In this enlightening lecture by Mufti Menk, we examine the teachings that the Banu Israel, the progeny of Yaqoob (AS), as they are mentioned in Islamic literature and the Qur'an, can teach us. The Banu Israel received many gifts from Allah, but sadly, many of them showed ungracious behavior toward these favors. Allah then describes what happened to them in order to keep us from developing the same habits of ungratefulness.
One significant incident highlighted is when Musa (AS) instructed them to slaughter a cow, revealing the importance of following the commandments of Allah. Drawing a parallel to the present day, we contemplate how we would respond if Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) were to stand before us and instruct us to abstain from engaging in interest-based transactions. Would we adhere to his command or argue, as some of the Banu Israel did with Musa (AS)?
Through the narrative of the Banu Israel, we are reminded not to debate or argue with messages of truth and righteousness. By doing so, our hearts may become hardened, just as those who opposed the truths presented to them did.
Without engaging in pointless debates, it is imperative that we own our shortcomings and work to improve.
