Moses said to his Lord, “Show me, I will look at you.” 00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:38.650 God said to him, “You will not see me, but look at the mountain.” 00:02:39.050 --> 00:02:42.210 If he stays in his place, you will see me 00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:48.530 When the Lord looked at the mountain, God made the mountain level with the ground 00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:51.370 Moses fell unconscious 00:02:51.930 --> 00:02:57.169 When he returned to Moses, peace be upon him, he came out of his trance and said: 00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:02.610 My honor to you, my Lord, and your freedom for anyone to see you in this world 00:03:03.129 --> 00:03:07.449 I repent to you from my request. Beware of what I asked of you regarding the vision 00:03:07.930 --> 00:03:12.009 I am the first of the believers among the children of Israel from my people 00:03:12.409 --> 00:03:15.810 No one will see you in this world but perish 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.879 He said, “O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and my words.” 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:34.800 With my messages and with my words, take what I have given you, and how many are thankful 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.680 God said to Moses 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.039 O Moses, I chose you over people with My messages to My creation 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.360 I sent you with it to them and with my words 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.639 I spoke to you and saved you, without anyone else among my creation 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.280 So take what I have given you of my commands and prohibitions and stick to them 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.439 And be thankful to God for the message He has given you 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:10.199 And We wrote for him on tablets of everything, an admonition and a detailed explanation 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:23.920 A sermon and a detailed explanation of everything, so take it firmly and command your people to take the best of it 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:29.439 I will show you the abode of the sinners 00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:36.250 We wrote to Moses in his tablets of reminders and warnings about the greatness of God 00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:41.930 An admonition to his people and a clarification of everything about God’s commands and prohibitions 00:04:42.569 --> 00:04:46.329 And We said to Moses, “Take the tablets firmly.” 00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:51.769 And command your people, the Children of Israel, to do the best they find therein 00:04:52.449 --> 00:04:55.930 Take it hard at work including diligence 00:04:56.569 --> 00:04:59.449 For those who associate me with me are among them and others 00:04:59.930 --> 00:05:03.370 In the afterlife, I will show him the abode of the transgressors 00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:07.370 It is the fire of God that He prepared for His enemies 00:05:34.259 --> 00:05:41.620 God told that He would ignore His evidence and signs of the truth of what He commanded His servants to do 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:46.199 And every existing thing is from His creation and from His signs 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.240 The Qur’an is also one of its verses 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.199 He will turn away from His signs the arrogant people on earth without right 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.600 They denied Our signs and were heedless of them 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:04.980 God told that He would ignore His evidence and signs of the truth of what He commanded His servants to do 00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:09.699 And if he sees those who are arrogant on earth without right 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:14.500 Every argument for God’s oneness and divinity 00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:20.339 They do not believe in this verse that it indicates what it is an argument for 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.300 And if these people see the path of guidance and payment 00:06:24.779 --> 00:06:28.779 They do not follow it and do not make it their own path 00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:31.019 Their ignorance and confusion 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:33.420 And if they see the path to destruction 00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:37.180 They follow it and make it their own way 00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:40.379 For God to divert them from His signs 00:06:41.189 --> 00:06:45.589 This is a punishment from us to them for their disbelief in our verses 00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:50.550 And they were heedless of Our signs and did not think about them 00:06:51.029 --> 00:06:53.990 It is not easy for them to be considered 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:10.019 So they will be rewarded except for what they used to do 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:41.860 The children of Israel took the people of Moses 00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:44.740 After Moses left them 00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:46.740 Going to his Lord, his Lord 00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:48.740 As if they were unjust 00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:04.540 The children of Israel took the people of Moses 00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.100 After Moses left them 00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:09.899 Going to his Lord to pray to Him 00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:14.220 Among their adornments is a calf, a body that has the sound of a cow 00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:15.420 So they worshiped him 00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:19.500 Did he not see those who devoted themselves to the calf worshiping it? 