00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,429
A Verse and Its Tafsir.

2
00:00:04,429 --> 00:00:08,060
Allah Almighty said:

3
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:22,109
"And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, 'Evil is that which you have done in my place after me!'"

4
00:00:22,109 --> 00:00:25,309
When Moses returned from the appointed meeting with his Lord,

5
00:00:25,309 --> 00:00:29,109
he found his people worshiping the calf besides Allah.

6
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:31,309
So he, peace be upon him, became angry,

7
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:34,310
and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, had already been angered before that,

8
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:37,310
informing us of this when He said:

9
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:45,310
“Lo! Those who chose the calf (for worship), terror from their Lord and humiliation will come upon them in the life of the world. Thus do We requite those who invent a lie.” (7:152)

10
00:00:45,310 --> 00:00:48,310
"And thus do We recompense the fabricators."

11
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:54,310
Then Allah opened the doors in the next verse to whoever wished to repent,

12
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:57,310
even from among those idolaters,

13
00:00:57,310 --> 00:00:58,310
and so He said:

14
00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:03,310
“But those who do ill-deeds and afterward repent and believe - lo! for them, afterward, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (7:153)

15
00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:08,310
"Indeed, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful."

16
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:11,500
So what do you think, O servants of Allah,

17
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,500
of a Muslim who proclaims that there is no god but Allah,

18
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:18,500
and then disobeys Allah through some act of sin?

19
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:23,500
Is he not even more worthy of the glad tidings of acceptance if he repents and turns back to Allah?

20
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,500
Yes, indeed, by Allah!

21
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:30,569
For from the frail servant comes remorse, seeking forgiveness, and repentance,

22
00:01:30,569 --> 00:01:35,569
and from the Generous Lord comes pleasure, pardon, and mercy:

23
00:01:35,569 --> 00:01:41,569
“But those who do ill-deeds and afterward repent and believe - lo! for them, afterward, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (7:153)

24
00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:46,569
"Indeed, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful."
