جزء : 6

Allah (swt) states that worship is the creature’s obedience towards the Creator, and that Allah (swt) is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. He (swt) does not say: All-Hearing, All-Seeing; because the question: “Do you worship” requires knowledge.

but many of them are defiantly disobedient.)

The Jews are rebellious and disobedient to Allah’s method that revealed to the Prophet Mossa (Moses) (PBUH).

As did the Jews during the Battle of the Trench, where the Banu al-Nadir conspired with the Arab tribes against the Prophet (saws) and his companions. The result was that they deserved the wrath of Allah (swt) and He expelled them from His mercy. Therefore, they will be in in the punishment eternally.

They did not forbid each other from committing sins and the prohibitions and did not advise to truth and to patience:

 وَالْعَصْرِ (1) إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ (2) إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

(By time, (2) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (3) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.) (Al-‘Assr)

(… عَن مُّنكَرٍ …) (…wrongdoing …): It is every act the common sense refuses such as killing, transgression, indecency….. Advising good and forbidding evil is not the duty of a specific group of people, but all people can advise with good and can forbid of evil; today, I advise you to be patient, and tomorrow you may advise me to be patient, one day you advise and another day you are the advised. So, advising people is not a duty given to a certain group of people. It is worthy here to mention the Prophet (saws)’s hadith:

“Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is unable to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest form of Faith”.[1]

Does this Hadith mean that if you see a man smoking you have to hit him? Of course not, that is why in order to understand the religion correctly we have to know the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran and the Hadiths. You can apply this Hadith on whom you have authority on, for example, if you are a father and you see your son smoking cigarettes, then you can change the evil with your own hands, but if you do not have the authority, it is the duty of judiciary and the law to prevent the evils, rebuke and deter. Hence, no person can say: I will change the evil by my hands, and when he finds a shop selling alcohol he can destroy it, not at all, and the proof is the saying of the Prophet (saws): “if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue” meaning with a kind word, and if your word may harm a person: “then with his heart”. Look at the gentle manner of Islam, You are held accountable for the word, and you cannot reform a mistake with a mistake. Allah (swt) says:

 ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ

(Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.) (An-Nahl: 25)

[1] Sahih Muslim: Book of Faith, Chapter: 20, Hadith No.49.

Allah (swt) states that He has cursed just the disbelievers among the Children of Israel, this is the Law of Preserving the Possibility.

(… عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُودَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ …) (…by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary …): They were cursed in the Zabur (Psalms) because of their transgression on the day of Sabt (Saturday) and they were cursed in Injeel (the Bible) because they slandered Maryam the Chaste.

(  ذلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا وَّكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ… ) (…That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed): The difference between disobedience and transgression is that disobedience is a sin that you do against yourself whereas, transgression is a sin you do towards others. However, what we see now of their attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Palestinian people, the Syrian people, and everywhere is evidence of the truthfulness of the Holy Qur’an.

The speech still relates to the Jews who were trying in al-Medina to conspire with the polytheists against the Prophet (saws), and they were exceeding the limits in their religion; they wanted a prophet from the people of the Children of Israel, and they did not want the prophet to come from the Arabs. One of the rich and senior Jews – who is Ka’b bin al-Ashraf although he knew that in the Torah there are all the descriptions of the Prophet (saws) and he knew as well that there is only one God, and that the Torah is a heavenly book, and that Mossa (Moses)  (PBUH) is one of the Prophets of Allah (swt), and that Issa (Jesus)  (PBUH) is one of the Prophets of Allah (swt), in spite of all that when Muhammad (saws) was calling for the worship of Allha (swt) only, the One Who revealed the Torah, the Gospel and the Psalms. Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf went to the polytheists of Mecca and said to them: You are more guided to the way than Muhammad. Thereof, the Jews are the ones who went astray.

(… وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا أَهْوَاءَ قَوْمٍ قَدْ ضَلُّوا مِن قَبْلُ وَأَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا …) (…and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many …): They went astray before when they worshiped the calf, this is the first misguidance, so they misled many of those behind them who followed their path.

( وَضَلُّوا عَن سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ … ) (…and have strayed from the soundness of the way.”): They have strayed from the straight path that leads to the goal and the success of this world and the hereafter. Hence, the nation of the Children of Israel who stood in the face of Moses (PBUH) after they dared and asked to see Allah (swt) openly, although he (PBUH) split the sea with his staff, and manna and quails were sent to them, and after all The gifts and the signs that were revealed to them, they went astray, as a result misguidance was their profession everywhere.

