Trade of loss (L-201)

175. أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ اشتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالهُدىٰ وَالعَذابَ
بِالمَغفِرَةِ ۚ فَما أَصبَرَهُم عَلَى النّارِ 176. ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ
الَّذينَ اختَلَفوا فِي الكِتابِ لَفي شِقاقٍ بَعيدٍ |

175. ‘Ulaaa-‘ikallazii-nashtara-wuz-zalaalata bil-hudaa wal-‘azaaba bil-magfirah. Famaaa ‘asbarahum ‘alan-Naar. 176. Zaalika bi-‘annAllaaha
nazzalal-Kitaaba bil-Haqq. Wa ‘innallazii-nakhtalafuu
fil-kitaabi lafii shiqaaqim- ba-‘iid. (Section
21/5) |

175. It is they who exchange guidance for error, and forgiveness for punishment. But why do they insist on the Fire? 176. That is because God
has revealed the Book in truth; and those who differ about the Book are in
deep discord. |
The people, who hide the truth and sell the religion for a few coins, reality of their business has been described in this verse. They deem individually that they have collected wealth by selling the Truth; earned the world, collected things of pleasure and did very good business. But Holy Qur’an describes that in fact. they have lost everything in this business, they have bought error at the cost of guidance, forgot the straight path and chose the cursed way, took shelter in darkness by leaving the Light, liked depravity instead of Faith, this world instead of the Day of Resurrection, and torment at the cost of pardon. Which business will be more harmful and injurious than it? Those people achieved casual gains and did not care for that comfortable life which will be for ever.
Hiding the truth is a very big sin as coloring falsely to the commandments of God, dealing as selling the Right. Punishment of this wicked deed is very much painful. We should learn from the misdeeds of the Children of Israel so that we may save ourselves from the sins/evildoing.
Why did this all happen? Hence God revealed the Right/Just but they opposed it. If there had been any lawful reason then it were right, but they did not believe in the Truth due to only adversity and religious persecution. They got ready to contradict for enmity and opposed instead of cooperation. They supposed also that the religion was racial and family inheritance. They turned their faces from the last Messenger (ﷺ); only due to the reason that he (ﷺ) was from the Children of Ishmael (Peace be upon him) and was not one from the Children of Israel (Peace be upon him), although they both were Children of the same Forefather - Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him).
