COMMENTARY
|
| 11 And when
it is said to them : Do not make mischief in the earth (by sowing
the seeds of dissension among different parties, and do not burn your
own house to frighten the mice), they (having two faces under
one hat) say : Verily we are in fact peacemakers (especially
between the Muslims and the Jewish rabbis). |
| 12 Is it not
(a fact) that they themselves are the mischief-makers (making
evil designs against the Muslims, and considering themselves sages
though fools to others)? But they do not perceive (it). |
|
13
And when it is said to them (the halfhearted ones who are
fooling away their time in building castles in the air): Believe
as (most of) the people (of Madinah) believe, they
(being under the impression that the Muslims would soon be wiped
out of existence, and thus by living in their fools paradise put
the fool on the Believers, and) say : Shall we believe as the
fools have believed (and are undergoing all sorts of sufferings
and making sacrifices for the sake of their religion)? Is it
not (a fact) that surely they (the ill-doers being ill-thinkers)
are themselves (ill-furnished in the attic storey, and so
are) the fools ? But they do not know (it).
|
| 14 And when
they meet those who believe, they say : We believe. But when they
are alone with their Evil-ones (i.e. their evil-companions, 2:36),
they (like hunting with the hound and running with the hare)
say : We are really with you, we by ourselves were only mocking
(at the Believers). |
| 15 Allah (on
the other hand) throws back the mockery (like a boomerang)
on them (42:40), and leaves them along in their trespasses
blindly wandering on (helter-skelter). |
