18. -The Jews and Christians
say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins?
Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth
whom He will. And Allah’s is the
Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and
unto Him is the journeying.

Commentary
‘Ahibbaaa-‘uH – (His loved ones), it is plural of habib, which means “friend, fondling and
caressed”.
The Jews and the Christians used to consider
themselves noble than all other people. When they reached among the simple
people of the Arab, they also accepted them generally as respectable. These so
called superior people used to tell them their stories. At that time, when Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Messenger of Allah Almighty came and told the Arabians their evil deeds, then they were
weary. Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) frightened them
from the punishment of Allah Almighty and said, “Now you cannot get respect until you do not obey Me”.
Later, their scholars said, “You should tell these Sayings to your
nation-fellow Arabs. Our dignity is very high”. Even they said, “We are sons of
God, His beloved and chosen people”.
We have recited in Surah Al-Baqarah and then in Surah Aali-‘Imraan that the Jews used to say, “We shall not be given punishment of the Fire.
And if that was, that would be only for a few days”. There they were replied,
“Show that contract deed, in which it has been mentioned that you would be
saved from the anguish”. In Surah Aali-‘Imraan it was described that “Those narratives have put them in deception, which
have been included in the religion by themselves”. They have been responded in
this verse as a reply of their haughtily saying so, “We are intimates and
fondling of God”.
It has been indicated here, “If, your saying so (we
are loved ones of God) is correct, then why are you punished in this world?
Sometime you are ordered to kill one another, at another time you are fallen
into plague. It is apparent that you are also mortals of His creating
(humankind like others) and you fall too under the same principle (He forgiveth
whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will), because the Sovereignty of the
heavens, the earth and all that, which is between them, is of Allah Almighty only. No creature can postpone His Order and unto Him is the
journeying of the entire creatures including human beings. Loved ones
(servants) of Allah Almighty are
only those persons, who do good works and ward off sins, evils and wrong deeds
due to fear of His punishment. It is promise of Allah Almighty with them that they will not be entangled in any distress, grief
or sadness on the Day of Resurrection.
