Commentary
Cunning
activities and embezzlement of the People of the Scripture have been discussed
in these verses. One of their ingenuities was that “some people of the
Scripture used to become Muslims with planning in the morning and offer prayers
with the Muslims. But they would have to disbelieve in the evening by saying: We
have come to know from our great scholars. After verification it is found that
he “Muhammad” (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him)
is not the Prophet, about whom glad tidings was given. And his circumstances
also; do not prove like the right person” (God forbid).
Resultant
the persons, who are weak in their belief, when they will see that some Muslims
have left Islam, they will also return away and will suppose that surely there
might be any fault and blemish in the religion Islam, due to which these people
have seen off it after embracing Islam. The Ignorant people of the Arab used to
consider that the People of the Scripture were great scholars and learned
persons. By this reason, they should imagine that if this new religion was
true, then such “learned persons” would not have rejected it; despite they
would have to accept it before all.
Along
with this plan, the Jews were also taught that, “They should show themselves as
Muslims necessarily before them, but remember that really they should not
embrace Islam. Notwithstanding they should remain Jews, should not be taken in
the Muslims. Moreover, they should remain followers of the Divine religion of
Moses (peace be upon him) wholeheartedly. The only purpose to offer prayers and
worship along-with the Muslims should be that it would be left afterwards and to
deceive them whose belief is weak. They should follow only their own religion”.
It appears from this verse that how they made
up their minds for enmity of Islam with cheating. In what manners they schemed
to deceive the people. But Allah Almighty is Protecting Guardian of the
Muslims. They will never succeed in their plans. It is the duty of the entire
Muslims that they should be careful also at their own places and save
themselves from the mischief of the enemies of Islam. For example; threat of
Israelite state in the center of Islamic Countries, its preparations and plans
against the Muslim states are sufficient to open our eyes.
