Recall My Favour which I Bestowed upon you and I had Graced...
Recall My Favour which I Bestowed upon you and I had Graced you all in the two worlds (Religion and world) [2:47] And at other places Allah -azwj Says: وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ {1645:} And We had Given to the Children of Israel, the Book, and the Wisdom, and the Prophet-hood, and Sustained them from the goodly things, and Merited them over the worlds [45:16] يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ {1222:} O Children of Israel!
Recall My Favour which I Bestowed upon you and I had Graced you in the worlds [2:122] Indeed, in the above Verse, Allah -azwj Prefers the Nation of Prophet Musa -as but this Message was neither forever nor had included every single person of the nation, as for sure, there were hypocrites among the devout believers.
وَإِذْ نَجَّيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكُمْ بَلَاءٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ {492:} And when We Rescued you from Pharaoh’s people, who were afflicting you with evil punishments. They were slaughtering your sons and were letting your women live; and during that you were in an enormous Trial from your Lord.
[2:49] Here, again the message is general that Allah -azwj Saved them, the whole nation of Bani Israel, without distinguishing between the hypocrites (munafiqeen) and believers (Momineen). So both good one and hypocrites were tried by Allah -azwj .
وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ فَأَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ وَأَغْرَقْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ {502:} And when We Parted the sea for you, so We Rescued you and We Drowned the People of Pharaoh and you were looking on.[2:50] Here again the Blessings of Allah -azwj were for the whole nation of Prophet Musa -as , since hypocrites were hidden among the believers.
