Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 55

2:55 Al-Baqarah

وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوسَىٰ لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ

And (remember) when you said: "O Musa (Moses)! We shall never believe in you till we see Allah plainly." But you were seized with a thunderbolt (lightning) while you were looking.

Tafseer Surah Baqarah Verse 55

☘️And (remember) when you said, “O Mūsā, we shall never believe in you”: Referring to those who were stubborn against Mūsā, and became conceited against the commands of Allāh, even with what they witnessed from miracles and proofs of prophethood. 

☘️We shall never believe in you: We will never trust you and acknowledge what you have brought is a revelation.

☘️Until we see Allāh outright: Meaning, with our eyes without anything hiding him from us.

☘️So you were seized with a ṣāˋiqah: Which is fire that came from the sky and burnt them all as punishment against them for their arrogance and lack of regard for the miracles.

☘️While you were looking at it when it came down. The ṣāˋiqah took them because they prevented themselves from believing in Mūsā (peace be upon him) - after the appearance of his miracle - unless he showed them their Lord in plain sight. 

🔮 “And for those who disbelieved in their lord is a punishment of hell, and wretched is the destination”.
