▪ Note that the  word masjid [mosque] in the ayah is not limited to a Muslim mosque.
_Rather, it encompasses all places of worship whether it be a mosque, synagogue or church.
▪In order to understand the ayah one should keep in mind three different incidents connected with the three groups, all of which were in one way or another guilty of preventing people from worshiping Allah ﷻ in mosques.
_*🔹. When Allah ﷻ commanded the Muslims to turn toward the Ka’abah in their Salah and not Bayt Al-Maqdis [Jerusalem]...*

*_..the Jews raised objections, and tried to create doubts in the minds of the Muslims about Islam and Muhammad  ﷺ. _Had the Muslims heeded to the objections, they would have given up their Salah, thus leaving mosques empty.*_
_*🔹. The Romans had once invaded Jerusalem, and the ignorant among them had polluted the Bayt Al-Maqdis.*
_This prevented the Jews from performing their prayer in their mosque. .....It pleased the Christians who in a way looked upon the Romans as their ancestors.
_Thus, in refusing to condemn this misdeed of the Romans, the Christians too were responsible for leaving the mosques empty.

_*🔹. At the time of Hudaybiyyah, the Mushrik [polytheists] did not allow the Prophet ﷺ  to enter Makkah and to perform Hajj.*_So, this group too was guilty of the same sin._ *The Prophet ﷺ said, “No one before has ever prevented people from entering the House. One would even see the killer of his father and brother, but would not prevent him (from entering the House of Allah).”*_The idolators said, “Whoever killed our fathers at Badr, shall never enter it while there is one of us alive.”_They made Masjid Al-Haram exclusive for their idols and polytheism.
▪ Allah ﷻ revealed this ayah and chastised those who hinder people from entering His House and work to desecrate it.

▪ *“…and strive for their ruin… [وَسَعَىٰ فِي خَرَابِهَا]”* means hindering people from entering the mosques
_*Through this ayah, Allah ﷻ lays down a permanent law for all people. It is not permissible to desecrate mosques and hinder people from the remembrance of Allah ﷻ*
▪ Whoever does this is unjust and cruel. For him, there is humiliation in this world and dire punishment in the next.
▪ It is from the etiquette of mosques that one should enter them with humility and respect, fearing Allah

▪ It was also said that this ayah carries the good news for the Muslims from Allah ﷻ that He will allow them to take over Al-Masjid Al-Haram and all the mosques and disgrace the idolaters.
▪  This ayah also described the disgrace that the disbelievers earn in this life, and that the punishment comes in a form comparable to the deed. _Just as they prevented the believers from entering Al-Masjid Al-Haram, they were prevented from entering it in turn. Just as they expelled the believers from Makkah, they were in turn expelled from Makkah.

▪ Here it is worth mentioning the hadeeth about seeking refuge from disgrace in this life and the torment of the Hereafter.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Busr bin Artah said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate,

*اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتَنَا فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْآخِرَة*

*“O Allah! Make our end better in all affairs, and save us from disgrace in this life and the torment of the Hereafter.”*

*Let's continue on this verse*👇🏻.                           Al-Baqara : 120

*وَلَن تَرْضٰى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصٰرٰى حَتّٰى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰى ۗ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ*

*And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper*

The Prophet ﷺ was sent as the mercy for all mankind.
-Out of his genuine concern for others, he wished to save as many people from misguidance and damnation as he could.
-He took pains to convince the deniers, and was specially lenient and gentle with the People of the Book.
-The religions of the Jews and the Christians, no doubt, were once genuine and had been instituted by Allah ﷻ But each had since distorted its religion out of shape;
moreover, in sending down Islam as the final Shari’ah, Allah ﷻ
abrogated all the earlier ones.
___*PAGE 9*____.
✍️...

In this ayah, Allah ﷻ informs him ﷺ that their denial is not due to lack of convincing arguments and proofs, but is motivated by pride and self-satisfaction_
▪ Each of the two groups – the Jews and the Christians – believed that only they were rightly guided.
▪ Allah ﷻ  informs the Prophet ﷺ that there is no likelihood of pleasing either of them until and unless he accepts their religion.
*Therefore, do not seek what pleases or appeases them, and stick to what pleases Allah ﷻ by calling them to the truth that He sent you with.*.

✍️..

Allah ﷻ did not instruct anyone to become a Jew or a Christian, rather when He addresses Prophet Ibraheem [Abraham] ‘alayhi salaam He commands him to become Muslim.
So, if Prophet Ibraheem was instructed to become Muslim [the submissive], then from where did Judaism and Christianity emerge?
▪ Allah ﷻ is warning His beloved ﷺ  that if he kept Islam aside and followed the people (in order to please them), then he will have no protector or helper.
