Commentary
God Almighty is reminding the Children
of Israel His favors on them one by one, so that they should give up evil
deeds keeping these favors in view and come back unto the straight path.
In this verse, previous incident is
being explained constantly. When a group from the Children
of Israel said to the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), “We will see
Allah Almighty with our apparent and material eyes manifestly”, the lightning
seized them due to this arrogance and they all died. When Prophet Moses (peace
be upon Him) saw them dead, He called upon God Almighty and prayed, “O my Lord!
I brought these people to witness before the Children of Israel. Now they
have died. What shall I reply the nation and produce before them argument? Then
Allah Almighty brought them to life again.
God Almighty has drawn their attention
towards that fact in this verse and Commanded that they should remember His
favor: Then We revived you after your extinction, that ye might give thanks”.
There is only one way to give thanks to God Almighty, “Obey His Commandments
leaving the path of infidelity and deviation.”
It appears from this incident that
arrogance in the Court of God Almighty and unreasonable demands from Him is
biggest sin and its punishment is very painful. Those people wished to see God
Almighty with their material eyes, whereas, it was impossible for the human
being till the time living in this world and they were punished due to this
arrogance.
So, we should accept and believe in
every commandment and order of Allah Almighty and His last Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon Him) also without any doubt and dispute. We should
never try to grow any fault finding, criticism and argument in it
unnecessarily, because it becomes habit of the human being to find faults in
every matter. The individuals who become habitual of finding faults, they shirk
from work always. They are rich of talking only.