Meaning, The Messiah (PNUH) is one of the human Messengers of Allah (swt), who acted according to the commands and the legislation, that Allah (swt) sent to them.

(… وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ …) (…And his mother was a supporter of truth …): Hence, Maryam the Chaste believed in Allah (swt) with complete trust in Him, so she was given the highest rank after the prophecy. This adjective is the best proof that she was not a woman Prophet, this rank gave her a great virtue and honour, moreover there is a whole Surah by her name (Surah Maryam).

(… كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ الطَّعَامَ …) (…They both used to eat food …): The is a very clear evidence that they are humans since they need food same as all people.

I have combined the three verses because we are in front of the issue of Christianity, and these verses highlight the belief of Muslims with regard to the Prophet Issa (Jesus) (PBUH). And in order to make the matter clear to all people, we must not separate the meaning of verses of the Holy Qur’an. Allah (swt) gives us the rule that should be behavioral with regard to Christian brothers. There is a difference in doctrine between Muslims and Christians, and this difference is mentioned in these three verses. We must first discuss the doctrinal issue with thought and reason, not with strife, enmities, or the negative impact on the difference between the Islamic religion and the Christian religion.

We begin with the issue of Takfir: It is the most dangerous issue that has plagued Muslims since the era of the Kharijites, when they stood in the face of the Companions and accused the greatest of the companions to be infidels, who is Imam Ali (may Allah honour his face). All takfiri movements relied on the principle that the word (Takfir) is equivalent to killing, and these we call them takfiris: That is, they transformed the ideological doctrinal issue into a behavioral issue by committing  crimes, claiming that our religion is a religion of Takfir and they attribute to the religion what the enemies of the religion wanted, and they punish people for the doctrinal issue as if they were commissioners by Allah (swt), while ignoring the words of Allah (swt):

 لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ

(There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.) (Al-Baqara: 256)

 فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ (21) لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ (22)

(So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. (22) You are not over them a controller.) (Al-Ghashiya: 21-22)

Hence, we are not allowed to judge the non-Muslims which is the right of Allah (swt) only. So they change the Islamic rulings, for Allah (swt) has not allowed the Muslims to fight the unbelievers unless they are aggressors, Allah (swt) says:

 أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ

(Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory.) (Al-Hajj: 39)

All the noble verses make it clear that Allah (swt) does not love aggressors, and clarify the sanctity of the human soul. The People of the Scripture are divided into two parts: Jews and Christians, and the Holy Quran put the basis for dealing with both of them by saying:

}  لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقْرَبَهُم مَّوَدَّةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَانًا وَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ{

(You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant) (Al-Maida: 82)

The Jews are mentioned before those who associate others with Allah (swt) because they are more in animosity.

The trial means a test and affliction from Allah (swt) to the people of the Children of Israel, as a result of their killing and denial of the prophets (PBUT), so they became blind and deaf. You are responsible for the means of perception and Allah (swt) will ask you about them. Although hearing always takes precedence over sight, but here it comes after the sight to indicate the blindness of the heart; Because the experience that a person sees is truer than the experience that he hears. Therefore, the test will be first by what you saw, and then by what you heard, and what you reported. And as it is known, they committed all crimes; they worshiped the calf, and demanded to see Allah (swt) publicly, and they quarreled with the prophets and denied them, and even killed them. Moreover, every time Allah (swt) accepted their repentance and pardoned them, they returned to the do the same of what they had done because of the blindness in their hearts.

Here come successive verses related to Christianity:

will they grieve.)

There are two other verses in the Holy Qur’an which are somehow similar to this one but there is a little difference:

 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالنَّصَارَىٰ وَالصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

(Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] – those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness – will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.) (Al-Baqara: 62)

 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالصَّابِئِينَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ وَالْمَجُوسَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ 

(Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allah – Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, over all things, Witness.) (Al-Hajj: 17)

