About the Surah

So they were succeeded by (sinful) successors, who inherited the Book, but they greedily took perishable (worldly) gains, saying: “All our sins will be for-given,” (as an excuse for it). And if they got another chance to have similar petty worldly gains, they would eagerly take it too (like many Muslims of our time). Did they not make the promise as stated in the Book that they would not say about Allah anything except the truth, and they have studied (and fully under-stood) what is in the Book? And the home of the Hereafter is superior for those who are conscious of their duty to Allah. Don’t you understand this?
