(99) قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَأَنتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
99. " Say: ' O' People of the Book! Why do you obstacle those who believe from the way of Allah seeking to make it crooked, while you are witnesses ? But Allah is not heedless of what you do ? "
Commentary:
In the previous verse the question was about the infidelity of the People of the Book. In this holy verse, besides criticizing against their former behaviour, they are questioned if they do not believe themselves and disbelieve in the Signs of Allah, by what reason they hinder others to pave the path of Allah. But they should know that Allah is never heedless of what they do.
