Commentary
It was described earlier that
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) prayed in favor of the Children of Israel,
that this nation should be made the most superior and respectable in the world
as well as in the Hereafter. In response to this prayer, Allah Almighty
revealed: Superiority and honor does not depend on race or nationality, but it
depends on obedience of Allah Almighty.
The Children of Israel proved with
their later on behavior that they consider the Commands of Allah Almighty
nothing. They flee from the religion and run towards those things openly; from
which they have been forbidden. That’s why, they were kept and will be kept
suffering from the humiliation and degradation in the world, and on the Day of
Resurrection, they will be punished very severely. It has been mentioned in
Torah and Gospel till today. The same has been revised in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah,
‘Aali-‘Imraan and ‘Al-‘A’-Raaf etc. in Holy Qur’an,
so that the Muslims should take it a warning for themselves from their
circumstances and understand properly that those people who disobey the
commands of Allah Almighty, whose behavior is ingratitude and who are arrogant,
they are kept contemptible and disgraced in the world and the Hereafter. The
same has been described in this verse.
It is commanded that none should
forget this happening. Allah Almighty says: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him): Your Lord proclaimed clearly that He has predestinated
the disgrace and the baseness for the Children of Israel for ever due to their
rebellion and immorality. Such people will be born continuously in the world until
the Judgment Day who will put them in difficulties and keep them bruised if
they did not correct their behavior, and in addition, your Lord will punish
them with severe wrath on the Day of Resurrection, because He is Swift in
prosecution. Nothing can prevent Him from doing so. Besides this, verily He
forgives the sins of those who repent and ward off evil, and He is most
Merciful too and sends down His Mercy for them who put themselves right.
The history witnesses that the
Children of Israel remained despised and loathed always due to the reason of
their own wicked deeds. During the ancient times, they were ruined and
destroyed by the Ionians, Bukht Nasar and many others. In the
present era; Germany and Hungry etc. banished them, and now they have been living
with the support of others. There will be no abode for them if their supporters
leave them today. And this all has been described for the Muslims’ admonition
and precept.
Allah Almighty has
promised for the success and victory of the Muslims also at many places in
Holy Qur’an, but with the condition that; if they will remain
obedient of the Commands of Allah Almighty, then they will be provided with
support and victory, because Islam is the name of God’s obedience. Without
obedience; claim of being Muslim is hypocrisy only. And its punishment is the
same as mentioned above.
