Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

160. So, because of the wrongdoing of the Jews and for their hindering many from the way of Allah [209], We made unlawful for them certain good things which had been lawful [210] for them.

The Inventors of Misguiding Systems are the Jews:
The series of evil deeds by the Jews continues further. The crime mentioned in this verse is that they neither believe themselves nor let others believe; rather, when someone is inclined to believe, they create various doubts and suspicions in his mind and prevent him from the path of Allah. And this series is not only related to the Prophetic era ﷺ, but it seems that this misfortune has been destined for these Jews until the Day of Judgment. In the present age, the founder of the philosophy of communism was a Jew, and it was Jewish minds that shaped it into a system. The foundation of this ideology is based on the outright denial of Allah Almighty. Another misleading philosophy of today is that of Sigmund Freud, who greatly promoted obscenity and shamelessness, and this Freud was also an individual from the Children of Israel.
[210] One punishment for such crimes was that such misfortune was imposed upon their hearts that they are not willing to listen to the truth, and another punishment was that some foods and drinks which were previously lawful for them were made unlawful.
