waste grief on this deviant people." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 25-26)
As mentioned here, some of the Children of Israel were prohibited
from the Promised Land for forty years, due to their insolence towards Allah
and His messenger.
For much of his life, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) had tried to communi-
cate Allah's message to them. He strove to save his tribe from the worship
of idols and guide them to the true religion. His aim was merely to warn
people and save them from the torment of Hell, a mission which he carried
solely to earn the good pleasure of Allah. To this purpose, he had con-
fronted Pharaoh and had attempted to rid his people's beliefs of supersti-
tion. Nevertheless, he became the object to the cruelties of Pharaoh, as well
as some of his own people. However, he was a noble servant, who lived
merely to attain the good pleasure of Allah, and our Lord saved him from
all difficulties inflicted upon him.
There are lessons to be drawn from the ingratitude of some of the
Children of Israel, a people who did not follow in their Prophets' footsteps,
who turned their backs to the religion entrusted to them, and so perverse as
to say, "you and your Lord go and fight." Allah has warned mankind
against succumbing to the insolence of some of the Children of Israel to-
wards their Prophet:
You who believe! Do not be like those who abused Moses. Allah ab-
solved him of what they said and he was highly honored with
Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab: 69)

Do not let their wealth and children impress
you. Allah merely wants to punish them by

them during their life in this world and for
them to expire while they are disbelievers.
(Surat at-Tawba: 55)
