Salaam all,

Waoktub lana fee hathihi alddunya hasanatan wafee alakhirati inna hudna ilayka qala AAathabee oseebu bihi man ashao warahmatee wasiAAat kulla shayin fasaaktubuha lillatheena yattaqoona wayutoona alzzakata waallatheena hum biayatina yuminoona

The Aya says:
And mandate for us in this life a beauty and in the next one. We indeed repented to You. He (Allah) responded: “My punishment I touch with it whoever I will and my Grace easily encompassed everything. So, I will mandate it to those who act consciously and provide fruitfulness and those who cause safety/ trust by our signs.

My personal note:
The Aya gives Moses a very important indication and that is Allah’s grace and mercy are not haphazard. They are mandated to people who fulfil certain criteria and work on themselves. The criteria are act with consciousness and conscience of Allah and providing fruitfulness which includes charity and any form of sharing whether knowledge, a smile and whatever and those two criteria are included in those who provide safety and trust through Allah signs. The safety and trust that they cause are mainly for themselves but also for all of humanity and that is the essence of a person with Iman, they are safe and trusting in Allah and they seek His help and use His instructions in making themselves safer and more trustworthy and also making the whole world safer to all who are in it. May Allah help us in this endeavor.

The Aya says:
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”.

My personal note:
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.

Qala rabbi ighfir lee waliakhee waadkhilna fee rahmatika waanta arhamu alrrahimeena

The Aya says:
He (Moses) said: “My nurturing Lord, provide protective cover for me and for my brother and enter us in your grace. And You are the most graceful of the ones who grant grace.

My personal note:
I did translate two words a little different from their usual translation. The first word is IGHFIR which would be translated as forgive. However does mean forgiveness in the form of protection from the ill effects of the sins or even sometimes protection from falling into sin. So, I used the protective cover as the translation here because it provides a wider base of understanding than the narrower term of forgiveness.

The other three words are derived from the root R-HA-M and this is often translated as mercy. The root is for the word Womb and I felt that grace may be a better fit for that concept in this context at least because it contains the generosity of accepting the request to be graced with Allah’s womb like treatment which encompasses, love and acceptance and generosity and many other things.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Qala: He (Moses) said/ communicated
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.
rabbi: my nurturing lord
Note: the root is R-B-B and it means nurturing and Lordship as two components of the meaning that can be present together or one at a time according to the context of the sentence. RABBI is my nurturing Lord.
Ighfir lee: forgive me/ provide protective cover for me
Note: IGHFIR is derived from the root GH-F-R or GHAIN-F-R and it means covering for protection. The concrete word is the helmet of the fighter. GHAFOOR is the one that covers to protect. This, in turn means protection from committing the sin and protection from the consequences of sin, which also means forgiving. IGHFIR is a request addressed to a singular. It means: protect or cover. LEE means for me.

Waliakhee: and to my brother
Waadkhilna: and enter us/ and make us enter
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

Walamma rajaAAa moosa ila qawmihi ghadbana asifan qala bisama khalaftumoonee min baAAdee aAAajiltum amra rabbikum waalqa alalwaha waakhatha birasi akheehi yajurruhu ilayhi qala ibna omma inna alqawma istadAAafoonee wakadoo yaqtuloonanee fala tushmit biya alaAAdaa walatajAAalnee maAAa alqawmi alththalimeena

The Aya says:
And when Moses came back to his people in severe anger, he said: “Terrible is what you did after me. Did you hurry the implement of your Nurturing Lord?!” and he threw away the tablets and took his brother by his head dragging him. He (his brother) said: “Son of my mother the people indeed took me for powerless and were nearly going to kill me, so do not make the enemies rejoice at my predicament and do not lump me with the unjust people”

My personal note:
The term ASIFAN denotes in general a severe or deep feeling of anger, regret and also sadness. It can be any of the three or the three combined together. In this context Moses could have had some feelings of sadness and regret but the predominant reaction to his people’s action was certainly anger.

The term “Did you hurry the implement of your Lord” in here denotes a message to his people would require a response from Allah in a form of punishment that they will be deserving of and he was asking them if they are ready to receive that punishment.

It is also interesting to see the response of Aaron to his brother in that he was weak and powerless in the face of the people and their insistence to do the wrong thing. The Qur’an never blames Aaron for his stance as if accepting that in the face of weakness it may be better to take the stance of giving advice to do the opposite while preserving some cohesion in the community that you are in. It reserves more aggressive actions only when the person has the ability to do it and the power and support and resources to do it.
