Description <p><strong>Explanatory Notes</strong></p> <p>The sūrah continues with its education of the Muslims about the Israelites by saying that they fall into two groups. The first is the ignorant, illiterate masses who have no knowledge or understanding of the Scriptures, who live by superstition and wishful thinking, and who presume that the Jews will gain eternal salvation, on the fallacious grounds of being God’s ‘Chosen People’, whose sins are forgiven and deliverance guaranteed.</p> <p>The second group is those who exploit this ignorance and distort the Scriptures for material gain and in order to further and safeguard their own ambitions, power and influence.</p> <ul> <li><big>(<strong>إلا أماني</strong> تلاوة بغير فهم. <a href="http://altadabbur.com/source?query=%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%AC%D8%B2%D9%8A" target="_blank">ابن جزي: 1/72</a> [Be the first to translate this...]</big></li> <li><big>هذه صفة من لا يفقه كلام الله، ويعمل به، وإنما يقتصر على مجرد تلاوته، كما قال الحسن البصري: نزل القرآن ليعمل به؛ فاتخذوا تلاوته عملا. <a href="http://altadabbur.com/source?query=%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%AA%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9" target="_blank">ابن تيمية: 1/247</a> [Be the first to translate this...]</big></li> </ul> <p><strong><big>Practical Lessons</big></strong></p> <ul> <li><big> ابدأ اليوم ببرنامج في فهم آيات القرآن من خلال قراءة أحد التفاسير الميسرة؛ لتكون ممن فهم كلام الله تعالى، ﴿ وَمِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّآ أَمَانِىَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ [Be the first to translate this...]</big></li> </ul>
