O Muslims - 58

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:

69. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takoonoo kaallatheena athaw moosa fabarraahu Allahu mimmaqaloo wakana AAinda Allahi wajeehan


33:69. O you who believe! Be not like those who offended Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said.14 And he had an honourable standing with Allah.


14. The Qur’aan does not specify what his people had said that offended Moses. Jewish and Christian scriptures do give some details, but since Allah Ta’ala, in His wisdom, has not thought it fit to divulge the offending accusations, we should not even try to find out what those were. People of Medina had also similarly offended Prophet Muhammad, but the Qur’aan has not divulged what that offending episode was, except for giving a general admonition to the people against believing in unsubstantiated rumours.
