Al Baqarah

HR Background

سَلْ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ كَمْ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ اٰیَةٍۭ بَیِّنَةٍؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ(211)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Ask the Children of Israel how many clear signs We gave to them.[1] And whosoever changes the blessing of Allah after it has come to him, then indeed the punishment of Allah is severe.[2]

Commentary

[1]

Remember, questioning the Israelites about clear signs is for their counsel and to make them acknowledge the Grace of Allah Almighty despite their transgressions.

[2]

The “blessing of Allah” refers to the verses of Allah Almighty which are a means of guidance and salvation from misguidance. Among these verses are those which praise and describe the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and mention his Prophethood. The textual distortion of the Jews and Christians is the changing of Allah’s blessing.
