(65) [1217]Had the People of the Book ˹truly˺ Believed and were Mindful, We would have surely absolved them of their misdeeds and admitted them into the Gardens of bliss[1218];
[1217] The crux of the matter and the essence of the difference is that the People of the Book were not humble enough to be able to see the Truth and purify their Faith, with the notable exception of those mentioned in Ayas 82-83 below. The Messenger of God (ﷺ) is urged to starkly lay this fact bare for them. This passage sums up much of the above. [1218] Paradise. (al-Ṭabarī, al-Saʿdī)
(66) and had they upheld the Torah and the Evangel and what was sent down to them from their Lord, they would have eaten ˹blissfully˺ from above them and from under their feet[1219]; among them there is an upright[1220] nation, yet many of them are vile indeed for what they commit.
[1219] God will bless those who devoutly follow His doctrines with plentiful provisions, rain and all sorts of produce which grows because of it (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī). This is a lasting promise of God’s: “Had the people of the towns Believed and been Mindful, We would surely have opened unto them blessings from Heaven and Earth” (7: 96); “I ˹Noah˺ said, “Ask forgiveness of your Lord: He is Ever-Forgiving. *He will send down abundant rain from the sky for you; *and He will support you with wealth and children, and make for you gardens and rivers”. (71: 10-12). [1220] Muqtaṣidah carrying out their duties without adding to or overlooking what is asked of them (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī). The word relates to iqtiṣād which is a state of being moderate, not going to extremes (cf. Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Kafawī, al-Kulliyāt).
(67) O Messenger, convey what came down to you from your Lord ˹fully˺[1221], but if you do not do ˹that˺, then you would have failed to deliver His Message; Allah will ˹certainly˺ shield you from people—surely Allah does not guide the Denying people[1222].
[1221] The Prophet (ﷺ) is urged to deliver the Message in full without holding any of it back out of fear of people or other worldly considerations (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). ʿĀ’ishah (i) said: “Whoever tells you that Muhammad (ﷺ) held back any part of what came down to him, then he surely lies ˹to you˺. ˹How so when˺ Allah says: “O Messenger, deliver what came down to you from your Lord ˹fully˺…” (al-Bukhārī: 4612). [1222] “Truly those for whom the Word of your Lord has come due will not Believe,*even if every Sign were to come to them—until they see the painful Punishment” (10: 96-97).
(68) Say ˹Muhammad˺: “People of the Book! You stand on no ˹solid˺ ground unless you uphold the Torah and the Evangel and what was sent down to you from your Lord; verily what was sent down to you ˹Muhammad˺ from your Lord will ˹only˺ increase many of them in rebellion and Denial[1223], so do not be grieved for the Denying people.
[1223] This sad fact is reasserted here after its first mention in 5: 64 above, so that the deliverer of the Message is prepared for their reaction, and so that it does not come any harder for him (ﷺ).
(69) Certainly, the Believers[1224], the Jews, the Sabians and the Christians whoever ˹truly˺ Believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good among them, they will have neither fear nor will they grieve[1225].
[1224] Among the followers of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr) [1225] This aya is almost a verbatim replica of Aya 2: 62. This applies to those who came before Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was sent. Thereafter, whoever seeks a religion other than Islam it will not be accepted from him and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers (2: 85), (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, Ibn ʿĀshūr). “The religion with Allah is Islam. The ones who were given the Book only differed after ˹true˺ knowledge came to them, out of transgression among themselves. Whoever Denies Allah’s Signs, then Allah is swift in reckoning. *If they argue with you ˹Muhammad˺, say: “I have devoutly submitted my face to Allah along with those who follow me”. Say to those who were given the Book and the illiterates: “Do you devoutly submit?” If they devoutly submit then they are guided, but if they turn away, then you are tasked with nothing more than delivering ˹the Message˺ and Allah is indeed All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants” (3: 19-20). Furthermore, Ibn ʿĀshūr opines that this aya is meant to show these people that the Door to God is easy to arrive at and that seeking refuge with Him is not beyond their reach, but they have to Believe, align themselves with the Believers and do good deeds.
(70) Indeed, We took the pledge of the Children of Israel[1226] and We sent them Messengers. Whenever a Messenger brought them that which was not to their liking, they declared false a party ˹of the Messengers˺ and another party they would kill.
