3. This means do not express sorrow at them or do not worry about them, or until they are infidels do not stop them from eating pork or consuming alcohol. But this does not mean that do not convey the message of Islam to them. Thus this verse is firm and not abrogated.Â
4. This hints at an issue that the infidels are not bound to the laws of Shariah. They can eat tins lawful or forbidden as they please, or practice whatever is lawful or forbidden. Islamic rulers should not stop them from such practices. However, social dealings are another matter. Thus, an infidel would be prohibited from stealing, etc.
5. At the time of death he became aware of it, that person's desires and tall hopes are against the dignity of a believer. The heedless. and unmindful way of dishing out food by an infidel too, is an offensive act, while the sleep of pious believers, too, is an act of worship.
