74. Then, even after that, your
hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, for hardness.
For indeed there are some rocks from which rivers gush, and indeed there are
rocks which split asunder so that water floweth from them. And indeed there are
rocks which fall down for the fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what
ye do.

Commentary
In the previous
verses, God Almighty commanded about some incidents happened in the history of
the Children of Israel to consider them lessons, from which we may
know that they remained involved in different kinds of evil-doings and
disobedience. God Almighty used to forgive them but they, even then, did not
understand. As though, their hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse
than the rocks, for hardness, because there are some rocks which are useful and
advantageous for the creature of the Creator, some rocks are from which rivers
and springs gush and the people get water for their personal use, for their
animals and for their crops. Hence every field of life needs water, there is no
conception of life without it and that is the great favor of God Almighty, Who
provides us through rocks.
And indeed there are
some rocks which fall down from the peaks of the mountains as they are falling
in the prostration for the fear of Allah Almighty.
The commentators of
the religion have made comments that example of the rocks, from which the
rivers and springs gush, is like the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon
Them) in the population of human beings. Due to their springs of favor and
kindness, the people (the creature of God) quench their spiritual thirst.
Example of the second kind of rocks is like the saints of God Almighty. Many
people reap advantage and blessing from them. Like them, there are the
Believers and Righteous persons, who, if may not guide and correct others, even
then their own faith and deeds remain sound.
Neither the Children
of Israel reaped advantage from the teachings of Prophets (peace be upon
Them), nor they listened to the advice of the servants of God Almighty, as
though, their hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, on
which, no speech becomes effective. And Allah Almighty is Aware of what
the entire individuals do.
