They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a
staunch community who recite the Revelations of Allah in the hours of night,
falling prostrate (before Him).

Commentary
In the previous
lessons, the religious condition, social, economical and political
circumstances, and after life result of the People of the Scripture have been
checked. Due to one sentence of these verses, the Muslims were taken in for a
long time (they remained in deception).
Allah Almighty
commanded, “They have earned anger from their Lord and provoked”. The Muslims
took from it that ‘the Jews have been bereaved of sovereignty and kingdom
forever. They will never become emperors of any state/government’.
In May 1949, an
Empire named Israel was established with the support of United States of America , United Kingdom and Russia (then Union of Soviet Socialist Republic) upon a small part of holy land
Palestine . Then the Muslims thought, “How did it happen so, whereas Allah Almighty
had commanded to them in these verses clearly that they might be saved only in
two forms from the wrath, disgrace and wretchedness. Either they grasp (hold
fast) the rope of Allah Almighty or make a treaty of alliance with other people
and nations, and get their support. It is a universal truth that the so-called
State of Israel exists; her existence depends upon the base of enmity of other
Sovereignties, which suppose that the Muslims are their own enemies.
Individually the Jews have not too much ability to stand at their own feet.
It is being
commanded in this verse, “You should not consider that the Jews and the
Christians are equal. Some of them are pious persons also. Their three
qualities are being described here. Remaining will be discussed in succeeding
verse:
1.
There is a staunch community (who are
on the straight path).
2.
They recite the Revelations of Allah
Almighty in the hours of night and in the silence of night.
3.
They fall prostrate also before Allah
Almighty.
