Arabic:-
وَجَـٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَصْنَامٍۢ لَّهُمْ ۚ قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمُوسَى ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَـٰهًۭا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌۭ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌۭ تَجْهَلُونَ ١٣٨
Translation:
We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols. They demanded, “O Moses! Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly!
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Allah saved Bani Israel by making them cross the sea and escape from Pharaoh's tyranny.
-
Soon after their rescue, they saw idol-worshippers and were impressed by their practices.
-
They requested Prophet Musa (AS) to make a god for them like the others had.
-
This request showed their weak faith and ignorance despite witnessing Allah’s power.
-
Prophet Musa (AS) strongly rebuked them, calling their demand a sign of foolishness.
