[80] And Allah -azwj Says...

[80] And Allah -azwj Says: They attribute those words to Him which He does not approve. Those who took over the reigns of government, after Prophet Mohammed -saww , were keen to support the unjust, similar to the followers of Moses -as and Jesus -as , who doctored the Bible and Torah by removing the verses from their places. They intend to put out the light of Allah with their mouths but Allah will perfect His light, though the unbelievers may not like it.

[81] Meaning, even if non-believers are uncomfortable with the revelation of ‘Haq’ [82] , Allah -azwj still Wants to make it clear, however, they tried their best to prove (their perspective) from the Book even though Allah -azwj did not reveal it according to their liking, but they succeeded in creating difference of opinion(s) among the masses.

Thus, Allah -azwj destroyed them spiritually, and they were compelled to abandon what they had innovated and disclosed their lies, identified hypocrites along with their traps and devious plans. That’s why Allah -azwj Says: Do not pollute ‘Haq’ with disbelief and their example is quoted by Allah -azwj as: Foam dries out at the surface but what really gives benefit to others is that which seeps into the earth.

[83] In this verse the meanings of ‘FeeZahab’ are the words of those non-believers, which they wanted to implant in the Quran. Thus, these actions would make Quran infirm and unjustifiable and so that finally it would be rejected upon being critically analysed. What would really benefit, the masses, is the Divine Light (Wali -asws ), which can never be eradicated by the unjust forces, and hearts and minds can never fully comprehend His -azwj (Wali).

The word ‘filarz’ (in the above verse) refers to accepting the source of knowledge and adhering to it. It is inappropriate to disclose the names of those who have executed the changes (in the Book), even in this time of wider observation of ‘Taqayya’ [84] or to add Verses in Quran, in response to, negate what they have omitted from the Quran.

This is due to the fact that, by doing so, will only strengthen the criticism and allegation of the non-believers and hypocrites’, along with those who reject our Deen. Both Momineen and monafiqeen are reluctant to ponder any further on this issue, as eventually, those are exposed who have modified the Quran.
