bade them: Enter the gate, prostrate! And We bode them: Transgress not the
Sabbath! And We took from them a firm covenant.

Commentary
Sujja-dan – (prostrating), it is plural of saajid, which
has come out from Sajdah i.e. to
keep the forehead on earth before someone for His respect.
Laa ta’-duu – (Do not transgress), it is from ‘udwaan, which
means ‘to cross the limit’.
Galii-zun – this word is used for ‘weighty and corpulent’. Here it aims
‘strong and firm’ which is unbreakable.
Allah Almighty described about the Jews in this verse that they were
commanded to act upon the instructions mentioned in Torah. They denied and
said, “These orders are very severe. It is impossible for us to act upon them”.
Then Allah Almighty towered the Mount Toor over their heads. They began to tremble due to its fear that it
was near to fall on their heads. They thought that they would be dashed to
pieces. For this reason they promised to act upon Torah. After this covenant
they were commanded to enter the gate of city in prostrate position before Allah Almighty.
They disobeyed also this order. In punishment of this disobedience,
pestilential disease (plague) spread between them and thousands were killed.
After that, they broke another
order. They were forbidden from preying upon the fish on Saturday. A firm and
strong covenant was taken from them for this purpose. See the Omnipotence of
God Almighty that the fish used to come in abundance on every Saturday only.
They could not wait and made a plan. They dug such ponds, in which the fish
might come but could not return on Saturday, so that, they could catch the fish
on the next day “Sunday”. It is clear evident that this work was against the
Commandment of Allah Almighty. Therefore their faces were shaped as monkeys.
Such people think that
everything is only in worldly respect, wealth and property, Army and supremacy.
They do not believe in the next world (the Doomsday) and give importance to
only outward things. Allah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) and Their Commands have no weight near to them. Neither they believe
in the Word/Scriptures of Allah Almighty and nor they understand the Truth of His Angels (peace
be upon them). They determine that the Time of accounts on the Day of
Resurrection is as self-invented. But actually they are disbelievers. According
to the fixed Laws of Allah Almighty, they shall be punished in the world as well as on the
Doomsday.
