Commentary
Tash-kuruun – (ye
might give thanks). This word has been derived from the word Shukar.
Shukar means thanks, gratitude and just an appreciation. Aim of
the Shukar in Islam is a just appreciation for the favors of
God Almighty by the human being. An individual should use His favors and Grants
in a right and sound manner. He should not be thankless or disesteem.
It was discussed in the previous lesson that Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) went on the Mount Sinai in obedience of God Almighty, so that he should worship Him
there and bring from Him a Guide Book for their nation. After the expiry of
thirty days, he was commanded to stay there ten more days, and he (peace be
upon Him) was late.
In the absence of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), Saamrii,
who was a wicked juggler, created a calf (a sound used to come out from its mouth),
produced it before the Children of Israel and told, “this calf is the
worshiped of yours and Moses (peace be upon Him), so you should worship it”.
Then immediately, save a few people, the entire nation fell prostrate before
the calf and began to worship it with extremely lowness.
When Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) returned from the Mount
of Sinai, He saw that the entire Children of Israel have been misled.
He filled with fury and threw away those Tablets of Commandments, which He had
brought with Him and asked His brother Aaron furiously. Aaron (peace be upon
Him) stated the entire story and told about His own helplessness.
Finally, God Almighty ordered, “Throw the calf into the sea and
kill one another because it is the only way to accept your repentance.” So, two
thousand persons were slain in a day. At last Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him)
prayed from God, the Most High and they received the commandment of forgiveness.
It is the Mercy and Grace of God Almighty only that the mankind
errs but God Almighty overlooks from them. As soon as the human being admits
his negligence and promises to abstain from evils in future, God Almighty
forgives. If any individual does not admit His kindness upon even it; then it
will be infinite thankless and worthlessness. This error is not forgivable.
