Commentary
Naraa – (we shall see). Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) brought seventy chosen persons from the Children
of Israel on the Sinai Mount for causing to hear the Speech of God
Almighty. When they heard the Word, they said, “O Moses! We do not believe in
listening from the veil. Show us with open eyes.
‘Akhazat-kumus-saa-‘iqatu – (the lightning seized you). The
Children of Israel were falsifying the words of Prophet Moses (peace
be upon Him) and claiming that they were desirous of looking God with open eyes,
otherwise they would not believe in Him. So they were punished as the lightning
fell suddenly upon them due to which their eyes were dazzled and their eyesight
became unable to see anything.
It has been discussed earlier that when
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) went on the Sinai Mount for obtaining Guide
Book (Torah) for the Children of Israel, they began worshiping the calf in
His absence and involved in plurality of God. When He returned, it was proclaimed
by Allah Almighty that they should kill one another as punishment of plurality
with Him. Then they began killing one another. At that time God, the Most High
relented and their penitence was accepted.
After that, seventy old-men from the
Children of Israel demanded that they would go on the Mount of Sinai with
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) to hear the Word of God Almighty. Prophet Moses
brought them with Himself. He instructed them to stay in the feet of Mountain
and went on the Mountain Himself. God Almighty spoke with the Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) and after returning He told them. Then they said, “We wish
to see God Almighty with our sight”.
