Seeing its astonishing efficacy, ignorant people began to confuse its effects with the miracles of the prophets, and to suppose that the two were identical in nature.
*Some even looked upon magicians as being holy men, and worthy of being obeyed;*
-still others actually started learning and practicing black magic as if it were a good deed bearing a divine sanction.
*In order to eradicate this misunderstanding, Allah ﷻ sent down two angels Harut and Marut.*.

The angels informed the people the true nature of magic and its different forms, so that they should distinguish it from the miracles of prophets and keep away from obeying magicians and practicing magic themselves.
*They explained the basic principles of magic, its different forms and the specific formulas,* *and then dissuaded the people from involving in these activities or with the magicians.* *They insisted on making it quite clear that in allowing them to provide this kind of information to the people, Allah ﷻ intended to put His servants through a trial.*.

Allah ﷻ says, 
*“But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah"*. 
▪ _Mufti Muhammad Shafi ‘Usmani writes that this shows us that causes in themselves and by themselves cannot produce the effects one usually associates with them. It is Allah ﷻ who creates the effects as much as the causes. Allah ﷻ allows magicians to adversely affect whomever He wills and saves whomever He wills from them. Sorcerers never bring harm to anyone except by Allah’s leave.

▪ When someone is tested in their life, they blame it on their relatives or anyone who ‘they think’ is their enemy.
▪ In the ayah, Allah ﷻ  informs us that nobody can harm us unless He wills that we be harmed.
*Why would He will that we be harmed?*.
It is to test us and to see our reaction. What words come out of our mouth? What opinion we hold about others? How impure our hearts and minds are (that we will think ill of someone)?.
_It is also because of our own doing. Perhaps, we have distanced from Allah ﷻ?.

Seek refuge with Allah ﷻ from the inciting of the devil. Remember that if you maintain good ties with Allah ﷻ  then He will not let you go.
May Allah ﷻ protect us all, ameen.

*“And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them,”*
learning magic harms one’s religion and brings no benefit compared to the harm that it causes.
Those who engage in magic will have no share in the Hereafter.
*“And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew,”..
 they preferred magic over faith and following the Messenger.
__*PAGE 6*__.  *Let's continue on how this verse came about*👇🏻.                                       Al-Baqara : 113

*وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصٰرٰى عَلٰى شَىْءٍ وَقَالَتِ النَّصٰرٰى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلٰى شَىْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتٰبَ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ۚ فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ*

*The Jews say "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ*.

_Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Ibn ‘Abbas radhiAllahu ‘anhu said,_
“When a delegation of Christians from Najran came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ  the Jewish rabbis came and began arguing with them before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
▪ Rafi’ bin Huraymilah said, ‘You do not follow anything,’ and he reiterated his disbelief in Jesus and the Injeel (Gospel).
▪ Then a Christian man from Najran’s delegation said to the Jews, ‘Rather, you do not follow anything,’ and he reiterated his rejection of Musa’s [Moses] prophethood and his disbelief in the Torah.
____*PAGE 8*____.
✍️...

*So, Allah ﷻ revealed this ayah.”*
▪ _Ibn Katheer writes that Allah ﷻ made it clear that each party read the affirmation of what they claimed to reject in their Book.
*Consequently, the Jews disbelieve in Jesus, even though they have the Torah in which Allah ﷻ took their Covenant by the tongue of Moses to believe in Jesus.* *Also, the Gospel contains Jesus’ assertion that Moses’ prophethood and the Torah came from Allah ﷻ*
_Yet, each party disbelieved in what the other party had.
▪ Allah ﷻ says that He will decide on the Day of Judgment who is on the right religion and who has gone astray.

▶️ *These ayaat provide a warning to the Muslims as well.*
_Merely, being born in a Muslim family or embracing Islam does not mean you have got your confirmed ticket to the Paradise.
Sincere belief in and submission to Allah ﷻ and righteous deeds that conform to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are mandatory.
▶️ _Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani writes in his Maarif-ul-Qur’an:
_*Muslims have no right to hope for these rewards until and unless they submit themselves totally, in thought and deed both, to the commandments of Allah ﷻ and His Prophet ﷺ*.

. *Let's continue on this verse*👇🏻.                           Al-Baqara : 114

*وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسٰجِدَ اللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُۥ وَسَعٰى فِى خَرَابِهَآ ۚ أُولٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِى الدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى الْءَاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ*

*And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment*
