2:76

Salaam all,

This is 2:76
وَإِذَا لَقُو ْا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَالُواْ آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلاَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ قَالُواْ أَتُحَدِّثُونَهُم بِمَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُحَآجُّوكُم بِهِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ
Transliteration:
Wa-itha laqoo allatheena amanooqaloo amanna wa-itha khalabaAAduhum ila baAAdin qaloo atuhaddithoonahumbima fataha Allahu AAalaykum liyuhajjookumbihi AAinda rabbikum afala taAAqiloona

Note:
The Aya says “And if they (Israelites) meet/receive the ones who made selves safe (in GOD), they (Israelites) said: We made selves safe. And if they freed their company but for each other they said: Do you inform them (mumins) of happenings that GOD opened (made available) on you, so that they will contest you on it’s truths at your nurturer? Don’t you knot knowledge?”

My personal note:
This Aya is talking about the interesting relationship between the mumins and some of the Israelites (jews and may be Christians as well) that they had contact with. It talks about a group that meets the mumins and says that they believe in what they muslims believe in, while when with each other they debate that they should not share their knowledge of the book (bible) for fear that the Mumins will contest them on the truths in it.

This Aya talks about some of the issues that some Israelites find themselves in. The main issue is how to deal with this new religion that shares some of their own beliefs and understandings, yet also challenges it. The challenge comes because this new religion provides newer understandings.
