Quran 7 Verse 154 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Al-A’raf ayat 154, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(7:154) And when the anger of Moses was stilled, he took up the Tablets again, the text of which comprised guidance and mercy to those who fear their Lord.


There is no commentary by Abul Maududi available for this verse.

Ibn-Kathir

154. And when the anger of Musa calmed, he took up the Tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.


Musa picked up the Tablets when His Anger subsided

Allah said next,

﴿وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ﴾

(And when calmed) and subsided,

﴿عَن مُّوسَى الْغَضَبُ﴾

(the anger of Musa) with his people,

﴿أَخَذَ الاٌّلْوَاحَ﴾

(he took up the Tablets), which he had thrown out of jealousy for Allah and anger for His sake, because of his people worshipping the calf,

﴿وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ﴾

(and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.) Several scholars of Tafsir said that when Musa threw the Tablets on the ground they were shattered and he collected the pieces afterwards. Musa found in its inscription guidance and mercy, but the specific details of the Law was lost, so they said. They also claimed that the shattered pieces of the Tablets still remained in the treasury safes of some Israelite kings until the Islamic State came into existence. Only Allah knows if these statements are true.
