Arrogance of the
Children of Israel (L – 493),
3:181&182
Surah ‘Aali- ‘Imraan (The Family of Imran -3),
Stage– 1, Verses – 181
& 182 of 200, Section 19 of 20, (Part – 4)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
181. Verily Allah heard the saying of
those who said, (when asked for contributions to the war): “Allah, forsooth,
is poor, and we are rich!” We shall record their saying and their slaying of
the Prophets unjustly and We shall say: Taste ye the punishment of
burning!
182. this is on account of that which
your own hands have sent before (you to the judgment) and Allah is no Oppress
or of (His) bondmen.

Lesson
Another
shameless villainy of the Children of Israel has been described in this verse.
Firstly, they do not expend in the Way of Allah Almighty due to hoarding up.
Secondly, whenever they hear the order to expend for the Cause of Allah
Almighty, they joke on it and become arrogant of Allah Almighty. When the verse
“Man zallazii yuq-ri-zUllaaha qar-zan hasanaaa” (Who is he, who will lend money to Allah without interest,
which will be repaid at the pleasure of the borrower) revealed, they said,
“Does Allah borrow loan from us? If it is so, then Allah is beggar and poor (Let
us flee to God), and we are rich and free.
It needs some
close attention here that Allah Almighty named the money as a loan to which
will be expended in the good works. Doing so, He proved His perfect Mercy and
Kindness. He causes to bear the spending money (which has already been bestowed
by Him to us) for our own welfare. He will not get any profit or gain while we
shall be spending, then how can it be called “Loan”? It is only His Beneficence
that He promises to pay us best retaliation/ remuneration against our expending
money for our own welfare and He names it as a loan. But the Jews began to get
it as a joke due to their wickedness instead of accepting it as Allah’s
Kindness and prated such foolish talk in the Dignity of Allah Almighty. He
commands that He has heard their sayings and He shall punish them on their
arrogance.
They had been
slaying the innocent and sinless Prophets (peace be upon them). As they have
spoken rude words on the Superiority of Allah Almighty, likewise they were
arrogant in the dignity of the Prophets (peace be upon them) also. Due to this
reason, they deserved punishment of burning in the Fire of the Hell.