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:23.899 The calf does not speak to them or guide them to a path 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.300 They took the calf to her 00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:30.379 By taking him as their Lord, they were worshiped 00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:32.700 They are unjust to themselves 00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:35.980 To worship them other than those who are worthy of worship 00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:54.929 Whatever fell into their hands, and they saw that they had remained, they said, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we will be among the losers.” 00:08:54.929 --> 00:09:10.570 And when those who worshiped the calf regretted it when Moses returned to them and submitted to Moses and his rule over them, and saw that they had intentionally strayed from the path and disbelieved in their Lord, they said 00:09:10.570 --> 00:09:22.570 Because if our Lord does not show mercy to us by His mercy and cover our sins, we will be among the lost whose deeds have become worthless. 00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:39.500 When Moses returned to his people, he was filled with grief and said: “How miserable is what you left behind me after me.” 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:49.500 You hastened the command of your Lord, and he threw down the tablets and took hold of his brother's head, dragging him to him 00:09:49.500 --> 00:10:15.330 He said, "We are a nation. The people considered me weak and almost killed me. So do not let my enemies gloat over me and do not place me with the unjust people." 00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:28.330 When Moses returned to his people from the Children of Israel, Ghaban returned with regret because God had told him that he had tempted his people and that the Samaritan had led them astray. 00:10:28.330 --> 00:10:39.330 Moses said: “What an evil deed you did after I left you. You preceded the command of your Lord in your souls and turned away from Him.” 00:10:39.330 --> 00:10:49.330 Moses threw the tablets because of his anger at his people for worshiping the calf, and he took hold of his brother’s head, dragging it to him 00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:53.330 Because he blamed his brother Aaron for abandoning his followers 00:10:53.330 --> 00:11:07.330 Aaron said, pleading with himself for his mother's womb, his mother's son, that the people who devoted themselves to worshiping the calf considered me weak and almost killed me. 00:11:07.330 --> 00:11:23.330 So do not let the enemies gloat over me and please them with what you do to me, and do not make me feel that you are against me, and I did not disobey your command in the place of one who disobeyed you and disobeyed your command and worshiped the calf after you and thus wronged himself. 00:11:23.330 --> 00:11:36.320 He said, “Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” 00:11:36.320 --> 00:12:00.379 Moses said, “My Lord, forgive me, asking for forgiveness for what he did to his brother and to his brother from his predecessors.” Between him and God, our sins are covered with a veil from You by which You cover them, and have mercy on us with Your vast mercy, for You are more merciful to Your servants than anyone who has mercy on anything. 00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:17.379 Those who adopted the calf will incur wrath from their Lord and humiliation in this worldly life, and thus We reward the inventors 00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:33.210 Indeed, those who took the calf to it will receive wrath from their Lord because God hastened that for them, and humiliation will befall them for their disbelief in their Lord in the immediate life of this world before the later life of the Hereafter. 00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:49.210 And just as I rewarded those who adopted the calf as their idol, so We will reward everyone who slanders God and acknowledges the divinity of others and worships any idol other than Him, if he does not repent of his disbelief. 00:12:49.210 --> 00:13:09.690 And those who committed evil deeds and then repented from some of them and believed. Indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful from some of them 00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:31.419 He will cover for them their evil deeds and will not expose them to them. He is merciful to them and to all who are like them 00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:48.289 When Moses' anger was silent, he took the tablets, and in their copies was guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord. 00:13:48.289 --> 00:14:05.019 When Moses stopped being angry, he took the tablets after he had thrown them, and what was written on them was an explanation of the truth and a mercy for those who fear God and fear His punishment for their transgressions. 00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:33.919 And Moses chose his people seventy men for Our appointed time, and when the tremor seized them, he said, “My Lord, if You had wished, You could have destroyed them before, and with him, You would destroy us, because of what the foolish among us did.” 00:14:33.919 --> 00:15:00.919 It is nothing but your trial, with which you lead astray whomever you wish and guide whomever you wish. You are our guardian, so forgive us and have mercy on us, and you are the best of forgivers. 00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:14.659 And Moses chose seventy men from his people at the time and the term that God promised him that he would meet him in which he would repent for what had been the actions of their foolish people regarding the calf. 00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:27.779 When He killed them and deprived them of their understanding, Moses stood up and called upon his Lord. What shall I say to the Children of Israel if I come to them and have destroyed the best of them? 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:36.820 If You had wished, You could have destroyed them before, and You could have destroyed us with it, because of what the foolish among us did by worshiping those who worshiped the calf 00:15:36.820 --> 00:16:01.820 This action that my people did is nothing but a test on your part that you afflicted them with so that it may become clear who strays from the truth and who is guided. That you support us, so cover for us our sins by abandoning our punishment for them, and be compassionate to us with your mercy, and you are the best of those who forgive a crime and cover up a sin. 00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:18.259 I leave you to punish her and show her mercy and peace
