Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar 33

“Why have you hurried on ahead of your people, Musa?”
He [Musa] said, “They are following in my tracks. I have
hurried on ahead to You, my Lord, to gain Your good
pleasure.” (Surah Ta Ha: 83-84)

The people did not have the Prophet Musa (as) to direct
them. Samaritan seized the opportunity; the people were
weak in their faith and open to suggestion, and he led them
astray. They fell into strife and contention.
He [Allah] said, “We tried your people after you left and
the Samaritan has misguided them.” (Surah Ta Ha: 85)
While Musa (as) was receiving the revelation, he realized
that his people had ceased following him. Returning to them,
he reminded them of the world to come and Allah’s promis-
es to those with faith. Then he told them about the great trou-
ble that would befall those who lost their faith in Allah’s
promises and the strife that would overtake them:
Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow.
He said, “My people, did not your Lord make you a
handsome promise? Did the fulfillment of the contract
seem too long to you or did you want to unleash your
Lord’s anger upon yourselves, so you broke your promise
to me?” (Surah Ta Ha: 86)
At this, those who had departed from the truth by heed-
ing Samaritan’s twisted incitements described what had hap-
pened after the departure of the Prophet Musa (as):

They said, “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 the Samaritan did.” (Surah Ta Ha: 87)
