14. And with those who say: “Lo! We are Christians,” We
made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished.
And therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of
Resurrection. And Allah will
inform them of their handiwork.

Commentary
Nasaaraaa-
either this word has come out from nasar, which means “to help”,
if so, then it means “the helper, the supporter”, or it has a relation with Naasirah,
which is name of a village in Syria, where Prophet Christ (peace be upon Him) used
to live, and due to this reason, He (peace be upon Him) is called Messiah Nasrii.
In view of this illustration, Nasaaraaa means
‘The believers of Messiah (peace be upon Him), Who belonged to Naasirah’.
‘AgrayNaa – (We stirred up), it is from ‘agraaa,
which means “to induce, to incite, to create, to apply, to put to work”.
Yunabbi-‘u- (to
inform), it has been made from nabaaa-‘a, which means “the
news”. It aims that Allah Almighty will
inform them.
Yasna-‘uun – (that, what they used to do),
it is from san-‘at, which means “to make something,
to do any work”.
In this verse, there is mention
about the Christians. Allah Almighty commands here, “We made a covenant
with them because they had believed in Prophet Jesus (peace be upon Him) and it
was their covenant that they would obey Him (peace be upon Him). But
afterwards, they broke the covenant too and like the Jews, they also became
disobedient. They forgot fundamental commandments out of those, which were
revealed for them in the New Testament (the Gospel), and changed its words and
meanings in accord with their own desires, so they were deprived of their
advantages. The biggest information into those commandments was, “after the
Prophet Christ (peace be upon Him), the Last Apostle of Allah Almighty
(Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) will come in the
world. You should help Him and obey Him wholeheartedly”. But they removed His
name and entire description about Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) from their Scripture.
It has been told in this verse,
“It is the result of forgetting the original teachings of the Scripture that if
a person said anything, the other said against it. This mutual contradiction
increased so much that they became enemies of one another. On one side, enmity
among the Jews and the Christians was produced, secondly, the Jews themselves
were opponents mutually of each other, and on the other side, different sects
of the Christians began to fight against one another.
Mutual cooperation can be produced
only by acting upon the original commandments of the Scripture. The Scriptures
held with the Jews and the Christians, are not in their original form.
Therefore, they will be fighting always until the end of this world, because
now, there is nothing remained to settle their mutual conflicts. Now there is
no way of their becoming conscious except that they would have to believe in
Holy Qur’aan,
the Last Scripture.
