266. The Yahud would boastfully say that Hazrat Yaqub, had counselled his sons to remain firm on Judaism. Allah revealed this verse to discredit this claim of theirs. The will of Hazrat Yaqub throws light on several issues: the safety of his children is the most important act of a father; that religion is the most important entity in one's life, therefore Hazrat Yaqub advised his sons to remain firm on it. And without faith it is worthless of being even an offspring or son of a Prophet.
267. This verse explains that true Lord is He who is the Lord of these Prophets as they were the proof of the Divine Knowledge of God Almighty. Likewise, the true religion is that which was practised by the pious sages, and the True Lord is He in whom the Prophets and saints had believed.
