Read in Context

Chapter 20, Page 317, Juz 16

83. (When Moses was up on the Mount, Allah said:) "What made thee hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?" 84. He replied: "Behold, they are close on my footsteps: I hastened to thee, O my Lord, to please thee." 85. (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray." 86. So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?" 87. They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested. 88. "Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!" 89. Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?

- A. Yusuf Ali
