(Section – 7)
44a. Lo! We did reveal the
Torah, wherein was Guidance and a Light, by which the Prophets who
surrendered (unto Allah) gave instructions to the
Jews, and same did the rabbis and the priests for they were the custodians
and witnesses of Allah’s Scripture.

Commentary
‘Ar-Rabbaaniy-yuuna – (the rabbis), this word is plural of Rabbaanii,
which has come out from the word Rabb. Rabb means Lord. Rabbaanii
means “godly, who is of the Lord (chosen servant of God)”.
‘Ahbaaru – (the priests), it is plural of hibar. Hibar means “those
who know and the wise”.
‘As-tuhfizuu – (the appointed custodians), it has been
derived from the word ‘astah-faaz, origin of which is hifz and hifaazat.
Hifz means “looking after”. ‘astah-faaz means “to appoint a
guard”.
It was described in the
previous verse that the Children of Israel are desirous to be saved from
obeying the Commandment of Allah Almighty by deceiving. There is a praise of Torah in this verse that this Scripture, the commandments
of which are being ignored by the Jews now, is such dignified Holy Book, which
had entire necessary guidance for the humankind of that time, when it was
revealed. And it had a such Light, with the help of which, many obedient
Prophets (peace be upon Them), who surrendered unto Allah Almighty, conveyed instructions to the
Jews for a long time, and the same did the rabbis and the priests, and they all
used to establish the correct way of working because they were appointed as the
custodians and witnesses of Allah’s Scripture. They used to keep
it before their vision and due to their looking after, it was firm in the
world, because there was no any such promise in Torah and Gospel as it exists
in the Holy Qur’aan that Allah Almighty is Himself it’s Protector.
Therefore, until the protectors of Torah, Prophets (peace be upon Them) and Allah’s
servants lived, His Scriptures remained in their original form. When they departed
from this world, then Torah and Gospel could not remain in their original form.
However, every kind of whole commandments did exist
in Torah for its time, and even till now, those commandments, which have not
been superseded by Holy Qur’aan,
are current. It is the duty of those, who claim that they are Jews, that they
should follow and do not change those commandments themselves.
