Commentary
God Almighty has bestowed two powers upon
the human beings:
- Power
of Belief (faith, religion, certainty and confidence).
- Power
of practice (procedure compliance, operation and action).
If these both powers are right and straight
forward then the path of object becomes easy. In the previous verses, God
Almighty has described about those wicked deeds and crimes of the Children
of Israel which belong to their power of practice. That is to say, they
used to slay one another themselves and exile the feeble people. Now,
weaknesses of the power of their belief and trust have been disclosed in this
verse.
God Almighty commands, “We bestowed a Book
to Moses (peace be upon Him) for their guidance, but when the Children
of Israel began to change the Commands of this Scripture and disobey
them, then We sent many Prophets after Moses (peace be upon Them). But these
people continued disobeying some of Them and even they slew some of Them (peace
be upon Them) also. Then We sent Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) with the Holy
Scripture Gospel, and for proving His truth, We bestowed many Miracles upon
Him, and appointed the Angel, Gabriel (peace be upon Him) to support Him, but
the Jews did not refrain from their habits and prepared to slay Him (peace be
upon Him)”.
Now Allah Almighty says, “your circumstances
are also strange, whenever any Messenger (peace be upon Him) brought the command
of God Almighty against your personal desires and sensual wishes, you turned away
from it with proud, falsified some Prophets (peace be upon Them) and slew some
of Them.
Allah Almighty bestowed many miracles upon Messenger Jesus Christ
(peace be upon Him). For instance; He (peace be upon Him) was bestowed to
heal the blinds as having sight, cure the lepers and make the patients
healthy, God Almighty produced Him (peace be upon Him) without father and bestowed
power to speak in the cradle etc. But even then, the Children
of Israel did not believe in Him (peace be upon Him) and continued
opposing and committing troublesome acts.
