119.
Lo! ye are those who love them though they love you not, and ye
believe in all the Scripture. And when they fall in with you they say: We
believe; and when they go apart they bite their finger-tips at you, for rage.
Say: Perish in your rage! Lo! Allah is Aware of what is hidden in (your)
breasts.

Lesson
God Almighty
has commanded the Muslims, “You are exhausted in the friendship of the People
of the Scripture but they are not your friends, but they are such enemies who
desire to destroy you utterly. You believe in the entire Heavenly Scriptures whether
those belong to any nation and revealed during any Prophet’s (peace be upon
him) time. On the contrary, they do not believe in your Book (Holy Qur’aan) and Prophet, Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). Even their faith in their own
Scripture is not correct too. It was necessary for them that they would have to
love you and you had to disclose displeasure from them but the case is going at
variance here.
As the common Hypocrites
used to claim with their tongue that they were Muslims, likewise the Christians
and the Jews began saying the word ‘aamannaa (we are Muslims) for acquiring the meanings from it that they
believed in their Scripture and acknowledged them. Therefore, they used to try
deceiving the Believers in the screen of saying “As we believe in our books and
admit them, therefore we are also Muslim”.
Their malice
with the Muslims can be felt from the fact that observing the elevation of
Islam and mutual affection among the Muslims, they become jealous. When they cannot
do something, then due to anger and anguish, they gnash their teeth
and bite their fingers. The Muslims will not get any damage from their
enmity. The People of the Scripture will continue dying in their rage; and
their desires will never be fulfilled. Allah Almighty has informed the Muslims
about their secret wickedness, so that they may be saved always from the
enemies of their own and of Allah Almighty.
