Lesson
Minkum – (those of you) it signifies towards the fathers
and ancestors; forefathers of the children of Israel.
As-Sabt – (the day of “Saturday”) Literal meaning
of Sabt is Saturday. As, near to Christians ‘Sunday’ is a holy
day and Muslims celebrate ‘Friday’ as the Holy Day, like this the Jews count
‘Saturday’ as their holy day. Saturday was specified only for the worship of
God near to them. Worldly works like business, agriculture or hunting were
forbidden for them on that day.
‘A’-tadaw – (not observed temperateness, crossed the
limits) they crossed the limits of Divine’s Law.
It has come in the
Sayings that during the time of Prophet David (peace be upon Him) many Jews
were living in Ailah (a place in the south of Palestine).
This event belongs to that population. These people used to disobey the commandments
of God Almighty with cleverness and tactfully. They were instructed that they
should not hunt the fish on Saturday absolutely. God Almighty desired to
examine them too. Usually the fish used to come near the bank of river on
Saturday in much quantity.
The Jews planned
tactfully to carry on the outward form of the orders of God Almighty. They used
to dig pit holes near the bank of river on Saturday. Large quantity of the fish
used to inter in those pit holes along with water. Then they used to close the
way of water from the river side towards the pit holes. Next day they used to
hunt these fish from the pit holes. Due to disobeying God Almighty
continuously, they were punished, were shaped as apes and their
faces were changed from good to bad.
It appears from this
verse that some commands come from God Almighty only for examining. It is the
aim of test “to clarify that the servants of God Almighty remain obedient in
the both situations i.e. during rest and hard period. If the human being comes
out with credit in the situation of test, there are a lot of facilities for
him, but punishment is very tough for the impatient and evil doers.
