SIDE STORY
- •
One day, Hamza (R.
A.
) (the Prophet's uncle) accepted Islam and humiliated Abu Jahl after Hamza heard him insulting the Prophet (ﷺ).
'Omar ibn Al-Khattab (R.
A.
) (the nephew of Abu Jahl) became extremely angry when he heard of what happened to his own uncle and decided to take revenge by killing the Prophet
(ﷺ).
On his way to find the Prophet (ﷺ), 'Omar (R.
A.
) came across a man who had secretly accepted Islam.
The man asked 'Omar (R.
A.
) where he was going with his sword.
He told him that he was going to kill Muhammad (ﷺ).
To distract 'Omar (R.
A.
) from his evil plan, the man said, "Why don't you first go and deal with your sister Fatimah and her husband Sa'id, who have both accepted Islam?
" 'Omar (R.
A.
) was in shock, so he decided to go to his sister's house instead.
- •
Fatimah and Sa'id were at home, studying the Quran secretly with a companion named Khabbab (R.
A.
).
When 'Omar (R.
A.
) heard the recitation, he started banging on the door and Khabbab (R.
A.
) immediately hid in a room.
When they opened the door, 'Omar (R.
A.
) shouted at them, "How dare you accept Islam?
" When they bravely told him they had, in fact, become Muslim, he attacked them.
But 'Omar (R.
A.
) quickly regretted his actions when he saw his sister's face bleeding.
- •
He asked for the sheet they were reading from, and his sister told him to purify himself first.
After he did, she gave him the sheet, which had the beginning of Surah Ta-Ha.
'Omar (R.
A.
) was very impressed by these powerful verses and decided to go to the Prophet (ﷺ) to accept Islam.
{Imam At-Tabarani & Imam Ibn Ishaq}
THE QURAN REVEALED BY ALLAH
1Ta-Ha.
2We have not revealed the Quran to you '0 Prophet' to cause you stress,
3but as a reminder to those who honour'Allah'.
4It is' a revelation from the One Who created the earth and the high heavens-
5the Most Kind, Who 1s' established on the Throne.
6To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is on the earth, and whatever 1s in between, and whatever is under-ground.
7Whether you speak public-Iy 'or not', He definitely knows what is secret and what is even more hidden.
8Allah-there is no god that deserves Worship' except Him.
He has the Most Beautiful Names.

MUSA CHOSEN AS A PROPHET
9Has the story of Musa reached you '0 Prophet?
10When he sawa fire, he said to his family, 'Wait here; I have spotteda fire.
Perhaps I can bring you a torch from it, or find some guidance at the fire'
11But when he came to it, he was called, '0 Musa!
'
12I am your Lord!
So take off your sandals; you are in the holy valley of Tuwa.
13I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed:
14I am Allah!
There is no god that deserves worship' except Me.
So worship Me 'alone', and pray salah to remember Me.
15The Hour 'of Judgment' is sure to come.
My plan is to keep it hidden, so that every soul will be paid back for what it has done.
16So do not let those who deny it and follow their desires distract you from it, or you will be doomed!
'
وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ9
إِذۡ رَءَا نَارٗا فَقَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوۡ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدٗى10
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ11
إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخۡلَعۡ نَعۡلَيۡكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوٗى12
وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ13
إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدۡنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكۡرِيٓ14
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۢ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ15
فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ16
WORDS OF WISDOM
- •
There is something interesting about 20:17-18.
When Allah asked Musa (A.
S.
) about the object in his hand, he could have simply said, "A staff.
" But Musa (A.
S.
) volunteered to add some details that Allah didn't ask about (for example, who the staff belonged to and what it was used for).
He even said that he used it for other things, hoping that Allah would ask him what those uses were.
Also, in 5:114, when Isa (A.
S.
) prayed to Allah to send down a table full of food for his companions, he used a similar style.
The reason is that both prophets wanted to talk to Allah as much as they could.
- •
When we pray, we shouldn't rush salah by praying faster than the speed of light.
Instead, we should take our time, keeping in mind that we are also having a dialogue with Allah.
