Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
Tafsir
Verse range: 5:68
"You have nothing to stand on"
Meaning: You are not upon a religion that can be relied upon, such that it might be called "something," due to its corruption and falsehood. It is like when you say, "This is nothing," intending to belittle it and diminish its status. In their proverbs, they say: "Less than nothing."
"So do not grieve"
Meaning: Do not feel sorrow for them on account of the increase in their tyranny and disbelief, for the harm of that returns to them, not to you. In the believers, there is sufficiency, and no need for them.
