Hypocrite People of the Scripture (L-403)
|
وَقالَت طائِفَةٌ مِن
أَهلِ الكِتابِ آمِنوا بِالَّذي أُنزِلَ عَلَى الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَجهَ النَّهارِ
وَاكفُروا آخِرَهُ لَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ72. وَلا تُؤمِنوا إِلّا
لِمَن تَبِعَ دينَكُم 73a. |

72. Wa qaalat-taaa-‘ifatum-min ‘Ahlil- Kitaabi ‘aaminuu billaziii ‘unzila ‘alallaziina ’aa-manuu wajhan-nahaari wakfuruuu ‘aakhirahuu la-‘allahum yarji-‘uun. 73a. Wa laa tu’-minuuu ‘illaa li-man-
tabi-‘a Diinakum. |

72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73a. And trust none
except those who follow your religion. |
Cunning activities and embezzlement of the People of the Scripture have been discussed in these verses. One of their ingenuities was that “some people of the Scripture used to become Muslims with planning in the morning and offer prayers with the Muslims. But they would have to disbelieve in the evening by saying: We have come to know from our great scholars. After verification it is found that he “Muhammad” (ﷺ) is not the Prophet, about whom glad tidings was given. And his circumstances also; do not prove like the right person” (God forbid).
Resultant the persons, who are weak in their belief, when they will see that some Muslims have left Islam, they will also return away and will suppose that surely there might be any fault and blemish in the religion Islam, due to which these people have seen off it after embracing Islam. The Ignorant people of the Arab used to consider that the People of the Scripture were great scholars and learned persons. By this reason, they should imagine that if this new religion was true, then such “learned persons” would not have rejected it; despite they would have to accept it before all.
Along with this plan, the Jews were also taught that, “They should show themselves as Muslims necessarily before them, but remember that really they should not embrace Islam. Notwithstanding they should remain Jews, should not be taken in the Muslims. Moreover, they must remain followers of the Divine religion of Moses (Peace be upon him) wholeheartedly. The only purpose to offer prayers and worship along-with the Muslims should be that it would be left afterwards and to deceive them whose belief is weak. They should follow only their own religion”.
It appears from this verse that how they made up their minds for enmity of Islam by cheating. In what manners they schemed to deceive the people. But God is Protecting Guardian of the Muslims. They will never succeed in their plans. It is the duty of the entire Muslims that they should be careful also at their own places and save themselves from the mischief of the enemies of Islam. For example; threat of Israelite state in the center of Islamic Countries, its preparations and plans against the Muslim states are sufficient to open our eyes.
