And Moses chose of his people seventy men to our appointed meeting. So when the tremble took them he said: “My nurturing Lord, if you willed you would have made them perish from before and me. Do you make us perish by what the shallow thinking amongst us did?! It is nothing but your test, you make go astray by it whoever You will and guide whoever You will. You are our guardian so provide protective cover for us and grace us and you are the best of protectors”.
Moses asks the question of whether Allah make others suffer because of the acts of the shallow thinking in the group do. There was no answer to the question but Moses did conclude that we are tested in so many ways and one of those ways is how we react to the acts of those are shallow and stupid in their acts. It suggests that the society needs to restrain the acts of those who do things in contrary to the teachings of Allah within reason and understanding and with lots of patience and forgiveness.
