Lesson
God Almighty is causing
to remember the Children of Israel His favors 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 has been 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 depravity.”
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.
