The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (30)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (74-75)

{ ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُم مِّن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ الأَنْهَارُ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَاء وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللّهِ وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ } [البقرة: 74]
74- After all these signs, blessings, and warnings, your hearts became as hard as stones that vary in the degrees of solidness. Some of these stones can let water gush forth like fountains, others can let them flow like running water and others may fall from the peak of mountains out of Allah's Fear such as that mountain did when Allah looked at it and Moses fell fainted. Your hearts do not submit or show lenience due to the fear of Allah. Allah is not unmindful of your actions and the solidness of your hearts which are expected to deem bad intentions, but surely, you shall have a Day of Reckoning.

{ أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلاَمَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 75]

75- After you had seen the nature of the Jews, the harshness of their hearts and their denial of Allah's Signs or Ayahs, do you hope, O believers, that they will obey as you did! A sect of their scholars and rabbis listened to the Torah and knew its meanings then they interpreted the meanings different from their correct meanings, however, they knew that they were sinful by doing that
