وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ

Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 98:4
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 98:4] Refer to the commentary of Ali Imran: 19 and Nisa: 163 to 165. The people of the book were in a better position than the pagans to recognise the truth of Islam, because they had been prepared for the standard and eternal religion of Allah by the revelations sent down on their prophets; but, when the clear evidence came in the person and message of the Holy Prophet, they resisted it and belied it.
