Commentary
Laa tagluu –
(Do not stress), this word is from guluu, which means ‘to overstep
bounds, to say or do more than the requirement’.
‘Ahwaaa-‘a –
(the vain desires), it is plural of Hawaa, which means ‘vain and
fabricated desire’.
According to previous verses,
Jesus {Messiah (peace be upon Him)} says (himself): O Children of Israel!
Worship only God Almighty Who is my Lord and your Lord. Whoso ascribes partners
unto Allah Almighty, for him, He has forbidden Paradise. His abode is the
Fire. And for evildoers there will be no helpers.
At first, Allah Almighty
commands in these verses, “Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your
religion other than the truth, and follow not the vain desires of folk who
erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a right path”. It signifies
towards Gospel, which forbids from ascribing partners to Allah Almighty. But
after that, a scholar of the Christians, named Paul, promoted worshiping of
idols in his own religion also, when he saw the Romans and the Greeks doing so.
And they began to say too their Messenger Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), son
of God as the Romans and Grecian used to say their demi-gods as sons of God.
And they began to state godhead virtues in Messiah (peace be upon him) also
like those demi-gods. Even that the religion of the Christians had become
imitation of old wrong religions.
Allah Almighty has described
here that they had erred of old (the Romans and the Grecians) and led many
astray, and erred from a right path. You should not do like their practices but
follow correctly your own Scripture.
