Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 75

seem too long to you, or did you want to unleash your Lord's
anger upon yourselves so that you broke your promise to me?"
They replied: "We did not break our promise to you of our own
volition. But we were weighed down with the heavy loads of
the people's jewelry and we threw them in, for that is what
Samiri did." Then he [Samiri] produced a calf for them, a
physical form that made a lowing sound. So they said: "This is

your deity – and Moses' deity as well, but he forgot." Could
they not see that it did not reply to them and that it had no
power to either harm or benefit them? Aaron had earlier said to
them: "My people! It is just a trial for you. Your Lord is the All-
Merciful, so follow me and obey my command!" They replied:
"We will not stop devoting ourselves to it until Moses returns
to us." (Surah Ta Ha, 83-91)
He [Moses] asked: "What did you think you were doing,
Samiri?" He answered: "I saw what they did not see. So I
gathered up a handful from the messenger's footprints and
threw it in. That is what my inner self urged me to do." He
[Moses] exclaimed: "Leave! In this world, you will have to say:
'Untouchable!' And you have an appointment that you will not
fail to keep. Look at your deity to which you devoted so much
time. We will burn it up and then scatter it as dust in the sea.

Your deity is Allah alone. There is no deity but Him. He
encompasses all things in His knowledge." (Surah Ta Ha, 95-98)
Clearly, a Messenger responds to hypocrites with
determination. Allah tells our Prophet (saas):

O Prophet! Strive against the unbelievers and the hypocrites,
and be harsh with them. Their refuge is hell. What an evil
destination! (Surat at-Tahrim, 9)
