يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O People of the Book! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth while you know [it]?
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 3:71
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 3:71] The Jews and the Christians knew the truth about the unity of God (Exodus: 20: 1 to 4; Deut 6: 4; Isaiah 42: 8; 44: 6; 45: 5, 18, 21, 22; 48:12; (1) Corinthians 8: 4, 6; Esphesians 4: 5, 6) and the promised advent of the Holy Prophet (Acts 3: 22 to 24; Deut 18: 18,19; John 14: 16, 17, 26; 16: 7 to 14) mentioned in their own books, yet they deliberately confounded the truth with falsehood. Also refer to the commentary of al Baqarah: 40,41, 42.