But if you pray fast, it becomes a monologue, not a dialogue.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said that when we read Surah Al-Fatihah, Allah responds to every verse we recite.
{Imam Muslim}
TWO SIGNS FOR MUSA
17Allah added, 'And what is that in your right hand, 0 Musa?
'
18He replied, 'It is my staff!
I lean on it, and with itI beat down 'branches' for my sheep, and have other uses for it.
'
19Allah said, 'Throw it down, 0 Musa!
'
20So he did, then-be-hold!
it became a serpent, slithering.
21Allah said, 'Take it, and do not be afraid.
We will turn it back to the way it was before.
'
22And put your hand under your armpit, it will come out 'glowing' white, not because of a disease,' as an-other sign,
23just to show you some of Our greatest signs.
24Go to Pharaoh-he has truly gone too far in evil.
'
وَمَا تِلۡكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ17
قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُاْ عَلَيۡهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مََٔارِبُ أُخۡرَىٰ18
قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ19
فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ20
قَالَ خُذۡهَا وَلَا تَخَفۡۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ21
وَٱضۡمُمۡ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخۡرَىٰ22
لِنُرِيَكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلۡكُبۡرَى23
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ24
MUSA PRAYS FOR HELP
25Musa prayed, 'My Lord!
Lift up my heart for me,'
26and make my task easy,
27and untie my tongue
28so people can understand my speech,'
29and give me a helper from my family,
30Harun, my brother.
31Support me through him,
32and let him share my task,
33so that we may praise You much
34and remember You much;
35You have alvways watched over us.
'
36Allah responded, 'Your prayer has been answered, 0 Musa!
'
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي25
وَيَسِّرۡ لِيٓ أَمۡرِي26
وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةٗ مِّن لِّسَانِي27
يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِي28
وَٱجۡعَل لِّي وَزِيرٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِي29
هَٰرُونَ أَخِي30
ٱشۡدُدۡ بِهِۦٓ أَزۡرِي31
وَأَشۡرِكۡهُ فِيٓ أَمۡرِي32
كَيۡ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرٗا33
وَنَذۡكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا34
إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرٗا35
قَالَ قَدۡ أُوتِيتَ سُؤۡلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ36
ALLAH'S FAVOURS TO YOUNG MUSA
37We had already done you a favour be-fore,
38when We inspired your mother with this:
39Put him into a basket, then nut it into the river.
The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by Pha-raoh,' an enemy of Mine and his: And I made you a likable person 0 Musa'
so that you could be brought up under My caring' Eye.
40'Remember' when your sister came along and suggested, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will nurse him?
'5 So We reunited you with your mother so that her heart would be put at ease, and she would not be sad.
'Lat-er' you killed a man 'by mistake', but We saved you from stress, as well as oth-er tests We put you through.
Then you stayed for a number of years among the people of Madian.
Then you came here as planned, O Musa!
41And I have selected you for My service.
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَيۡكَ مَرَّةً أُخۡرَىٰٓ37
إِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ38
أَنِ ٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ فَلۡيُلۡقِهِ ٱلۡيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأۡخُذۡهُ عَدُوّٞ لِّي وَعَدُوّٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡتُ عَلَيۡكَ مَحَبَّةٗ مِّنِّي وَلِتُصۡنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيۡنِيٓ39
إِذۡ تَمۡشِيٓ أُخۡتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكۡفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعۡنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيۡ تَقَرَّ عَيۡنُهَا وَلَا تَحۡزَنَۚ وَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا فَنَجَّيۡنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونٗاۚ فَلَبِثۡتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئۡتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٖ يَٰمُوسَىٰ40
وَٱصۡطَنَعۡتُكَ لِنَفۡسِي41
ORDERS TO MUSA AND HARUN
42'Go, you and your brother, with My Signs and never fall short in remember-ing Me.
'
43'Go, both of you, to Pharaoh; he has truly crossed all lines.
'
44'Speak to him gently, so perhaps he will keep Me in mind or fear 'My punishment''
45They both said, 'Our Lord!
We are Worried that he will lash out against us Or get out of control.
'
46Allah replied, 'Do not worry!
I am with you, hearing and seeing 'everything' .
