وَأَغۡرَقۡنَآ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ ٥٠
We drowned them while you were watching in order to heal your hearts and humiliate your enemy. Ibn Kathir: 1/87.
Question: Pharaoh threatened the believers with crucifixion to get revenge on them, but Allah dealt with him in kind. Explain.
وَإِذۡ وَٰعَدۡنَا مُوسَىٰٓ أَرۡبَعِينَ لَيۡلَةٗ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذۡتُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ ٥١
Night is mentioned because the best communing with Allah is during nighttime. Al-Biqai: 1/133.
Question: (nights) are mentioned rather than "days" for communing with Allah. Why?
وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ فَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمۡ
The grave sin that they had committed by which they wronged themselves is what Allah mentioned about their apostacy by worshiping a calf after Moses (u) left them. Al-Tabari:2/72.
Question: The absence of scholars and righteous people in society may lead to its deviance. Explain.
وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ
You have made yourselves subservient to a useless (inanimate object) to which your own selves are superior. This is the worst wrongdoing, for it is not fitting for one to be subservient and worship someone like him, then how about worshiping what is less than that, an animal! Not only that, but a gold metal object that resembles an animal. Al-Biqai: 1/134.
Question: Ignorance about the Lordship of Allah is the worst kind of ignorance. Explain.
وَظَلَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰۖ

The manna and quails would come down to them in sufficient quantities to nourish them, (Eat from the good things with which We have provided you), that is, provision the like of which even those who dwell in cities and live a life of luxury do not have. But they were not grateful for this blessing, and continued to be hardhearted and committed many sins. Al-Saadi: 49.
Question: What is the reason for the successive and hard punishments on Children of Israel?
وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٥٧
