Adoring the self-fabricated calf (L-122)

92. وَلَقَدْ
جَآءَكُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ
بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمْ ظَٰلِمُونَ وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ
وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ
وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُوا۟ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ
ٱلْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِهِۦٓ إِيمَٰنُكُمْ إِن
كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ93. |

92. And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), yet while he was away, you chose the calf (for worship) and you were wrongdoers. 93. And when We made with you a covenant and caused the
(Mount) Toor to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given
you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and disobey. And (worship of)
the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of
the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoins on you,
if you are believers. |
In the previous verse, Allaah Almighty has proved that the claim of the Jews was wrong that they were following entirely the Divine Law of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and then; they did not need any new Religion or Divine law. God Almighty commanded against it that they used to falsify their many Prophets and some of them (peace be upon them) were even slain by them.
Now in this verse, God Almighty commands that He sent Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and bestowed him also many miracles but knowing all this, even then, the Children of Israel began worshipping the calf. They gave up Oneness of God and chose infidelity and ascribed plurality with God Almighty.
Then Allaah Almighty made covenant with them in the base of Mount
Sinai on some Orders to be obeyed. At that time, due to fear of God
Almighty, they promised but later on, they refused to admit it. So at last, Allaah
Almighty says, “If your faith, of which you claim, teach you to slay the
Prophets (peace be upon them), worship the calf instead of God Almighty and
break the covenant, then your such faith teaches you wrong-doings. How can it
be a true Belief?
