Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 59

2:59 Al-Baqara

فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا رِجْزًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ

But those who did wrong changed the word from that which had been told to them for another, so We sent upon the wrong-doers Rijzan (a punishment) from the heaven because of their rebelling against Allah's Obedience. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. I, Page 305).

Tafseer Surah Baqarah Verse 59

☘️When a person’s sins increase, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala snatches their blessings and descends his punishment. Because the Children of Israel changed the word and command of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala replaced the promised blessing with punishment. We should, therefore, be very careful about our words and attitude. We should never mock or challenge the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. May He guide us and reform what is bad in us, ameen.

☘️While the Day of Judgment is the real day of recompense, in this world too Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala keeps showing us our mistakes. These are wake-up calls for those who need and should repent. Upon realizing one’s mistake, one should not procrastinate repentance; rather he should repent and turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.

☘️Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Sa’d bin Malik, Usamah bin Zayd and Khuzaymah bin Thabit said that the Messenger of Allah salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said,

الطَّاعُونُ رِجْزٌ.عَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُم

“The plague is a Rijz, a punishment with which Allah punished those before you.”

☘️In addition, the basis of this hadeeth was collected in the Two Saheehs,

إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الطَّاعُونَ بأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَ

“If you hear of the plague in a land, then do not enter it.”
