Asking for a signal triumph over disbelievers
Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful

89. And when there cometh
unto them a Scripture from Allah, confirming that which is in their
possession—though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over
those who disbelieve—and when there cometh unto them that which they know (to
be true) they disbelieve therein. So the curse of Allah is on disbelievers.

Commentary
Kitaabum-min ‘in-Dillaahi – (a Scripture
from Allah), here the word Kitaab signifies towards the Holy Qur’an, first address of which was also
for the Jews in stead of the Infidels of Makkah.
Majority of these people was living in Madinah.
Limaa ma-‘ahum – (that, which
is in their possession), the aim from it is Torah, the Heavenly Book of the
Jews. Holy Qur’an has mentioned its virtues at various
places and proclaimed that this Scripture “Qur’an” is
also a True Book of Allah Almighty; it confirms other previous Heavenly
Scriptures. Out of the previous Books the most famous Book is Torah, which was
revealed on Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him).
Yastafti-huuna (they were
asking for a signal triumph) this word has been derived from the word Fatah. According to Arabic
language, it means “wish of superiority and victory”. In this verse, its both
meanings can be taken. Before the manifestation of Last Messenger Muhammad
(grace, glory, peace and blessings be upon Him), whenever the Children of
Israel were defeated by the natives of Madinah, at that time, they used
to pray from Allah Almighty for victory and help, for the sake of Last
Messenger (grace, glory, peace and blessings be upon Him). This matter had been
included in their trust that the Last Prophet (grace, glory, peace and
blessings be upon Him) would come to set them free. They would get freedom
after believing in Him (grace, glory, peace and blessings be upon Him).
When a Scripture, which was revealed by
Allah Almighty unto the Jews, in which; verification of the principles of the
Divine law of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) did exist, then those people
disbelieved, and for which Last Messenger (grace, glory, peace and blessings be
upon Him) they had been waiting, and for the sake of whom they used to pray for
victory against the Infidels, when He, Known Prophet (grace, glory, peace and
blessings be upon Him) came unto them; they began to disbelieve in Him (grace,
glory, peace and blessings be upon Him). Now those disbelievers have been
cursed by God Almighty due to their infidelity. And they became victim of God’s
wrath.
It appears from this statement that the Jews belong to a bigoted
and jealous nation, so they have been cursed and put away from the Mercy of God
Almighty due to their prejudice and infidelity.
