150a. And when Moses returned
unto his people, angry and grieved, he said: Evil is that (course) which ye
took after I had left you. Would ye hasten on the judgment of your Lord? And
he cast down the tablets, and he seized his brother by the head, dragging him
toward him.

Commentary
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) returned toward His nation from the Mountain
Sinai after completing forty days. Allah Almighty had informed Him already that
the people of His nation had gone astray after Him and they had started worship
of a calf, (idol) made by them, under influence of old mania.
As soon as Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) knew the latest news of His nation, He was enraged and
grieved very much due to ignorance of His nation. In such condition, He (peace
be upon Him) returned toward His nation along with the tablets of Torah and
declared his anger and grief (both).
It is commanded that when Moses
(peace be upon Him) came back toward His nation, He had effect of anger and
grief (collectively) in His heart. No sooner did He reach, then He addressed
His nation: After Me, you did not take care of that which I told you, when I
was going. I made a responsibility over you that instead of Me, you should keep
on protecting the people unanimously from straying, infidelity and polytheism.
I see that you did not obey My Saying, and did let My proxy work be wasted
badly by your negligence. Did I not cause to understand you clearly that I was
going to bring a Law for you from Allah Almighty? After that, I shall bring for
you a complete Code of life in accordance with the promise of Allah, the Most
High. Till that time, you should not institute any vain discourse or ritual at
your own and wait for My returning with patience. Which distress did you suffer
that you did not wait for Me? You began to worship the idol before receiving
the Commands of Allah Almighty.
After addressing the people,
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) cast down the tablets of Torah immediately,
which were in His hands, seized His brother Aaron (peace be upon Him) by the
head and dragged toward Himself. Anger of Moses (peace be upon Him) was not
like other people, who are in a rapture, when they see marring their plan. He
(peace be upon Him) had gone out of His reach due to indignation and enthusiasm
of Faith. He had a strong probability that Aaron (peace be upon Him) had not
performed His duty properly. This passion of supporting the Truth was actually
excitement of the Belief, due to which, He cast down the tablets of Torah,
pulled the hair of His elder brother’s head and beard with force. Neither there
was any selfishness in it and nor the aim to disgrace Aaron (peace be upon
Him), but it was a proclamation that relationship and kinship is nothing in
support of The Right. It was the lesson which was required to be caused to
understand the Children of Israel.
