Lesson
The religious
scholars of the Jews used to take bribe from the public, tell them false tenets
and think 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 same also. They used to remain
at home hiding themselves in the situation of crusade and be pleased at their
cleverness that, “how we defended ourselves”.
When the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
used to return from the religious crusade, 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 anguish of Allah Almighty, which has been waiting for them in the world and
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 to expound the
truth/Scripture to the mankind and not to hide it, but they hid it and gave
false and cheap verdicts to the people. It was a very big 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 Future 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 elevated 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 performed. 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”?
