Tafsir of the Holy Qur'an (Ch 2 Surah Al-Baqarah, section 10) Verses No. 83 to 86

Abstract

In these three verses the whole programme was given to the Banu Isra'il in clear words. It was to worship God alone, to treat goodly the parents, to help the kith and kin, the orphans and the needy and to be goodly in speech and establish regular prayer and pay Zakat. No bloodshed no exit from homes was to be made. Thus no department of social or economic or political life was left unattended. The program is good even today as it was when commanded. Programs are indicators of loyalty and faithful discharge of the duties. It is the violation that corrupts the system and causes erosion into it. Who could be more kind and merciful to mankind than the Creator who gave the Program. Whispers of the open enemy i.e. Satan brought in the violation and adverse consequence for the people.
