BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

59.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else than
that we believe in Allaah and that
which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed aforetime, and verily
most of you are evil-livers?
60.
Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allaah? (Worse is the case of him)
whom Allaah hath cursed, him on
whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allaah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth the
Devil. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the straight
path.

Lesson
Tanqi-muuna – (You blame us), it is from naqmat, which means “to find fault, to
take someone in a bad sense”. It aims “You rage upon us”. It is apparent that
blaming, abusing or troubling anyone by finding fault in his skill, is usually
due to opposite thought. So the word tanqi-muuna has been translated as blame. Masuubatan is a second form of Sawaab (Reward), which means “Retaliation of any good or bad deed”.
Here it signifies towards “retaliation of bad deed and its punishment”. Khanaaziira – is plural of Khinziir, which means a swine.
The Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) of Allaah
Almighty and through Him, other Muslims are being addressed in this verse that
they should ask the People of the Scripture, “Why are you angry upon us? We
have never said any such a word, due to which, you became our enemy. Any new
thing, which can be seen into us, is only that we have chosen Allaah Almighty as our only Worshipped.
We believe in Him heartily and understand the Holy Qur’aan as His true Scripture, as well as believe in those all Scripture,
revealed before it, are true. The Holy Qur’aan
has also declared that those Holy Books were true and it has placed their
original commands either as those were or with a suitable change. Our duty is
to obey and act upon those commands. On the contrary, which new things has been
observed into you is, that many people out of you have become disobedient and
gripped up their loins to disbelieve in the commands of their own Scripture. If
they had believed in their commands, then it would have become compulsory for
them to believe in the Holy Qur’aan,
because they have been ordered in those commands that they should have to
believe in the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
and His Scripture, the Holy Qur’aan
and obey their commands. These two different things are visible clearly between
you and us i.e. we obey the commands of God Almighty, but you disobey. Is it
good that you take our obedience in a bad sense and yours disobedience in a
good sense and oppose us? If you don’t have enmity with us due to the reason
that we are obedient of Allaah
Almighty, then tell us! Which is other reason of bad relations between you and
us?
If you will afflict us, all the
equitable will say only that the Jews and the Christians dislike the Muslims
because they serve and obey God Almighty. Maximum people of you are disobedient
and refractory. Your decision that the Believers are bad and able to punished,
is as slaying the justice, which is entirely opposite to the fact”.
Then Allaah Almighty commands to say them, “We tell you about those, who
are worse and deserve worse retribution. They are those people, whom Allaah Almighty has cursed, on whom His
wrath has fallen and some of whom were turned to apes and swine in old time”.
The person, who is found with these evils, has been fallen from the grade of
humanity and has gone back from the Straight Path. That person is abominable
and should be punished.
The Jews themselves and the
persons, who were aware of their history, they all were acquainted that these
all matters are applicable upon them (the Jews). They were cursed by Allaah Almighty and His wrath was fallen
on them too. Out of them were turned to apes and swine, and they were also from
the Jews, who became worshippers of calf by following Satan. We have discussed
all these matters in Surah Al-Baqarah.
