Commentary
It has been declared
previously that God Almighty and His Angels (peace be upon them) did never come
openly close to the human beings. Moreover, Allah Almighty has sent always His
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) out of them for guidance of the
mankind. In this verse, this fact is being cleared from the history of the
Children of Israel. God Almighty says: We sent many such Signs unto the
Children of Israel from which the truth of the existence of God Almighty,
manifested Truth and Teachings of His Messengers (peace be upon them). But they
put behind all those Signs. Allah Almighty honored them, but they proved that
they were thankless. God Almighty bestowed kindnesses upon the Children of
Israel in abundance; some of them are being stated here briefly:
- They were set free from the
oppression of Pharaoh. Pharaoh used to cause the slaughtering of the
Children of Israel and keep their daughters alive, take hard labor from
them, disgrace and ruin them in all respect. Allah Almighty saved them
from his oppression.
- A glorious Prophet named Moses
(peace be upon him) was sent by Him into them, who brought them out from
the slavery of Pharaoh, fear and dominion of the Qabtiis.
- Drowned their enemy Pharaoh
into the sea before their eyes.
- Kept them under the shadow of
clouds during their period in the deserts of SinaiValley, sent down
Manna and Quail for their food, caused to flow for them twelve springs of
water.
- Revealed Torah upon Prophet
Moses (peace be upon him) for their guidance.
- Settled them in their own
Country Palestine.
- Maintained a channel of
Prophets (peace be upon them) among their race for a long time.
But, despite all these favors, the Children of
Israel followed their personal desires. They turned their faces from Holy
Scripture, revealed by Allah Almighty and denied from His Commands. They
remained busy as their mind desired. Allah Almighty sent upon them different
kinds of wrath as punishment for the disobedience, so that; they should come
towards the Straight Path. But even then, their scholars changed the words and
meanings of the Commands of God Almighty, and made changes intentionally in the
Holy Scripture. The public followed them blindly. If these people will resist;
even now; on their words and will not believe in the True and Last Word of
Allah Almighty “Holy Qur’an”, they should remember! Allah Almighty
is Severe in punishment and their end will be the same as it happened with the
previous nations.
