Choosing the calf
for worship
Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful
|
92. And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah’s
Sovereignty), yet while he was away, ye chose the calf (for worship) and ye were
wrongdoers.
93. And when We made with you a covenant and caused the
(Mount) Toor to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given
you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and disobey. And (worship of)
the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of
the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on
you, if ye are believers.

Commentary
In the previous verse, Allah Almighty
has proved that the claim of the Jews was wrong that they were following
entirely the Divine Law of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) and now; they do
not need any new Religion or Divine law. God Almighty commanded against it that
they used to falsify their many Prophets and some of Them (peace be upon them) were
even slain by them.
Now in this verse, God Almighty commands
that He sent the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) and bestowed Him also a lot
of miracles but knowing all this, even then, the Children of Israel began
worshipping of the calf. They gave up Oneness of God and overtook infidelity
and ascribed plurality with God Almighty.
Then Allah Almighty made covenant with them in the base of Mount Sinai on some Orders to
be obeyed. At that time, due to fear of God Almighty, they promised but later
on, they refused to admit it. So at last, Allah, the Most High says, “If your
faith, of which you claim, teaches you to slay the Prophets (peace be upon
Them), worship the calf instead of God Almighty and break the covenant, then
your this faith teaches you wrong-doings. How can it be a true Belief?
