✅Surah Baqarah-
✅Tafsir : Ayat 57-59:

1️⃣Ayat 57:
Allah (swt) says- ‘And we shaded the clouds upon you (to protect you from the scorching heat) and sent down food
(al-manna: to indicate huge favour given to the Bani Israel as they had no source of food , water or even shelter in the desert)

✏️’manna’ مَنّ- honey like substance that is sweet , it was like a Dew that was sent early morning . It was like a dessert that they could relish.
✏️’Salwa’ سلوى - It’s kind of a bird meat (Quail) that they were provided with.

2️⃣Allah (swt) says- “Eat the good things that we have provided you “
Even after getting those blessings, they were ungrateful.
So Allah says - “With their ingratitude, they did not wrong us or cause us any harm but they wronged themselves! They committed injustice against themselves! “

‎وَظَلَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰۖ كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمْۖ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

3️⃣Ayat 58:
And also remember the favour when Allah (swt.) gave a command to the Bani Israel that- ‘All of you enter this city’ (referred to as their home -Jerusalem )
✏️Literal meaning of ‘Qarya’ - قَرْيَة -population / town.

4️⃣Musa(as.) said to his people - “O my people! enter the city that Allah (swt.) has written for you “
‘And whenever you enter this city, eat from it wherever you want to, without any restrictions’.
And as soon as you enter your hometown , fall in prostration as a gratitude for getting back home safely , and beg Allah(swt.) for forgiveness ,
We will forgive your sins and increase your reward.

‎وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا ٱدۡخُلُواْ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةَ فَكُلُواْ مِنۡهَا حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمۡ رَغَدًا وَٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ نَّغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ خَطَٰيَٰكُمْۚ وَسَنَزِيدُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

حِنْطة (‘Hinta’. ✏️
✏️’Hitta’ -Arabic: حِطَّة

5️⃣Ayat 59:
When they entered , they were told to say ‘Hitta’ (Ask for forgiveness)
But they altered the words and substituted it with ‘Hinta’ (which means wheat grain) and said ‘we want grains’ , because they were mocking Allah (swt) and the ones who saved them.

6️⃣So Allah (swt.) sent down a filthy punishment from the sky (It’s said that it was plague) , that was so severe that made them shiver because of their selfishness and greedy attitude.
They repeatedly crossed limits and disobeyed Allah.

‎فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوۡلًا غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمۡ فَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رِجۡزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ

Surah Baqarah: Ayat 54-56 ( word to word translation)

✅Surah Baqarah-
✅Tafsir : Ayat 54-56

1️⃣Ayat 54 :
And recall what Musa (a.s) said to his people (the Bani Israel) .
He said : “O my people! Indeed you have committed injustice against yourselves , by worshipping the calf.
All of you repent and turn back to your creator , and it’s better for those amongst you to be killed -who worshipped the calf . “

2️⃣“You turned in Tauba -( Regretting and stopping a sin) ,
so Allah also accepted your repentance because indeed , he is the greatest acceptor of repentance and the most merciful! (forgiving repeatedly)

✏️word meaning: {قوم - Qaum: Nation , one people}

‎وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ فَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمْۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

3️⃣Ayat 55:

The bani Israel stubbornly said - “ O Musa , we will never believe in you and we’re never going to accept that this book (Taurat) is from Allah , until we see him (Allah swt. ) clearly!

4️⃣ “And then you saw the lightening thunderbolt ⚡️falling from the sky on you , while you were looking! “
{They were dead on the spot as a punishment from Allah(swt) }

‎وَإِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ نَرَى ٱللَّهَ جَهۡرَةً فَأَخَذَتۡكُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ

5️⃣Ayat 56 :

“And then we resurrected/ revived you after your death .
You died when the thunderbolt ⚡️ struck you , but Allah (swt.) gave your life again so that you would be grateful for another chance to live. “

✅Tafsir : Ayat 51-53

1️⃣Ayat 51 :
“And recall when we made an appointment (promise) with Musa (a.s) , at the ‘mount Tur’ for 40 nights“ .
It was for 30 nights originally , but Allah (swt ) extended it to 40 nights.
Musa (a.s ) came not just to rescue them (Bani Israel) , but as a messenger also , because they had forgotten their religion , after being enslaved for years, and they had to be taught again, to spread knowledge to other people .

2️⃣They were given the book of ‘Tawrat’ , which was revealed to Musa (a.s) by Allah (swt) , at the ‘Mount Tur’ ,

They made the calf idol out of gold for worshipping. They committed ‘shirk’,

5️⃣Ayat 52:
Allah (swt) did not punish them immediately for what they did.
“And then we forgave you even after you worshipped the calf , so that you would be grateful. “

‎ثُمَّ عَفَوۡنَا عَنكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

6️⃣ Ayat 53:
“Then we gave the book (‘Tawrat’) to Musa, Which served as a criterion,{ to guide the ‘Bani Israel’ through what is right and wrong. }
So that you would obtain guidance .(Hidayah) “
Allah (swt) gave them the greatest blessing of the revelation of ‘Tawrat’ , for their guidance.

‎وَإِذۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ
