The People Of The Scripture Obstruct The Believers

 

The People of the Scripture denied (L-427) 

قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَبِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا تَعْمَلُونَ 98. قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَأَنتُمْ شُهَدَآءُ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ  99.

98.  ‘Qul  yaaa-‘Ahlal-Kitaabi lima  takfuruuna  bi- ‘AayaaTillaahi  WAllaahu  Shahiidun  ‘alaa  maa  ta’-maluun.        99. Qul  yaaa-‘Ahlal-Kitaabi  lima  tasudduuna  ‘an-  Sabii-Lillaahi  man  ‘aamana  tab-guuna-haa  ‘iwajanw-wa  ‘antum  shuha-daaa’.  Wa  MAllaahu  bi-gaafi-lin  ‘ammaa    ta’-maluun.

98. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?” 99. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe, seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of what you do.”

At first, the Jews and the Christians were being addressed. In the midst, their objections were replied and doubts were cleared. Now they are being advised again, “While the paths of good and evil have been described you openly. The proofs of just and truth have been manifested, true and valid verses of Holy Qur’an have been caused you to hear. Then now what is the problem with you that you have fixed yourselves to disbelieve in Holy Qur’an and the Holder of this Word of God i.e. His last Messenger (ﷺ), whereas you are called the people of the Scripture”. “Remember it that your entire deeds are being noted by God. He knows very well also your intentions and schemes. When He will seize you, then He will not leave you before taking a complete account”.

Messenger of God (ﷺ) is being commanded in the second verse of this lesson, “Ask from the People of the Scripture! Not only you are deprived of getting the wealth of Belief yourselves, but you wish to drive back the believers from the Way of God too. Why is it so, that you try to find false and untrue faults in Islam by seeking to make it crooked (to turn the Muslims away from Islam), while you are witnesses (to God’s Guidance)? You do not commit these evil acts unknowingly, but try to falsify the truth after recognizing. God is not Unaware of these wickedness. When the time of reprisal will come, He will punish you severely.

We have come to know from these verses that the children of Israel have, willing or unwilling, enmity, malice and obstinacy against Islam. Holy Qur’an has described them entire facts openly and they have understood it too, that Holy Qur’an is really the Word of God. But notwithstanding they do not adopt the straight path. https://youtu.be/2u9tWE93BzE
