92. وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُم مُّوسَىٰ
بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمْ
ظَٰلِمُونَ
93. وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ
وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ
وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُوا۟ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ
ٱلْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِهِۦٓ إِيمَٰنُكُمْ إِن
كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

92. And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of
Allah’s Sovereignty), yet while he was away, ye chose the calf (for worship)
and ye were wrongdoers.
93. And when We made with you a covenant and caused the
(Mount) Toor to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given
you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and disobey. And (worship of)
the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of
the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on
you, if ye are believers.

Commentary
In the previous verse, Allah
Almighty has proved that the claim of the Jews was wrong that they were
following entirely the Divine Law of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) and now;
they do not need any new Religion or Divine law. God Almighty commanded against
it that they used to falsify their many Prophets and some of Them (peace be
upon them) were even slain by them.
Now in this verse, God Almighty commands
that He sent the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) and bestowed Him also a lot
of miracles but knowing all this, even then, the Children of Israel began
worshipping of the calf. They gave up Oneness of God and overtook infidelity
and ascribed plurality with God Almighty.
Then Allah Almighty made covenant with
them in the base of Mount Sinai on
some Orders to be obeyed. At that time, due to fear of God Almighty, they
promised but later on, they refused to admit it. So at last, Allah, the Most
High says, “If your faith, of which you claim, teaches you to slay the Prophets
(peace be upon Them), worship the calf instead of God Almighty and break the
covenant, then your this faith teaches you wrong-doings. How can it be a true
Belief?
