So pardon and overlook

Allah commanded us to pardon the misdeeds and mistakes of the People of the Book, and forgive their ignorance until Allah delivers his command.

Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. }
