly
respect and honor, wealth and property that they did not care for the Commands
of Allah Almighty. They used to burn in the fire of jealousy and avarice, to
stand opposite upon the infidelity and denial, and to be exhausted of the
friendship with the enemies of Islam. They also used to remain misers and do
stinginess. How can prophet-hood and sovereignty be given to the people like
These?
