The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (21)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (59 - 60)


{ فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوْلاً غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رِجْزاً مِّنَ السَّمَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ } [البقرة: 59]

59- However, an oppressing group of you disobeyed and altered the commands given to them. So, instead of entering prostrating and seeking forgiveness, they entered in a different form and said something other than what they were told to say out of disagreement and haughtiness. As a result, Allah incurred His Wrath and punishment on those oppressors because of their mischief and disobedience.
{ وَإِذِ اسْتَسْقَى مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ فَانفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْناً قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ كُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ مِن رِّزْقِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْاْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ } [البقرة: 60]
60– O Children of Israel, remember My Favor upon you when the invocation of your Prophet Moses was answered. When he asked for water, We commanded him to strike the rocks with his stick, causing twelve springs to come forth: A spring for each tribe. So, eat the Mann and the quails then drink from that water which gushed forth to you without hardship. Worship Allah who subjugated all these for you and do not exchange His Favors with denial and disobedience lest His Favors may go away.
