Surely those who are killing their children foolishly without Knowledge and are forbidding something Lord Allah has provided them by forging upon Allah are losers; surely they are strayed, and they are not guided.
As explained in verse 6: 137 the Meccan Pagans had killed their children and had made forbidden some food items from forging upon Lord Allah. They were aimless and heedless as they rejected Lord’s verses and Messenger. They were not ready to follow Messenger who was explaining the Purified Book and Guidance upon them as told in verses 98: 1-3 and 2: 2. Today, the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar who read these verses are hiding and rejecting Adhikr. They neither utilize It nor give It to others. By doing so they are not ruining any except themselves, but they perceive it not as explained in verse 6: 26. They are the worthless people mentioned in verse 25: 18. See explanation 1: 7; 4: 167, and 23: 7.
