{Note: The Holy Prophet
also indicated other types of people with whom Allah will not speak, nor look at them on the Day of Judgement and that they will be given painful punishment. They are:
i) Aged adulterer, liar king, and proud beggar.” (Mishkat:4880)
ii) The person having sufficient water beyond his need, but forbidding the people to use it…
iii) The person giving his commitment (Ba’it) to any one just to get worldly benefit…
iv) The person dealing with his customer after ‘Asr’ and swearing (falsely) that by Allah some one was giving such and such price…[For (ii), (iii), and (iv) see Bukhari:2527]}
c) The Book of Allah is a great trust, and must be safeguarded. The truth must neither be concealed, nor distorted. Who is more unjust than the person, who conceals the testimony/trust/truth. (2:140) The fact is that the People of the Book concealed the truth about Kaba as well as about the Holy Prophet, and made a hue and cry that the Muslims went away from their First Kaba etc. etc. The Holy Quran categorically rejects their false propaganda, as indicated in the next Verse 2:177.
