Lesson
Allaziina kafaruu – (those who disbelieve, the Infidels). This word is derived from kafara.
Literal meanings of kafara are ‘to hide’. In the phrase of Islam
disbeliever of Allah Almighty and His Last Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) is called Infidel
‘Ahlil-kitaabi - (The people of the Scripture) this phrase has been used many times in
the Holy Qur’an. ‘Ahlil-kitaab
is said to those people who have any revealed and heavenly Book. It is an other
class besides the Believers and the Infidels. The most famous out of them are
the children of Israel
and Christians who have the Revealed Books (Torah and Gospel). Alas! These both
classes went astray gradually from the teachings of these Books.
Al-Mushrikiina – (the idolaters) this word has come out from the word shirk which
means partnership. The idolater is the person, who settles partners either in
the Oneness of God Almighty or in His Virtues or in His Power and Commands. And
he makes His partner worshipped in spite of One God.
Allah Almighty has commanded in this verse that all
the Infidels, Idolaters and the people of the Scripture are filled with envy on
the matter that why the God Almighty bestows blessings and favours over Muslims
leaving them.
Then He said that He chooses for His favours to
whom He wishes. So no body should become jealous over any other. From which
nations the Prophet Hood had been snatched, that was not due to the avarice of
God Almighty (I seek refuge in ALLAH) but this favour was forfeited from the children of Israel due to
their own acts.
