Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

with them: In other words, they are not Jews, but deniers.
Their recklessness on the subject of the Sabbath confirms this.
One characteristic of these people is that in addition to being deniers,
they constantly make trouble for the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and sin-
cere Jews. That is why they are worthy of contempt.

Another notable fact here is that in the verse immediately before
these, sincere Jews and Christians are praised and given glad

tidings for the hereafter:

Those with faith, those who are Jews,
and the Christians and Sabaeans, all

who have faith in God and the Last Day

and act rightly, will have their reward
with their Lord. They will feel no fear

and will know no sorrow. (Qur'an, 2:62)

As we have seen, sincere Jews and Christians are regarded as
deserving of praise in the Qur'an. Muslims will also love those
whom God loves. In addition to being an obligation, that is also a
natural feeling in the heart and conscience. For that reason, as is
repeated many times in the Qur'an, and as is required by these vers-

es, Muslims must love and protect Christians and Jews and treat
them with affection. As can clearly be seen, God makes no distinc-
tion between sincere Jews and Christians and sincere Muslims in
these verses. This verse eliminates all hostility toward the People of

the Book.
