OCCASION OF REVELATION (VERSE NO. 78 & 79)

      Some of the learned Jews of Madina, who called themselves rabbies and doctors of the LAW, wanted to keep back the knowledge of the scripture about the promised prophet Mohammad. They thought, confirming the prophet by his signs and symptoms that are prophesied in the BIBLE might endanger their power and advantages in that Jewish circle, So they palmed out their own writing for the Message of God, Which could bring them a miserable profit for the time being, and at the high price of losing their own souls!

      Many of the Jews, even if they could read or write, were no better than illiterates; and having heard the symptoms of the prophet from their fathers or grandfathers, they asked their rabbies about it, and they slyly rehearsed to them what they had written with their own hands as the writings of the scriptures and the Message of God.

THE JEW'S PLAN FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

      The two above translated verse divide the Jews into two main groups or classes of people: 1) The common and illiterate Jews; 2) and the sly, deceitful learned ones.

      The group of the unlettered and ignorant laymen who knew not their own scriptures, and their knowledge was confined to their inner desires and conjectures. These are introduced by Holy QURÄN thus: ``And some of them are illiterate men who know not the BOOK, save desires, and they are none but those who merely conjecture.

VERSE NO. 79

      The second group consisted of those who were learned and had some knowledge of the BOOK, but cunningly perverted the verses to their own benefit and advantage. This group of the Jews are addressed by the verse NO 79: ``Woe to them who write the book with their own hands, and then say: This is from allah,.'' They do so with the aim of selling it for a little price - a trifle!

The verse also imply that they used unholy means, and reached to a dishonest result!
