59. قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ هَلْ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ
أَنْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلُ
وَأَنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ

59. Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for
aught else than that we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us
and that which was revealed aforetime, and verily most of you are
evil-livers?

Commentary
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”.
Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) of Allah Almighty and care of 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 word,
due to which, you became our enemy. Any new thing, which can be seen into us,
is only that we have chosen Allah Almighty as our only Worshipped. We believe
in Him wholeheartedly and consider that Holy Qur’aan is His
true Scripture. As well as we believe in those all Scriptures, which were
revealed before it that those are true. Holy Qur’aan has also
declared that those Holy Books were true and it has kept their original
commands in order; either as those were or with a suitable change. Our duty is
to obey and act upon those commands. On the contrary, which new thing has been
observed into you; is that many people from you have become disobedient and
they have 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, Holy Qur’aan and obey their commandments. These are
two different matters which 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
Allah Almighty, then you should explain before us! Which is other reason of bad
relations among you and us?
If you will afflict us, then
all Just people will say only that the Jews and the Christians dislike the
Muslims because they serve and obey God Almighty.
