Then when the Truth from Us came to them, they said: "Indeed, this is manifest sorcery”.
If Messengers sent with the Truth—Adhikr—were ridiculed by disbelievers as sorcerers, in this verse disbelievers are saying that Adhikr is the manifest sorcery. It is told in verse 36: 69 “Not Arabic Qur’an but Adhikr—the Reminder—is the Clear and Manifest Reading”. But the Arabic Qur’an reading Fujjar have made their food ‘rejecting Adhikr’; thus, they are ruining themselves, but they perceive it not as explained in verses 6: 25-26. The Truth mentioned in 256 places such as in 2: 147; 7: 8-9; 10: 108; 17: 81; 39: 41; 40: 78 and 43: 78 is Adhikr. But these aimless hypocrites and their heedless followers are strayed away from Adhikr—the Straightpath—by the following falsehood. So, they will get Hell as a fine for their worthless life in this world by forgetting Adhikr as explained in verses 14: 28-29; 25: 34 and 65-66. See the explanations 2: 119; 9: 31-33 and 10: 2-3.
