Sensuality and slaying the Prophets (L-117)
|
87b.
أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰٓ
أَنفُسُكُمُ ٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ |
|
87b. ‘Afa-kullamaa jaaa-‘akum Rasuulum- bimaa
laa tahwaaa ‘anfu-sukumus-takbar-tum. Fa-fariiqan-
kazzabtum wa fariiqan-taqtuluun. |

87b. Is it ever so, that, when there comes unto you a
Messenger (from Allah) with that which you yourself desire not, you grow
arrogant, and some of you disbelieve and some you slay? |
God Almighty has bestowed two powers upon the human beings:
- Power of Belief (faith, religion, certainty and confidence).
- Power of practice (procedure, compliance, operation and action).
If these both powers are right and straight forward; then the path of object becomes easy. In the previous verses, Allaah Almighty has described concerning those wicked deeds and crimes of the Children of Israel which belong to their power of practice. That is to say, they used to slay one another themselves and exile the feeble people. Now, weaknesses of the power of their belief and trust have been disclosed in this verse.
God Almighty commands, “We bestowed a Book to Moses (peace be upon him) for their guidance, but when the Children of Israel began to change the Commands of this Scripture and disobey them, then We sent many Prophets after Moses (peace be upon them). But these people continued disobeying some of them and even they slew some of them (peace be upon them) also. Then We sent Jesus (peace be upon him) with the Holy Scripture Gospel, and for proving his truth, We bestowed many Miracles to him, and appointed Angel, Gabriel (peace be upon him) to support him, but the Jews did not refrain from their habits and got ready to slay him (peace be upon him)”.
Now Allaah Almighty says, “Your circumstances are also strange, whenever any Messenger (peace be upon him) brought the command of Allaah Almighty against your personal desires and sensual wishes, you turned away from it with proud, falsified some Prophets (peace be upon them) and slew some of them.
Allaah Almighty bestowed many miracles upon Messenger Jesus (peace be
upon him). For instance; he (peace be upon him) was bestowed to heal the
blinds as having sight, cure the lepers and make the patients healthy, God
Almighty produced him (peace be upon him) without father and bestowed power to
speak in the cradle etc. But even then, the Children of Israel did
not believe in him (peace be upon him) and continued opposing and committing
troublesome acts.
