Many of the People of the Book wished to return you after your faith into disbelievers as you were before worshipping idols; because of the envy that filled their souls after the truthfulness of the Prophet of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in what he brought became clear to them, so overlook what was from them of offense and error, and pardon their ignorance, until Allah brings His judgment regarding them by fighting them (and it has come and occurred), and He will punish them for their evil deeds. Indeed, Allah is over all things powerful, nothing frustrates Him.
