Lesson
The people of
the Scripture were threatened in the previous verses: “It is not convenient for
you that you misguide the people intentionally by telling them fictitious
faults regarding the religion of Islam, while open signs and proofs in respect
of the Truth of Islam, Holy Qur-’aan
and the Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of God
Almighty be upon him) have been manifested upon you”.
It is clear that
the Children of Israel used to keep malice unnecessarily in their hearts
against the Muslims. They did not refrain, after listening to the advice.
Therefore, along with this, the Muslims have also been advised: “You should not
be deceived by these mischievous persons. They will try to make you
disbelievers with tricks of various kinds. If you will obey their suggestions
and follow them, then you will throw yourselves into such state of anxiety;
that gradually, you will fall again in the darkness of the infidelity, after
coming out from the light of Belief, whence it will be very difficult to come
back afterwards.
ya-rudduukum – (they will make you disbelievers), the origin of this word is Raddun and the word Murtad has also come out from it.
Hardest and severest punishment in Islam is for the Murtad, (the person, who turns
away from Islam (renegade), is called Murtad).
We cannot compel any person to accept Islam, but he cannot be forgiven who
becomes Renegade (who
turns away from Islam), because he falls in the well of darkness of the
infidelity willfully and with knowledge.
Several matters
are obvious from this verse:
·
The people of the Scripture are
extremely enemies of Islam and they try always that the Muslims would have
turned from the religion Islam towards the infidelity and believed in a
plurality of God (polytheism). It is there deliberate conspiracy.
·
A man is known by the company he
keeps and the company affects itself very soon. If the Muslims will choose
friendship with the People of the Scripture, act upon their advice and accept
their sayings, then in process of the time, their wickedness, depravity, denial
and diabolical acts will infect the Muslims too.
The Muslims must
learn in these circumstances that they should neither attend more; the company
of the People of the Scripture, nor listen to their talks, nor be deceived and
nor increase their relations with them. It is the only form to save oneself
from their evil.
