Editing: Ale-Imran

Description <p><strong>Explanatory Note</strong></p> <p>In this passage, the Muslim community is told of the intentions of the people of earlier revelations behind every argument they may raise. The Qur’ān confronts those people with what they actually plot and scheme in close proximity to the Muslim community. Their masks are torn from them and their reality is made apparent to all.<br />  <br /> The grudge which the people of earlier revelations bear to the Muslim community relates to the faith of that community. They hate that the Muslims should have Divine guidance. They hate to see them holding to their own faith with firmness and reassurance. They, therefore, mobilise all their efforts to cause the Muslims to go astray<strong>: “A party of the people of earlier revelations<br /> would love to lead you astray.”</strong> It is, then, an inner desire which lies behind all their plotting, scheming, arguments and concealment of the truth. There is no doubt that such a desire, motivated by prejudice and grudge, is deviant. An evil desire cannot be based on any right guidance. Hence, the moment they entertain a desire to turn the Muslims away from their faith,<br /> they cause themselves to go astray. It is only a person who finds himself lost in a labyrinth of deviation that loves to lead astray those who are following a straight path:<strong> “But they lead astray none but themselves, although they may not perceive it.</strong>” <br />  <br /> The Muslims will come to no harm from what their enemies may scheme against them as long as they maintain and implement their faith. God guarantees them that the scheming and plotting of their enemies will be counter-productive as long as the Muslims hold on to their faith.</p>
