2:67

Salaam all,

This is 2:67
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَذْبَحُواْ بَقَرَةً قَالواْ أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُواً قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ
Transliteration:
Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi inna Allaha ya/murukum an tathbahoobaqaratan qaloo atattakhithuna huzuwan qalaaAAoothu biAllahi an akoona mina aljahileena

Note:
The AYAH says “And as Moses said to his people: The GOD orders you to slaughter a cow. They (his people) said: Do you make us taken for your mockery? He (Moses) said: I refuge myself in GOD that I am one of those who lack knowledge/ignorant.”

My personal note:
The big message that I get from this AYAH is the fact that Moses viewed Mocking people as a sign of lack of knowledge or ignorance. This is a message that humanity needs to remember.

The significance of the cow will come in later AYAT.
