Read in Context

Chapter 20, Page 317, Juz 16

83. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Why have you come with such haste ahead of your people, O Moses?” 84. He replied, “They are close on my tracks. And I have hastened to You, my Lord, so You will be pleased.” 85. Allah responded, “We have indeed tested your people in your absence, and the Sâmiri has led them astray.” 86. So Moses returned to his people, furious and sorrowful. He said, “O my people! Had your Lord not made you a good promise? Has my absence been too long for you? Or have you wished for wrath from your Lord to befall you, so you broke your promise to me?” 87. They argued, “We did not break our promise to you of our own free will, but we were made to carry the burden of the people’s ˹golden˺ jewellery, then we threw it ˹into the fire˺, and so did the Sâmiri.” 88. Then he moulded for them an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. They said, “This is your god and the god of Moses, but Moses forgot ˹where it was˺!” 89. Did they not see that it did not respond to them, nor could it protect or benefit them?
