117. In this paragraph (Ayats 118-124), answers to the objections raised by the disbelievers of Makkah concerning the commandments contained in (Ayats 114-117 )have been given. Their first objection was: Besides the above mentioned unlawful things, there are other unlawful things in the Jewish law which have been made lawful by you. If that law was from Allah and yours is also from Allah, why do they then contradict each other? Their second objection was: You have abrogated the sanctity of the Sabbath of the Israelites. Have you done this of your own accord or by Allah’s command? In the latter case then will be an obvious contradiction in the two laws. Or has Allah Himself given two contradictory commandments?
