[Baqarah 2:49] (And remember) When We rescued you from Firaun’s people, for they were inflicting you with a dreadful torment, slaying your sons and sparing your daughters; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord (or a great reward). [Baqarah 2:50] And when We split the sea for you thereby rescuing you, and drowned the Firaun's people in front of your eyes. [Baqarah 2:51] And when We made a commitment with Moosa (Moses) for forty nights - then behind him you started worshipping the calf, and you were unjust. [Baqarah 2:52] Then after that We pardoned you so that you may be grateful. [Baqarah 2:53] And when We gave Moosa the Book (Taurat / Torah) and the criterion to judge right from wrong, so that you may attain guidance. [Baqarah 2:54] And when Moosa said to his people, "O my people! You have wronged yourselves by taking the calf,* therefore turn in repentance to your Creator, therefore kill each other; this is better for you before your Creator"; He therefore accepted your repentance; indeed He only is the Most Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful. (* as your deity for worship) [Baqarah 2:55] And when you said "O Moosa! We will not believe you till we clearly see Allah"; so the thunder seized you while you were watching. [Baqarah 2:56] Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that you may be grateful. [Baqarah 2:57] And We made the clouds a canopy for you and sent down Manna and Salwa on you; “Eat of the pure things We have provided you”; they did not wrong Us in the least, but indeed they wronged themselves. |