'
47'So go to him and say, We are both messengers from your Lord, so let the Children of Isra'il go with us, and stop abusing them.
We have come to you with a sign from your Lord.
Peace will only be for those who follow the 'right' guidance.
48'It has definitely been revealed to us that the punishment will fall upon those who deny 'the truth and turn away.
'
ٱذۡهَبۡ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بَِٔايَٰتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكۡرِي42
ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ43
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا لَّيِّنٗا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوۡ يَخۡشَىٰ44
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفۡرُطَ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوۡ أَن يَطۡغَىٰ45
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَآ أَسۡمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ46
فَأۡتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡۖ قَدۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بَِٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَۖ وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ47
إِنَّا قَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَنَّ ٱلۡعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ48
PHARAOH'S ARROGANCE
49Pharaoh asked, 'Who then is the Lord of you two, 0 Musa?
'
50He answered, 'Our Lord is the One Who has given ev-erything its 'unique' form, then guided it'
51Pharaoh argued, 'And what about all earlier peoples?
'
52He replied, 'That knowledge is with my Lord ina Book.
My Lord does not miss or forget 'anything''
53'He is the One' Who has laid out the earth for 'all of you, and set in it path-ways for you.
He sends down rain from the sky, causing different types of plants to grow.
54So eat and feed your cattle.
Surely in this are signs for those who have sense.
55From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will bring you back again.
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ49
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ50
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلۡقُرُونِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ51
قَالَ عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَٰبٖۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى52
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّن نَّبَاتٖ شَتَّىٰ53
كُلُواْ وَٱرۡعَوۡاْ أَنۡعَٰمَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ54
مِنۡهَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ55
THE CHALLEHGE
56We already showed Pharaoh all of Our signs, but he rejected t them and refused 'to believe',
57He argued, 'Have you come to drive us out of our rland with your magic, 0 Musa?
'
58We can easily chal-lenge you with similar magic.
So set for both of us an appointment that th neither of us will fail to keep, in a central place'
59Musa replied, 'Your appointment is on the Day of the Festival, and let the people be gathered when the sun is high.
'
وَلَقَدۡ أَرَيۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ56
قَالَ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِتُخۡرِجَنَا مِنۡ أَرۡضِنَا بِسِحۡرِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ57
فَلَنَأۡتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحۡرٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ فَٱجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّا نُخۡلِفُهُۥ نَحۡنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانٗا سُوٗى58
قَالَ مَوۡعِدُكُمۡ يَوۡمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحۡشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحٗى59
MUSA'S WARNING
60Pharaoh then turned away, put his plan together, then came back.
61Musa warned the magicians, 'You are doomed!
Do not make up a lie against Allah, or He will wipe you out with a punishment.
Whoever makes up lies will definitely fail'
62So the magicians argued about it among themselves, talking privately.
63They said, 'These two are just magi-cians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic, and do away with your great way of life.
'
64So put t your plan together, then Come forward in 'perfect' lines.
Whoever wins today will truly be Successful'
فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيۡدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ60
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيۡلَكُمۡ لَا تَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا فَيُسۡحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٖۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ61
فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ62
قَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخۡرِجَاكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِمَا وَيَذۡهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُثۡلَىٰ63
فَأَجۡمِعُواْ كَيۡدَكُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱئۡتُواْ صَفّٗاۚ وَقَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَعۡلَىٰ64
MUSA WINS,
65They said, '0 Musa!
Either you or let us be the first to throw.
'
66Musa replied, 'No, you go first.
' And sudden-ly their ropes and staffs appeared to him to be slithering by their magic.
67So Musa felt afraid deep down.
68We said, 'Do not be afraid!
You will win for sure.
'
69Throw what is in your right hand, and it will swallow up what they have made-it is just a magic trick.
And magicians can never succeed wherever they go.
