Lesson
It was
described earlier that Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) prayed in favor of the
Children of Israel, that this nation should be made the most superior and respectable
in the world as well as in the Hereafter. In response to this prayer, Allah
Almighty revealed: Superiority and honor does not depend on race or
nationality, but it depends on obedience of Allah Almighty.
The Children
of Israel proved with their later on behavior that they consider the Commands
of Allah Almighty nothing. They flee from the religion and run towards those
things openly; from which they have been forbidden. That’s why, they were kept
and will be kept suffering from the humiliation and degradation in the world,
and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be punished very severely. It has
been mentioned in Torah and Gospel till today. The same has been revised in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah, ‘Aal-‘Imraan and ‘Al-‘A’-Raaf etc. in Holy Qur’an, so that the Muslims should take
it a warning for themselves from their circumstances and understand properly
that those people who disobey the commands of Allah Almighty, whose behavior is
ingratitude and who are arrogant, they are kept contemptible and disgraced in
the world and the Hereafter. The same has been described in this verse.
It is
commanded that none should forget this happening. Allah Almighty says: O
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Your Lord proclaimed
clearly that He has predestinated the disgrace and the baseness for the
Children of Israel for ever due to their rebellion and immorality. Such people
will be born continuously in the world until the Judgment Day who will put them
in difficulties and keep them bruised if they did not correct their behavior, and
in addition, your Lord will punish them with severe wrath on the Day of
Resurrection, because He is Swift in prosecution. Nothing can prevent Him from
doing so. Besides this, verily He forgives the sins of those who repent and
ward off evil, and He is most Merciful too and sends down His Mercy for them
who put themselves right.
The history
witnesses that the Children of Israel remained despised and loathed always due
to the reason of their own wicked deeds. During the ancient times, they were
ruined and destroyed by the Ionians, Bukht
Nasar and many others. In the present era; Germany and Hungry etc. banished
them, and now they have been living with the support of others. There will be
no abode for them if their supporters leave them today. And this all has been
described for the Muslims’ admonition and precept.
Allah Almighty
has promised for the success and victory of the Muslims also at many places in
Holy Qur’an, but with the condition
that; if they will remain obedient of the Commands of Allah Almighty, then they
will be provided with support and victory, because Islam is the name of God’s
obedience. Without obedience; claim of being Muslim is hypocrisy only. And its
punishment is the same as mentioned above.
