Allah the Exalted mentions the favors He granted the Children of Israel, such
as revealing the Divine Books to them, sending the Messengers to them and
granting them kingship. Allah said,
[وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا
بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ الْكِتَـبَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنَـهُمْ مِّنَ
الطَّيِّبَـتِ]
(And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the
understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the prophethood; and provided
them with good things,) such as foods and drinks,
[وَفَضَّلْنَـهُمْ
عَلَى الْعَـلَمينَ]
(and preferred them above the nations.) of their time,
[وَءاتَيْنَـهُم
بَيِّنَـتٍ مِّنَ الاٌّمْرِ]
(And gave them clear proofs in matters.) `We gave them evidences, proofs and
unequivocal signs.' Therefore, the proof has been established against them, yet
they differed among themselves after the proof came to them, out of
transgression against each other,
[إِنَّ
رَبَّكَ]
(Verily, your Lord) `O Muhammad',
[يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُمْ
يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ]
(will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they
used to differ. ) He will judge between them by His just judgement.
