14.
And with those who say: “Lo! We are Christians,” We made a covenant,
but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. And therefore We
have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection.
And Allah will inform them of their handiwork.

Commentary
Nasaaraaa- either this word has come out from nasar, which means “to help”, if so, then
it means “the helper, the supporter”, or it has a relation with Naasirah, which is name of a village in Syria,
where Prophet Christ (peace be upon Him) used to live, and due to this reason,
He (peace be upon Him) is called Messiah Nasrii. In view of this illustration, Nasaaraaa means ‘The believers of Messiah (peace be upon Him), Who belonged to Naasirah’.
‘AgrayNaa – (We stirred up), it is from ‘agraaa, which means “to induce, to incite,
to create, to apply, to put to work”.
Yunabbi-‘u- (to inform), it has been made from nabaaa-‘a, which means “the news”. It aims that Allah Almighty will inform them.
Yasna-‘uun – (that, what they used to do), it is from san-‘at, which means “to make something, to
do any work”.
In this verse, there is mention about the Christians.
Allah Almighty commands here, “We made a
covenant with them because they had believed in Prophet Jesus (peace be upon
Him) and it was their covenant that they would obey Him (peace be upon Him).
But afterwards, they broke the covenant too and like the Jews, they also became
disobedient. They forgot fundamental commandments out of those, which were
revealed for them in the New Testament (the Gospel), and changed its words and
meanings in accord with their own desires, so they were deprived of their advantages.
The biggest information into those commandments was, “after the Prophet Christ
(peace be upon Him), the Last Apostle of Allah Almighty (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) will
come in the world. You should help Him and obey Him wholeheartedly”. But they
removed His name and entire description about Him (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) from their Scripture.
It has been told in this verse, “It is the result of
forgetting the original teachings of the Scripture that if a person said
anything, the other said against it. This mutual contradiction increased so
much that they became enemies of one another. On one side, enmity among the
Jews and the Christians was produced, secondly, the Jews themselves were
opponents mutually of each other, and on the other side, different sects of the
Christians began to fight against one another.
Mutual cooperation
can be produced only by acting upon the original commandments of the Scripture.
The Scriptures held with the Jews and the Christians, are not in their original
form. Therefore, they will be fighting always until the end of this world,
because now, there is nothing remained to settle their mutual conflicts. Now
there is no way of their becoming conscious except that they would have to
believe in Holy Qur’aan, the Last Scripture.
