فَلاَ‏ تَأْسَ‏ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ‏ الْفَسِقِينَ‏<br />

So do not grieve for the rebellious people.''<br />

Musa Reminds His People <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah's Favors on <strong>The</strong>m; <strong>The</strong><br />

Jews Refuse <strong>to</strong> Enter the Holy Land<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah states that His servant, Messenger, <strong>to</strong> whom He spoke<br />

directly, Musa, the son <strong>of</strong> Imran, reminded his people that<br />

among the favors <strong>Al</strong>lah granted them, is that He will give them<br />

all <strong>of</strong> the good <strong>of</strong> this life and the Hereafter, if they remain on<br />

the righteous and straight path.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah said,<br />

وَإِذْ‏ قَالَ‏ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ‏ یَا قَوْمِ‏ اذْآُرُواْ‏ نِعْمَةَ‏ اللّهِ‏ عَلَيْكُمْ‏ إِذْ‏ جَعَلَ‏ فِيكُمْ‏ أَنبِيَاء<br />

for whenever a Prophet died, another rose among<br />

them, from the time <strong>of</strong> their father Ibrahim and<br />

thereafter.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were many Prophets among the Children <strong>of</strong> Israel<br />

calling <strong>to</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah and warning against His <strong>to</strong>rment, until<br />

`Isa <strong>was</strong> sent as the final Prophet from the Children <strong>of</strong><br />

Israel. <strong>Al</strong>lah then sent down the revelation <strong>to</strong> the Final<br />

Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad, the son <strong>of</strong><br />

Abdullah, from the <strong>of</strong>fspring <strong>of</strong> Ismail, the son <strong>of</strong><br />

Ibrahim, peace be upon them. Muhammad is the most<br />

honorable Prophet <strong>of</strong> all times.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah said next,<br />

... وَجَعَلَكُم م ُّلُوآًا ...<br />

made you kings,<br />
