Say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"
Tafsir
Verse range: 5:59
Referring to the Jews and Christians in: أَكْثَرَكُمْ فَاسِقُونَ (most of you are sinners) at the end of the first verse, ` most' - not ` all'- of them have been declared to be outside the fold of Faith. The reason for this is that they did have people among them who remained believers under all conditions. Before the coming of the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم all they followed the injunctions of the Torah and Injil and believed in them. When the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) came and the Qur'an was revealed, they believed in him too and started following the injunctions of the Qur'an.
