“They have exchanged the
signs of Allah for a small price and averted [people] from His way.
Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.” Quran (9:09)
To understand this, the ayah before
is important.
“How [can there be a
treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning
you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their
mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.”
Quran (9:08)
“They” refers to the
disbelievers who broke the treaty. Exchanging Allah’s message for a small price
means that they chose what satisfies them for a short time, to enjoy and to
live free of care of obligations over the message of Allah, Islam. This is a
small price because the enjoyment is very temporary, and it will end when their
life does.
And Allah knows best.
