PEOPLE:
47:38 - If ye turn back (from the Path) He will substitute in your stead another people; then they
would not be like you! 48644865
4864 Here the case of the special devotee and of the average man with his human foibles are distinguished. Stinginess is
not a virtue: it hurts more the finer-nature of the individual practising it that it hurts the Cause. Allah is free of all wants
and independent of any need that we can meet. His Cause is similarly independent of human aid. But it uses human
agency for our own human advancement. The need to be able to serve Allah's cause is ours. We are the needy
beggars who should claim the privilege before the Lord of Bounties unbounded. (47.38)
4865 If we desert the Cause, the Cause will not fail. Better men than we will uphold the flag. But we should fall, and others
will take our place, who are not so timid, half- hearted, or stingy. In Wordsworth's words, "High Heaven rejects the lore
of nicely calculated less or more." (47.38)
3:65- Ye people of the Book! why dispute ye about Abraham when the Law and the Gospel were
not revealed till after him? Have ye no understanding?
3:98 - Say: "O people of the Book! why reject ye the signs of Allah when Allah is Himself witness to
all ye do?
3:99 - Say: "O ye People of the Book! why obstruct ye those who believe from the path of Allah
seeking to make it crooked while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? But
Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do." 426
3:100 - O ye who believe! if ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book they would (indeed)
render you apostates after ye have believed!
3:113 - Not all of them are alike: of the People of the book are a portion that stand (for the right);
they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration. 437
437 In Islam we respect sincere faith and true righteousness in accordance with the Qur-An and Sunnah. This verse,
according to Commentators, refers to those People of the Book who eventually embraced Islam. (3.113)
4:47 - O ye people of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed confirming what was
(already) with you before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all
recognition and turn them hindwards or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers: for
the decision of Allah must be carried out. 567568
567 Literally, "before We obliterate some features (or faces) and turn them front to back (or back to front)": an Arabic
idiom, which must be translated freely to yield its proper meaning in English. The face is the chief expression of a
man's own real essence; it is also the index of his fame and estimation. The People of the Book had been specially
favoured by Allah with revelations. If they proved themselves unworthy, they lost their "face". Their eminence would,
owing to their own conduct, be turned into degradation. Others would take their place. The first shall be last and the
last shall be first: Matt. xix. 30. (4.47)
568 Cf. ii. 65 and n. 79. (4.47)
