Lesson
Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) returned toward His nation from the Mountain Sinai after
completing forty days. Allah Almighty had informed Him already that the people
of His nation had gone astray after Him and they had started worship of a calf,
(idol) made by them, under influence of old mania.
As soon as Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) knew the latest
news of His nation, He was enraged and grieved very much due to ignorance of
His nation. In such condition, He (peace be upon Him) returned toward His
nation along with the tablets of Torah and declared his anger and grief (both).
It is
commanded that when Moses (peace be upon Him) came back toward His nation, He
had effect of anger and grief (collectively) in His heart. No sooner did He
reach, then He addressed His nation: After Me, you did not take care of that
which I told you, when I was going. I made a responsibility over you that
instead of Me, you should keep on protecting the people unanimously from
straying, infidelity and polytheism. I see that you did not obey My Saying, and
did let My proxy work be wasted badly by your negligence. Did I not cause to
understand you clearly that I was going to bring a Law for you from Allah
Almighty? After that, I shall bring for you a complete Code of life in
accordance with the promise of Allah, the Most High. Till that time, you should
not institute any vain discourse or ritual at your own and wait for My
returning with patience. Which distress did you suffer that you did not wait
for Me? You began to worship the idol before receiving the Commands of Allah
Almighty.
After
addressing the people, Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) cast down the tablets
of Torah immediately, which were in His hands, seized His brother Aaron (peace
be upon Him) by the head and dragged toward Himself. Anger of Moses (peace be
upon Him) was not like other people, who are in a rapture, when they see
marring their plan. He (peace be upon Him) had gone out of His reach due to
indignation and enthusiasm of Faith. He had a strong probability that Aaron
(peace be upon Him) had not performed His duty properly. This passion of
supporting the Truth was actually excitement of the Belief, due to which, He
cast down the tablets of Torah, pulled the hair of His elder brother’s head and
beard with force. Neither there was any selfishness in it and nor the aim to
disgrace Aaron (peace be upon Him), but it was a proclamation that relationship
and kinship is nothing in support of The Right. It was the lesson which was
required to be caused to understand the Children of Israel.
