Al Baqarah

HR Background

بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِهٖۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ اَنْ یَّكْفُرُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بَغْیًا اَنْ یُّنَزِّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ عَلٰى مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖۚ-فَبَآءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ عَلٰى غَضَبٍؕ-وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ(90)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

How evil is that for which they sold their souls, rejecting what Allah sent down,[1] resentful that Allah, with His Grace, sends[2] down revelation upon whomsoever He wills among His chosen people—so these people became deserving of wrath upon wrath, and there is humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.

Commentary

[1]

Disbelief instead of faith, sin instead of good, disobedience instead of obedience, and the wrath of Allah Almighty instead of His pleasure are most unfavourable trades.

[2]

Seeking authority and a worldly rank creates jealousy in the heart; jealousy is an evil disease which can even lead to disbelief.
