Commentary
At
this time, circumstances of which people are being explained, namely the
Children of Israel, they had been trapped in the grip of the people, who were
like them. Tyrant and despotic Egyptians used to take work in labor from them
by force. Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) said to them: You have no choice
but to be patient. Moreover, you should understand that certainly, there is a Strong
Supporter of yours. He is Creator and Manager of this entire world. He has made
Pharaoh and his people powerful at this time due to His own Philosophy. The aim
from it is that you should incline toward Allah Almighty being helpless,
implore earnestly and humbly before Him, and beg for His help by producing your
humility. There is no doubt in it that in such condition, it is the only
device, which is efficacious surely. But there is a need of patience in it.
Accordingly,
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) said to his people that they should ask God
Almighty for help and be patient in this time of trouble. The Children of
Israel confused due to advice of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) and
requested fearfully: O Moses (peace be upon Him): we suffered hurt before your
coming unto us and now, while you have come, we have been suffering
continuously that our sons would be slain as soon as they will be born, so that
we may be annihilated. Is there any limit of patience? How much should we be
patient?
Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) commanded them after hearing: Don’t lose your
courage. Strengthen your hearts. You will behold very soon that your adversary
is ruined and destroyed and entire power and control has been handed over to
you at his place, so that you are provided opportunity to work and observed:
Which ways are adopted by you when you have power and control? Whether you
become tyrant and blood-thirsty being in a rapture like Pharaoh or by doing
works of humanity, you dwell with comfort and keep others too dwelling in peace
and ease?
Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) is going to cause to understand His nation that every kind
of happenings come over the nations in the world like distress and easing,
affliction and relief, strength and weakness etc. These all conditions are for
examining the mankind. Human being is that who recognize Allah Almighty in all
conditions, develop own relationship with Him, and consider that comfort and
relaxation, distress and calamities etc. are transitory. Neither should he
forget Allah Almighty in comfort and nor be careless from His remembrance in
calamity.