”
قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلۡقِيَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰ65
قَالَ بَلۡ أَلۡقُواْۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمۡ وَعِصِيُّهُمۡ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيۡهِ مِن سِحۡرِهِمۡ أَنَّهَا تَسۡعَىٰ66
فَأَوۡجَسَ فِي نَفۡسِهِۦ خِيفَةٗ مُّوسَىٰ67
قُلۡنَا لَا تَخَفۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ68
وَأَلۡقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلۡقَفۡ مَا صَنَعُوٓاْۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُواْ كَيۡدُ سَٰحِرٖۖ وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيۡثُ أَتَىٰ69
MAGICIANS BECOME BELIEVERS
70So the magicians s fell on their knees, de-claring, 'We believe e in the Lord of Harun and Musa.
'
71Pharaoh threatened, 'How dare you believe e i in him before I give you permission?
He He must be your master who taught you magic.
I will definitely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you on the trunks of date trees.
You will really see whose pun-ishment is more painful and permanent.
'
72They responded, 'By the One Who cre-ated us!
We will never prefer you over the clear proofs that have come to us.
So do whatever you want!
Your authority only covers the 'short' life of this world.
73We have truly believed in our Lord so He may forgive our sins and that magic you have forced us to practice.
And Allah is far greater 'in reward and more last-1 ing 'in punishment'
فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدٗا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ70
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ فِي جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخۡلِ وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابٗا وَأَبۡقَىٰ71
قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنَاۖ فَٱقۡضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍۖ إِنَّمَا تَقۡضِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ72
إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغۡفِرَ لَنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَا وَمَآ أَكۡرَهۡتَنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحۡرِۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ73
FAIR JUDGMENT
74Those who come to their Lord as wick-ed sinners will certainly have Jahannam, where they will not 'be able to' live or die.
75But those who come to Him as be-lievers, having done good, they will have the highest ranks:
76the Gardens of Eter-nity, under which rivers flow, where they will stay forever.
That is the reward of those who purify themselves.
إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأۡتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجۡرِمٗا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ74
وَمَن يَأۡتِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنٗا قَدۡ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتُ ٱلۡعُلَىٰ75
جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ76
PHARAOH'S DOOM
77And We surely inspired Musa, 'saying,' 'Leave with My servants 'at night' and strike a dry path for them across the sea.
Do not be afraid of being caught or worried 'about drowning''
78Then Pharaoh chased them with his soldiers-but how horrible were the waters that covered them!
79And so Pharaoh caused his peo-ple to stray, and did not guide 'them to the right way'.
وَلَقَدۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِي فَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُمۡ طَرِيقٗا فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ يَبَسٗا لَّا تَخَٰفُ دَرَكٗا وَلَا تَخۡشَىٰ77
فَأَتۡبَعَهُمۡ فِرۡعَوۡنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمۡ78
وَأَضَلَّ فِرۡعَوۡنُ قَوۡمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ79
ALLAH'S FAVOURS
80O Children of Isra'il!
We saved you from your enemy, and made an appoint-ment for you' on the right side of Mount Tur, and sent down to you manna and quails,
81'saying' 'Eat from the good things We have provided for you, but do not take them for granted, or I will be angry with you.
And whoever suffers My anger is truly doomed.
82But I am cer-tainly Forgiving to whoever repents, be-lieves, does good, then stays guided.
يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدۡ أَنجَيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ عَدُوِّكُمۡ وَوَٰعَدۡنَٰكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنَ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ80
كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَضَبِيۖ وَمَن يَحۡلِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدۡ هَوَىٰ81
وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٞ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا ثُمَّ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ82
BACKGROUND STORY
- •
The Samiri was a hypocrite who led the Children of Isra'il into calf-worship.
According to many scholars, while Musa (A.
S.
) and the Children of Isra'il were crossing the sea to escape the abuse of Pharaoh and his people, the Samiri saw the angel Jibril (A.
S.
) on a horse leading the way.
Every time the horse touched the ground, it came to life by turning green.
So the Samiri took a handful of sand from the hoof-prints of the horse.
- •
When Musa (A.
S.
) went for the appointment with Allah, his people melted the jewellery they had borrowed from their Egyptian neighbours before they left Egypt.
Then the Samiri moulded an idol from the melted jewellery and threw that handful of sand on it, and it started to sound like a real calf.
{Imam Ibn Kathir & Imam Al-Qurtubi}
