The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (18)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (51 -53)


{ وَإِذْ وَاعَدْنَا مُوسَى أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَأَنْتُمْ ظَالِمُونَ } [البقرة: 51]

51- Remember also when Moses went to the place where he spoke to his Lord and appointed Aaron as his deputy. Moses stayed there for forty days and the Torah was sent down to him. Then you took the calf as a god and worshipped it by the command of Al Samiry [one of the Samaritan]. That deed was terrible and contained great aggression against yourselves as you had chosen the calf as a worshipped god other than Allah.

{ ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ } [البقرة: 52]

52- However, Allah has pardoned you so that you may thank Him and recognize His Favors upon you.

{ وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ } [البقرة: 53]

53– And remember, of Our Favors upon you that we sent down the Torah to Moses as a revealed book and a proof to separate between the truth and falsehood so that you may be guided by reflecting on it and acting according to its instructions.