Let’s put the three verses and analyze them in order to understand the Qur’anic meanings. Here is the verse of our study in Surat Al-Ma’idah: “Sabeans” came before “Christians”, while in the verse of Surah (Al-Baqarah) “Christians” came before “Sabeans”. The syntax rule is broken in the Arabic word of “Sabeans” in the verse of our study to pay the attention that they are not with those Jews, Christians and Muslims. “Sabeans” are a sect who were following the religion of Noah (PBUH) then they deviated and worshiped the planets and angels. Hence the Sabeans have another subject. So Allah (swt) requires them to return to faith and do righteous deeds. Hence this verse is a purification of faith and the speech here is directed to those who believe just by their tongues and not in action. It is not enough to believe in Allah (swt) and the Last Day only; rather, I must not lie, nor cheat, nor bribe, nor kill or loot, and have to remove harm from the way and initiate with the salutation of peace, and possess all good morals, and do righteous deeds. As for the verse in Surat Al-Hajj, Allah (swt) adds the Magians (who worshipped the fire) and those who associated with Allah.  For this, its end is not like the conclusions of the other two verses in Surat Al-Baqarah, and in Surah Al-Maida, for the sake of suiting the meaning. Thereof, syntax changes according to the meaning.

(… وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا ۖ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ…) (…And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people …): That is, everything that has been revealed to the Prophet (saws) from the Holy Qur’an increased the Jews but in disbelief, tyranny, anger, hatred, envy and conspiracy against the Prophet (saws). So Allah (swt) asks him (saws) not to be sad or taken aback by their disbelief, because they are the ones who chose the disbelief.

The Messenger’s mission is to announce what has revealed to him from Allah (swt), thus when Allah (swt) says:

(… يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ) (O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord …): That is, keep announcing no matter how much they hurt you, no matter how much they wronged you, and no matter how much they fought you.

(… وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ …) (…and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message …): The message cannot be divided, so we take from it what we want and leave what we do not want. The fault for Muslims in the world is that they deal with the Holy Qur’an according to their interests; they take the permissible and left what is obligatory; for example, it is permissible for a man to marry more than one woman, but the obligation is to be justice and not harm his first wife, likewise when someone inherits, he immediately asks for his share, while he forgets that he has orphaned siblings, and he has to spend on them.

(… وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ …) (…And Allah will protect you from the people …): ‘Aishah narrated that:

“The Prophet (saws) was being guarded until this Ayah was revealed: ‘Allah will protect you from the people.’ So the Messenger of Allah (saws) stuck his head out from the room and said: ‘O you people! Go away, for Allah shall protect me.'”[1]

The Prophet (saws) used to bear the harm, but no one could kill him or prevent him from fulfilling the Message. And this verse is the greatest evidence that the Holy Qur’an is from Allah (swt) and not from human; for how can the Prophet (saws) while he was facing a lot of enemies from the Jews, the hypocrites and the infidels of Quraish, then remained without guards?

(  إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ… ) (…Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people): Because they are infidels, so Allah (swt) does not guide them. Allah (swt) has revealed the heavenly messages to you so that you may believe and not be an infidel. We have two types of guidance: the guidance of directing; it is for all people, and the guidance of support for the believers. Hence, if you disbelieve by your choice, so Allah (swt) does not support you.

[1] Sunan at-Tirmidhi: The Explanation of Quran, Surah al-Maida, Hadith No. 3046.

(… لَأَكَلُوا مِن فَوْقِهِمْ …) (…they would have consumed [provision] from above them …): This does not only refer to food, rather this is a general and comprehensive expression. Meaning, they would receive good things from above, as the rain which comes down from the sky and waters the plants and the humans.

(… وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِم …) (…and from beneath their feet …): That is, from the earth and what comes out of such as minerals, gold, copper, petrol and plants. Hence, if man maintains the goodness and apply what Allah (swt) has sent, the provisions of life would come to him from what comes down from sky or comes up from earth. Allah (swt) made man able to remain without food for thirty days, and without water for three days, and without air for one breath, so it is possible for humans to monopolize food or water but as for air, no one can monopolize it except Allah (swt), so no one can say: I will withhold air from you.

(  مِّنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ… ) (…Among them are a moderate community): This is the law of probability maintenance, Allah (swt) says “Among them” not all them. Those are the ones who direct towards the right way which leads to the purpose.

In general, faith and piety are two things that go hand in hand, so it is not enough to say: I believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His Messengers, and you do not perform the demands of faith, so it is as Allah (swt) says:

 قَالَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا ۖ قُل لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَٰكِن قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَا يَلِتْكُم مِّنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

(The bedouins say, “We have believed.” Say, “You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”) (Al-Hujurat: 14)

Whenever faith is mentioned in the Holly Quran, it is accompanied with the righteous deed or the piety, otherwise the faith is not completely fulfilled, it is then just words by tongue.

