In the previous verse we read that the Jews rejected the prophet, for not being one of them racially, and also for endangering their personal advantages, that was as flimsy and hollow as their faith was! There is the question that; did they not reject the apostles of their own race such as Jesus? QURÄN says: ``When it is said to them believe in what Allah has sent down; they say we believe only in that which was sent to us!'' They say so but their assertion is merely a hollow pretext that they believe neither in their own scriptures nor in QURÄN. Though they can easily know that Qurän is mere truth, corroborating that which is with them. If their excuse for rejecting Mohammad was because he was not of their race, QURÄN says: `` Why did you then slay the prophets of Allah in times gone by if you were believers.'' The real trouble with them was their selfishness, that made them to resist against anything which could run against their personal profit and advantages.
