So before boarding this train it is better to assess where is this going to take us, towards salvation or towards destruction. Rather than taking lessons from these stories narrated by the Holy Quran which are for our guidance, we have used these for mere meaningless recitations culture. Read these Ayahs and ponder: يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ "O children of Israel!

Remember My favor which I bestowed on you…" (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:40) يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ".. who was taking you towards divine punishment" (Surah al-Baqarah, 2: 49) These Ayahs are not for earning rewards; instead they are for opening our eyes. These Ayahs are asking us first and foremost to see how Bani Israel despite of being from the generation of Prophets was living in a system which was taking them towards Hell.
