[Maidah 5:24] They said, �O Moosa! We will never enter it whilst they are there, so you and your Lord go and fight - we shall remain seated here.� [Maidah 5:25] Said Moosa, �My Lord! I have no control except over myself and my brother, so keep us separated from the disobedient nation.� (Do not count us among them). [Maidah 5:26] Said Allah, �The (holy) land is therefore forbidden for them for forty years; they will wander in the earth; so do not grieve for these disobedient people.� Section 5 [Maidah 5:27] And recite to them the true tale of the two sons of Adam; when both of them offered a sacrifice each - hence the sacrifice of one was accepted and not accepted from the other; he (the other) said, �I swear I will kill you�; he answered, �Allah accepts only from the pious.� [Maidah 5:28] �Indeed, if you do extend your hand against me to kill me, I will not extend my hand against you to kill you; I fear Allah, the Lord Of The Creation.� [Maidah 5:29] �I only desire that you alone should bear my sin and your own sin - hence you become of the people of hell; and that is the proper punishment of the unjust.� [Maidah 5:30] So his soul incited him to kill his brother - he therefore killed him, and was therefore ruined. [Maidah 5:31] So Allah sent a crow scratching the ground,
to show him how to hide his brother�s corpse; he said, �Woe to me! I was
not even capable enough to be like this crow, so I would hide my brother�s
corpse�; and he turned remorseful. |
