Cause of God’s anger
Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the Beneficent,
the Merciful
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟يَعْتَدُونَ (61 c)

61c.
That was because they disbelieved in Allah’s Revelations and slew the
Prophets wrongfully. That was for their disobedience and transgression.

Commentary
Yakfuruuna – (they
disbelieved), this word has been derived from the word kafara. Literal meaning
of kafara is ‘not to believe, to hide’. Technically, “having
not belief in the Oneness of God and Prophet-hood is called infidelity.
So Kaafir means “the Infidel”. It aims in this verse that the
Children of Israel had become habitual of infidelity and
denial.
‘AayaaTillaahi –
(Allah’s Revelations, verses, tokens, signs), it signifies also toward the
Miracles of the Prophets (peace be upon Them), Heavenly Scriptures, Orders and
Commandments of God Almighty too.
Yaq-tuluuna – (they
slew, murdered, killed) the Children of Israel used to kill the
Prophets (peace be upon Them) by crossing the limits of infidelity and
violence. They committed slaying of the Prophets John, Zachariah, Yasa’-yaa’ and Yarmiyaa (peace
be upon Them).
As we have discussed in the previous lessons that the Children
of Israel suffered from the wrath of God Almighty. Humiliation and
wretchedness were affixed upon them. The reasons of wrath are being narrated in
this verse.
God Almighty commands that the Children of Israel had
become habitual of two main crimes:
- They did not act upon the Commandments of God
Almighty wholeheartedly. Moreover, they used to find faults unnecessarily,
and criticize in each matter unreasonably with improper arguments.
- They used to slay their Prophets (peace be
upon Them). After the Prophet Moses, God Almighty sent many Prophets
(peace be upon Them) but they did not listen to anyone of Them. In
addition, they became enemies of their Prophets. Some of them were blamed
and some were slain.
Causes of these crimes have been narrated also in this verse
that they used to disobey the Orders of God Almighty and Instructions of His
Prophets (peace be upon Them), and had become habitual to cross the prescribed
limits of the Religion. It was the result that as they turned their faces from
the Revelations of God Almighty and slew the Prophets (peace be upon Them), so
they would have to suffer from the wrath of God Almighty.
