Reference: Surah Al-Ma’idha 5: 31
Arabic:-
فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابًۭا يَبْحَثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِىَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِى ۖ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰدِمِينَ ٣١
Translation:
Then Allah sent a crow digging ˹a grave˺ in the ground ˹for a dead crow˺, in order to show him how to bury the corpse of his brother. He cried, “Alas! Have I ˹even˺ failed to be like this crow and bury the corpse of my brother?” So he became regretful.1
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
After killing his brother, Qabil (Cain) was distressed and unsure how to bury him.
-
Allah sent a crow scratching the ground to teach him how to hide the body.
-
Seeing this, Qabil regretted his ignorance and his sinful act.
-
The verse highlights human weakness and the learning of basic acts through observation.
-
It also serves as a reminder of the gravity of murder and the path to repentance.
