بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

2.159-160

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْتُمُوْنَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الْهُدٰى مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا بَیَّنّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِی الْكِتٰبِۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ یَلْعَنُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ یَلْعَنُهُمُ اللّٰعِنُوْنَۙ (159) اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا وَ اَصْلَحُوْا وَ بَیَّنُوْا فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ اَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِمْۚ-وَ اَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ(160)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, those who conceal the clear declarations and guidance[1] which We have sent down, even though We have made it clear for the people in the Book; so Allah deprives them of mercy and they are cursed by those who curse. Except those who repent, and reform ˹their affairs˺, and reveal ˹that which was concealed˺, so I shall accept their repentance; I am the Most-Accepting of repentance, the Most-Merciful.

Commentary

[1]

Concealing religious teachings is sinful, whether that be through hiding them when needed or by relating them incorrectly. In fact, relating an incorrect teaching affords severe consequences. Nowadays, there seems to be no shortage of people erroneously commenting on matters of the Qurʾan and sunnah; the warning in the verse applies to all such people.
