Surat Al Baqarah (90-91)

{ بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ أَن يَكْفُرُواْ بِمَا أنَزَلَ اللّهُ بَغْياً أَن يُنَزِّلُ اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ فَبَآؤُواْ بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضَبٍ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ } [البقرة:  90]

90- Doomed is their trade where they purchased falsehood for the truth. They denied the revelation with which Muhammad came, out of envy, hatred, and arrogance because he was not one of them. (Allâh knows best with whom to place His Message.) [Surat Al Baqarah: 124]. Therefore, Allah has chosen of His Servants who could hold the burdens of the message; and they did not appoint a messenger themselves.

Because of their envy and hatred, they deserved a double wrath when they distorted the Torah in their custody then they disbelieved in Muhammad (peace be upon him).

They have lost their trade when they did not respond to the call of Islam as they will regret on the Hereafter because of the punishment that awaits them due to their disbelief. There will be a very humiliated torment for them.

{ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُواْ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرونَ بِمَا وَرَاءهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَاءَ اللّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ } [البقرة:  91]

91- When it was said to the Jews or the People of the Scriptures: Believe in that which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came with and follow him, they said: The Torah and the Bible which were sent down for us are sufficient because they contain all the truth. We shall not accept anything but them. Therefore, they denied the Qur'an while they know that it was truly confirming that was revealed in the Torah and the Bible while they were deniers and stubborn.

O Messenger, say to them: If you truly claim that you had faith in what was revealed to you, why did you kill the Prophets who brought you the truth which confirmed the Torah and you knew their truthfulness? It was just because of whims, oppression, and arrogance which are not from the qualities of the believers.
