This matter has been dealt with in the preceding paragraph, that the Jews for attracting the attention of the Pagan Arabs, testified that the worship of idols is more rightful than the worship of God!

      To please the pagan idolaters, they even prostrated themselves in front of the idols! This verse and the next one declares their judgement as blasphemy and void of any value, saying:

      1- Do they have any share in the kingdom, that want to judge like that?

      2- And that, for their oppression and injustice they have proved unworthy to hold, or preach the message of God.

      Losing that important position, jealousy and envy overcame their heart, so that they can't admit that divine position for anyone other than themselves.

      HAZRAT IMAM SADIQ (AS) has said: ``Jealousy is due to the darkness of the heart, and blindness of the mind. It may arise from the denial of God's bounties bestowed on some other of His servants.'

      Blindness of the heart, and objection against God's favour to other people, are the two wings of blasphemy. It was due to jealousy that the son of Adam has to suffer an eternal damnation.
