Commentary
The religious
scholars of the Jews used to take bribe from the public, by telling them false
tenets and thinking that nobody can observe their ingenuity. They used to hope
that the people would praise them that they were supreme scholars and truth
loving. On the other side, the condition of the Hypocrites was the same also.
They used to remain at home; hiding themselves in the situation of war and were
pleased at their cleverness that, “how did we defend ourselves”.
When the Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to
return from the religious war, then the above mentioned people wished (by false
evading about their absence) that they might be praised by Allah’s Apostle
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described in these
verses that these kinds of activities cannot save them from the doom of Allah
Almighty, which has been waiting for them in the world and in the Hereafter.
Those depravities of
the People of the Scripture were signified in the first verse that:
· They did not stand firm and flung the solemn covenant behind their backs,
which was taken by Allah Almighty.
· They were required to expound the truth/commands mentioned in the Scripture
before the mankind and not to hide it, but they hid it and gave false and cheap
verdicts to the people. It was a very great crime to give the false verdicts,
but they did not stop here and sold their religion and faith against a few
coins, and ruined their world and Hereafter at their own.
In what manner these
people have fallen into an idiotically misunderstanding that they become happy
upon their each lawful or unlawful deed. They think that their conduct and acts
are higher from error. It is its result that now there is no chance of their
correction. Not only has this but they wanted to be praised for those acts,
which they have not done. As if they did not do any duty, even then, it was a
planned scheme and they did not adopt sagacity and prudence.
Allah Almighty commanded, “Triumphing perceptions
and childish solaces of those people will not be able to save them from the
anguish of Allah Almighty. Sovereign Power of the heavens and the earth is only
for Allah Almighty. How can they go out from it and where can they go leaving
it”?