When we say: The hand of Allah (swt), we know that any attribute that Allah (swt) mentions to us in the Holy Qur’an does not resemble any attribute in people, and we have to remember the saying of Allah (swt):

 لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ

(There is nothing like unto Him) (Ash-Shura: 11)

He is alive (swt) and you are alive, but there is nothing like unto Him, He is strong and you are strong, but there is nothing like unto Him, He has a hand and you have a hand, but there is nothing like unto Him, so never think that the hand known to us is what the verse is talking about, here it refers to the meaning of grace. So:

(… وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُ اللَّهِ مَغْلُولَةٌ ) (And the Jews say, “The hand of Allah is chained.”…): Meaning Allah’s blessings are forbidden, and in His (swt) saying:

 تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ

(Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion,) (Al-Mulk: 1)

Meaning, His (swt) power and strength, and it does not indicate the hand literally.

(… غُلَّتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ…) (…Chained are their hands …): That is, their hands are paralyzed. As known, supplication is a request, so does Allah (swt) ask Himself while He is the One Who answers the supplication? Definitely not, this sentence means that whoever says: “The hand of Allah is chained.”…) you have to say: Chained are their hands.

(… وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُوا …) (…and cursed are they for what they say …): They are fired from Allah’s mercy.

(… وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا …) (…And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief …): So, every time the Holy Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet (saws), they increased in disbelief, tyranny, hatred and envy for the Arab nation from which the Prophet (saws) came out.

(  وَأَلْقَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۚ كُلَّمَا أَوْقَدُوا نَارًا لِّلْحَرْبِ أَطْفَأَهَا اللَّهُ… ) (…And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it.): Enmity and hatred will remain between them until the Day of Resurrection. As if Allah (swt) says that every war that takes place in the earth, they are the ones who start it and create it.

 

The rabis and the religious scholars should have forbidden them from saying what is sinful and doing what is unlawful. Indeed, you can take the sayings and the opinions of any person who works in any field, such as a physicist, chemist, doctor, craftsman, merchant, farmer, and politician without taking into consideration his behavior, except for someone who has religious knowledge, it is not permissible for him to say to you:

Take my knowledge and do not be indifferent to my work,

reap the fruits and pick the aloes for the fire.

This is not acceptable; because the Prophet (saws) would not command anything unless he was the first to comply with it, so the issue is of behavior for those who carry the mission, if they are rabbis or scholars, so the one who calls to Allah (swt) should not say what he does not do. Hence, the rabis has not forbade the Jews from committing sins.

(  لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ… ) (…How wretched is what they have been practicing): Allah (swt) uses the word (practicing), not (doing) or saying) although when He (swt) addresses the believers He says:

 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

(O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?) (As-Saff: 2)

Because they did not only commit evil and devoured what is unlawful, rather they uttered sinful words so their act combines doing and saying.

 

(… وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ …) (…and the devouring of [what is] unlawful …): Meaning, any money that is taken unlawfully, such as bribery, theft, and by fraud.

were concealing.)

They used to come to the Prophet (saws) and the believers while their hearts were full of denial to the Prophet (saws) but Allah (swt) is the Most knowing of what they concealed of their hatred of Islam and the Prophet (saws).

(… مَن لَّعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ …) (…[It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry …): The Jews are cursed, meaning Allah (swt) expelled them from His mercy, and was angry with them after He expelled them. And anger means that the curse never removes from them, and it pursues them, for they are either those who transgressed on the Sabbath, or those who worshiped the calf, or those who denied and disbelieved in the Prophet Issa (Christ) (PBUH) after the table was sent down.

(… وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ …) (…and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut …): There are many opinions of the scholars about this verse: Some scholars said: Allah (swt) has transformed this group that truly worshipped the calf with their bodies, and other scholars said: They were transformed by their morals, and these morals are inherited; so because monkeys and pigs have no morals, they have the evil of beasts. And there is an opinion that: This group that worshiped the Taghut were actually transformed.

Allah (swt) is addressing the Prophet (saws) by saying (Say), as if He is addressing all the nation through him (saws).

(… قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ ) (“O People of the Scripture, …): Meaning, The Jews.

(… هَلْ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلُ …) (…do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before …): The Prophet (saws) said to Jews of Khaybar, Banu Qaynuqa’, Banu An-Nadir and the Jews who were present at that time: Do you resent us because we believed in the Messengers and the Books, the Torah, the Bible and the Psalms, and yet you hate this matter?

(  وَأَنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ فَاسِقُونَ … ) (…and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?): This is the law of probability maintenance; that is, not all of them, rather most of them. Verify, we are not against Judaism because of the Jews.
