Error at the price of guidance
Surah
‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْعَذَابَ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ فَمَآأَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ (175)
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَفِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍ (176)

175. Those are they who purchase error
at the price of guidance, and torment at the price of pardon. How constant
are they in their strife to reach the Fire!
176. That is because Allah hath
revealed the Scripture with the truth. And those who find (a cause of)
disagreement in the Scripture; are in open schism.

Commentary
The people, who hide
the truth and sell the religion for a few coins, reality of their business has
been described in this verse. They deem individually that they have collected
the wealth; selling the Truth; earned the world, collected goods of pleasure
and did very good business. But Holy Qur’an
describes that in fact. they have lost everything in this business, they have
purchased error at the cost of guidance, forgot the straight path and chose the
cursed way, took shelter in darkness leaving the Light, liked depravity instead
of Faith, this world instead of the Day of Resurrection, and torment at the
cost of pardon. Which business will be more harmful and injurious than it?
Those people achieved casual gains and did not care for that comfortable life
which will be for ever.
It is a very big sin
to hide the truth, to color falsely to the commandments of God Almighty, to
deal in selling the Right. Punishment of this wicked deed is very much painful.
We should learn from the misdeeds of the Children of Israel so that
we may save ourselves from the sins/evildoing.
Why
did this all happen? Hence God Almighty revealed the Right/Just but they
opposed it. If there would be any lawful reason then it were right, but they
did not believe in the Truth due to only adversity and religious persecution.
They were prepared to contradict for enmity and opposed instead of cooperation.
They supposed racial and family inheritance also to the religion. They turned
their faces from the last Messenger (May glory, grace, blessings and peace
be upon Him) of God Almighty; only due to the reason that He (glory,
grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) was from the Children of Ishmael
(peace be upon Him) and was not one from the Children of Israel (peace be upon
Him), although they both were Children of the same Forefather - Prophet Abraham
(peace be upon Him).
