Commentary
God Almighty is reminding the Children of Israel His favors
on them one by one, so that they should give up evil deeds keeping these favors
in view and come back unto the straight path.
In this verse, previous incident is being explained constantly.
When a group from the Children of Israel said to the Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him), “We will see Allah Almighty with our apparent and material
eyes manifestly”, the lightning seized them due to this arrogance and they all
died. When Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) saw them dead, He called upon God
Almighty and prayed, “O my Lord! I brought these people to witness before the
Children of Israel. Now they have died. What shall I reply the nation and
produce before them argument? Then Allah Almighty brought them to life
again.
God Almighty has drawn their attention towards that fact in this
verse and Commanded that they should remember His favor: Then We revived you
after your extinction, that ye might give thanks”. There is only one way to
give thanks to God Almighty, “Obey His Commandments leaving the path of
infidelity and deviation.”
It appears from this incident that arrogance in the Court of God
Almighty and unreasonable demands from Him is biggest sin and its punishment is
very painful. Those people wished to see God Almighty with their material eyes,
whereas, it was impossible for the human being till the time living in this
world and they were punished due to this arrogance.
So, we should accept and believe in every commandment and order
of Allah Almighty and His last Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon
Him) also without any doubt and dispute. We should never try to grow any fault
finding, criticism and argument in it unnecessarily, because it becomes habit
of the human being to find faults in every matter. The individuals who become
habitual of finding faults, they shirk from work always. They are rich of talking
only.
