Lesson
It was stated in
the previous lesson that the Children of Israel began to ask questions about
that cow unnecessarily, for which they were commanded to sacrifice. At first
they asked about the age of the cow, so they were told that “Verily she is a
cow neither with calf nor immature. (She is) between the two conditions”. As
though, due to asking questions, they became bound about the age of the cow.
But they did not cease
and asked second question: What would be color of the cow? Now Prophet Moses
(peace be upon him) told them after asking from Allah Almighty that the color
of the cow should be yellow, which should be such fast and clear that those
people become happy who look at it and they consider that it is very beautiful
cow.
As if, they raised some more
difficulty for themselves by asking another question. And it all was result of wickedness
of the Children of Israel, due to which they had been making difficult and
complicated to a simple order for themselves at their own.
It appears from such
questions that those people were utmost clever and idle fellows. They wished to
evade in the commandment of Allah Almighty. They did not perceive that what
philosophy is hidden in the Commandment of Allah Almighty. That work, which was
being considered very difficult for them, had abundant of secret expedience.
Actually they were
trying to evade the order. But as they were trying to evade, they were drowning
in the more difficult situation. They did not understand that how much
expedience and secrets are hidden in His orders.
We should learn from such
incidents of the Children of Israel and remember it always that arguing and
fault finding against the commandments of Allah Almighty can never be useful. We
should abstain from it and obey His all Commandments without wrangling.
