truth and act justly in accordance with it. (Qur'an, 7:159)
God praises a community from the people of Moses, who act
justly and guide to the truth because of this behavior. There is much
wisdom in God's sending this verse. It describes in a perfect manner

the attitude that Muslims should adopt towards sincere Jews.

Examination of Verse 65 of Surat al-Baqara:

Remember when We made the covenant with

you and lifted up the Mount above your heads:
"Take hold vigorously of what We have given

you and pay heed to what is in it, so that hope-

fully you will have fear of God." (Qur'an,
2:63)

Then after that you turned away, and were it

not for God's favor to you and His mercy, you
would have been among the lost. (Qur'an, 2:64)

You are well aware of those of you who broke

the Sabbath. We said to them, "Be apes,
despised, cast out." (Qur'an, 2:65)
