Explanatory Note
This command is then repeated once more. Those who are untrue to their trust on whose behalf the Prophet spoke out are further described as false even to themselves. The logic behind this order is the fact that God does not love people who engage in sinful practices and who betray their trust. “And do not argue on behalf of those who are false to their own selves. Indeed God does not love those who betray their trust and persist in sinful action.” (Verse 107) “Indeed God does not love those who betray their trust and persist in sinful action.” (Verse 107) This is indeed a punishment far greater than any other punishment. It also gives a further impression whereby those whom God does not love cannot be defended by anyone. No one can take up their case when God dislikes them for their sin and treachery.
