Surah Al-A'raaf (7) — Ayah 168

(Ayah 168) ➊ { وَ قَطَّعْنٰهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اُمَمًا:} So that no collective strength could come into existence for them. That is why the Jews are scattered throughout the world in fragments, and wherever they live, due to their usury and activities and espionage against that country, they become the target of hatred. Then, their desire for superiority and their schemes to seize the wealth and government of the world have come before the world in the form of the Jewish Protocols. They have been expelled and massacred from Britain, France, Germany, and many other countries. Now, although as a reward for betrayal against Germany, with the support of Britain and America, they have been embedded in the heart of the Arabs in the form of the dagger of Israel, yet their real strength is still America, Britain, and others. Even after gathering here, instead of refraining from oppression and tyranny, they are inflicting indescribable atrocities upon the Palestinian Arabs. Allah Almighty knows best what will be the outcome of this delay in their reckoning, for there is delay, but not injustice.

➋ { مِنْهُمُ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَ مِنْهُمْ دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ:} Some of them are righteous, that is, those who believed in the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), or like those who refrained from fishing on the Sabbath. See Al-Imran (113 to 115). And some are other than them, that is, not righteous but wicked and evil-doers, such as those who consume unlawful wealth through usury, bribery, and other means, and those who even killed the Prophets, and those who, despite recognizing the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), opposed him.

➌ { وَ بَلَوْنٰهُمْ بِالْحَسَنٰتِ وَ السَّيِّاٰتِ … : } Sometimes He gave them comfort and ease, and sometimes afflicted them with hardship; likewise, sometimes He granted prosperity, sometimes subjected them to poverty and hunger, so that they might desist, that is, seek forgiveness for their sins and act upon the commandments of the Torah. Shah Abdul Qadir (may Allah have mercy on him) says: “When the wealth of the Jews was disrupted, due to mutual opposition they dispersed everywhere and various sects emerged. These conditions are narrated to this Ummah so that all this will also happen to them. In the hadith it is stated that some in this Ummah will become monkeys and pigs. May Allah protect from misguidance.” (Mawdhih) This hadith is in Bukhari, it is stated: [ وَ يَمْسَخُ آخَرِيْنَ قِرَدَةً وَ خَنَازِيْرَ إِلٰی يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ] [ بخاری، الأشربہ، باب ما جاء فیمن یستحل الخمر… : ۵۵۹۰ ] “And He will transform many of them into monkeys and pigs until the Day of Resurrection.”

168. 1. In this, there is mention of the division of the Jews into different groups, the mention of some among them being righteous, and the explanation that they are tested in both ways so that perhaps they may refrain from their actions and turn towards Allah.

168. And We divided them throughout the earth into separate groups [170]. Among them are righteous people, and others are otherwise. And We tested them with good and bad circumstances so that they might return (to Allah).

The Character of the Ancestors of the Jews:

That is, the Jews were afflicted with the punishment of division (in which Muslims are also afflicted nowadays), due to which the reputation of the nation is destroyed. The unity of the Ummah is shattered and in the eyes of the world, they become insignificant. That is why Allah Almighty has declared sectarianism as a permanent type of punishment [نيز سورة انعام كي آيت نمبر 65 كا حاشيه ملاحظه فرمائيے]
