6- The story of the cow and excessive concern over details This story reveals a specific mentality plaguing some of the Children of Israel: mans tendency to concern himself excessively over details… Despite the easy, uncomplicated and pure nature of the religion, some people seek to make the religion difficult, by introducing needless details into it, and by shifting the focus from its true essence to trivial issues. However, Allah explains that the true religion is as easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). The story of the cow brings to light the error of inquiring needlessly into details. It also shows that the pursuit of trivial details only causes difficulty for people, and may ultimately lead them away from the commandments of Allah. 7- The story of a wise man and wisdom from Allahs Sight. This story conveys to us that there may well be wisdom underlying certain events that is not immediately apparent. This knowledge is a special sort of wisdom granted by Allahs Sight. This is explained with examples that even seemingly disastrous events may not actually be adverse, and that, on the contrary, there may be some reason behind them we are incapable of recognizing. To conclude, the most important lesson for believers were the good morals exemplified by the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the Prophet Aaron (pbuh). Both of them were prophets of Islam, to whom scriptures were granted. Although Prophet Moses (pbuh) strove in the way of Allah thousands of years ago, his conduct and manner of speech remain exemplary for us. Allah chose him for Himself, spoke to him and appointed him as a messenger to convey His message to the people. These noble men are remembered in the Quran as follows: And left the later people saying of them, Peace be upon Moses and Aaron! That is how We recompense good-doers. They truly were among Our servants who are believers. (Surat as-Saffat: 119-122) Allah was pleased with them, as He is with all His messengers. May our Lord bless us with the wisdom to better understand the lives of these messengers, and to be one of those with whom He is pleased.
