Commentary
At first the Jews were told that they should
act upon the commands of Torah and neither change in the acts for a little
worldly gain, and nor they should hide anything from it.
The Jews refused to obey the commands in two ways:
Either they removed the command from the Scripture entirely and said, “This
command does not exist in the Torah”. Such people were appointed as
disbelievers as per first verse of this section. Or they admitted the command
but left to act upon it and changed it as they wished in accordance with their
pleasure. Such people have been named as “the tyrants”.
The Commentators have written that there were two
tribes of the Jews in Madinah, named; Banu Qurayzah and Banu
Nazayr during the period of
the revelation of these verses. Banu
Nazayr were powerful, while Banu Qurayzah were weak. The order of retaliation
did exist in the Torah i.e. that the punishment of any offence like murder,
injury during quarrel or if somebody wounds someone else, should be given
equally to all offenders, whether anyone of them belongs to higher class or
lower, is powerful or weak, rich or poor. But Banu
Nazayr used to get life of
human or property double in the form of retaliation or money from Banu Qurayzah in the haughtiness of being powerful,
and on the contrary pay them half. So they are called tyrants and cruel in the
second verse.
In this verse the Christians have been addressed,
“the People of the Gospel should act upon the entire commands of Gospel. It is
unlawful that their scholars did not care this command of Gospel (You should be
obedient heartily of Paraclete (Ahmad, Muhammad) (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) and either they concealed it or began to
explain it with some other meanings. Although, they had faith that Paraclete is the same person i.e. Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), the Last messenger of Allah
Almighty. Even then they rejected by tricks.
It has been described in the verse that such people,
who practise deceit, are evil-livers and disobedient.
