Sura al-Jumu'a: Difference between revisions

The verse is a Quranic proverb concerning the Jews of the Prophet's time who refused to convert to Islam notwithstanding explicit notes in their scripture regarding the [[prophethood]] of the Prophet of Islam (s). The verse describes them as non-practical scholars (those who do not act upon what they know). According to some [[hadith]]s, they claimed that they were not addressed by Muhammad's religion. Thus, the Qur'an reminded them that they would not say so had they carefully read their scripture and acted upon it, because their scripture contains the good tidings of the emergence of the Prophet of Islam (s).
