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 worshipping 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.
