The status of the people of the Book before Islaam – 3

Posted by: bb  Catagory: General


The status of the people of the Book before Islaam – 3:


2) Allaah said: { And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will inform them of what they used to do }


Allaah said that, just like He took the covenant from the Jews, He also took the covenant { from those who call themselves Christians }, meaning: those who claimed to follow Issa (SAAWS).


So what did they do?


Allaah said: { they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them }, meaning: they breached the covenant as well.  They abandoned both the text that was sent to them and abandoned acting upon it.


So, what did Allaah punish them with?


Allaah said: { So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred }.  This means that they were divided into many groups and sects, and that every group believes that the other groups are deviated (or even disbelievers).  This resulted in a lot of hatred and enmity amongst them.  This enmity and hatred will last, as Allaah said, { till the Day of Resurrection }.


This was their punishment in this life when they discarded Allah's Book, disobeyed His Messengers (SAAWS) and His Orders, and transgressed beyond bounds in Allah's disobedience.


They attributed to Allaah a son and a (female) companion, and claimed that Allaah is one of three, while Allaah said: { Say: "He is Allaah, the One.  Allaah the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.  The One who does NOT beget, nor was begotten.  The One that there is no equal to } [Surat Al-Ikhlaas].


Allaah is not like His creation.  He is the Self-Sufficient; He does not need a son or a companion.  All of His creations need Him.  And, if He wants to forgive His servants, He can just do it.  { Surely, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is } [Ya-Seen (82)].  There is no need for someone to be tortured or killed for Allaah to forgive His servants.


Allaah continues to say, regarding those who call themselves Christians, that in the Afterlife, { Allah will inform them of what they used to do }, and then punish them for it.


So, in those three verses, Allaah described the status of the people of the Book before Islaam, and how He took the covenant from them.  He told us how they, except for a few of them, breached their covenant.  This prepares for what is to come in the coming verses.


To be continued, if Allaah wills.
