As Allah SBT saved Bani Israel and called Moses PBUM to give Him the Book, read
Aya: 51
وَإِذْ وَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَنتُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [البقرة : 51]
And when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took the calf after him, and you were wrongdoers.
When there’s no sincere and strong leadership, the human nature is to follow the godfathers , which exist in different forms. This also shows that if the people who know what is wrong and don’t exert an effort to counter it, the system of godfathers will then prevail.
Although Haroon PBUM was there but godfathers of the time convinced the people to follow what they were doing and even prophet Haroon PBUM could not stop them.
Looking at my country, because it has multiple godfathers and people follow them , but the human consciousness which I explained in my previous post, you can’t buy all of them , people will come out and resist the godfathers and that has started happening in our country.
Allah SBT wants repentance first before He forgives. I am optimistic that because of sacrifices of my beloved army officers and jawans Allah will help us
Allah SBT is so merciful that he wants to forgive even the major sins ,so He forgave bani Israel but after accountability which is in next Ayahs
Aya: 52
{ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنكُم مِّن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ} [البقرة : 52]
Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful.
Although the people in hierarchy in this country have made blunders , still Allah SBT is giving us chance.
As a believer the best privilege and blessing is the word of Allah SBT , Second blessing and privilege
Aya: 53
وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion that perhaps you would be guided.
The purpose of the Message of Allah SBT is to guide the human beings and when someone breaks the law should be punished . So Allah SBT forgave Bani Israel after the acceptance of internal accountability which was that all the wicked people who were involved in the worship of calf were killed
Read Aya: 54
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّكُمْ ظَلَمْتُمْ أَنفُسَكُم بِاتِّخَاذِكُمُ الْعِجْلَ فَتُوبُوا إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
And when Moses said to his people, “O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship].So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
My feelings about my country are that after sacrifice of so many people both civilians and law enforcement agencies , people have started realizing that what mistakes were made and also different godfathers are being identified , Allah SBT will accept our repentance Inshaallah
Inshaallah will continue with blessing and privileges for selected people i.e. Bani Israel and it’s relevance to us next time.
