Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (But it is the disbelievers who are in denial)]
We have reached the words of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in Surat al-Buruj: [al-Buruj: 19-20] .
His statement: (Those who disbelieved) includes everyone who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, whether they are from the polytheists, or from the Jews, or from the Christians, or from others. This is because the Jews and Christians today, after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), are not upon a religion, and their religions do not benefit them; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets, so whoever does not believe in him is not upon any religion. Indeed, it has been mentioned to us previously that whoever does not believe in one of the messengers is a disbeliever in all the messengers.For example: Whoever does not believe that Noah was a messenger, even if he believes in the other prophets, is a denier of all the prophets.And the evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted: [al-Shu'ara: 105] Thus, Allah made it clear that these people denied all the messengers, even though they had only denied one messenger; for there was no messenger before Noah.
Likewise, whoever denies Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a denier of the other messengers.
If the Jews claim that they are upon a religion and that they follow the Torah brought by Moses,We say to them: you are disbelievers in Moses, disbelievers in the Torah.
And if the Christians—who call themselves Christians today—claim that they believe in Jesus,We told them: you have lied; you are disbelievers in Jesus; for you are disbelievers in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
And the wonder is that these Jews and Christians disbelieve in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) even though they [al-A'raf: 157] and [al-Baqarah: 146] their sons; but stubbornness, arrogance, and envy prevented them from believing in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) [al-Baqarah: 109] .
The result is that the words of Allah the Exalted: (But those who disbelieved) includes everyone who disbelieved in Muhammad, including the Jews and Christians.Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (By Him in whose hand is my soul, no one from this Ummah—Meaning: the Ummah of the Call—Jew or Christian, hears of me and then does not believe in what I have brought, except that he will be among the companions of the Fire) .
All the disbelievers [al-Buruj: 19] ,And he said: (in denial) He made denial their state,Meaning: that it surrounds them from every side—seeking refuge in Allah.
We have reached the words of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in Surat al-Buruj:
(19) But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, (20) While Allah encompasses them from behind.
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ * وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌHis statement: (Those who disbelieved) includes everyone who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, whether they are from the polytheists, or from the Jews, or from the Christians, or from others. This is because the Jews and Christians today, after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), are not upon a religion, and their religions do not benefit them; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets, so whoever does not believe in him is not upon any religion. Indeed, it has been mentioned to us previously that whoever does not believe in one of the messengers is a disbeliever in all the messengers.For example: Whoever does not believe that Noah was a messenger, even if he believes in the other prophets, is a denier of all the prophets.And the evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
The people of Noah denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَLikewise, whoever denies Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a denier of the other messengers.
If the Jews claim that they are upon a religion and that they follow the Torah brought by Moses,We say to them: you are disbelievers in Moses, disbelievers in the Torah.
And if the Christians—who call themselves Christians today—claim that they believe in Jesus,We told them: you have lied; you are disbelievers in Jesus; for you are disbelievers in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
And the wonder is that these Jews and Christians disbelieve in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) even though they
whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them
يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوباً عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنْ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمْ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالأَغْلالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْknow him as they know their own sons
يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْMany of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them
وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّاراً حَسَداً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّThe result is that the words of Allah the Exalted: (But those who disbelieved) includes everyone who disbelieved in Muhammad, including the Jews and Christians.Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (By Him in whose hand is my soul, no one from this Ummah—Meaning: the Ummah of the Call—Jew or Christian, hears of me and then does not believe in what I have brought, except that he will be among the companions of the Fire) .
All the disbelievers
