The Holy Quran 20:86 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى

Translation

So (upon hearing this news,) Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام returned to his people in anger and remorse. He said, "O my people! Has your Rabb not made you a fair promise (that He will send you a Book containing the injunctions of your Deen) ? Has too much time elapsed for you (causing you to think that you will never receive the Book and that you may as well worship something else) or did you wish that the anger of your Rabb should descend on you, because of which you broke the promise (you) made with me (the promise not to do anything against the Shari'ah while I am away and to obey Haaroon عليه الصلاة والسلام)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فرجع موسى إلى قومه غضبان عليهم حزينًا، وقال لهم: يا قوم ألم يَعِدْكم ربكم وعدًا حسنًا بإنزال التوراة؟ أفطال عليكم العهد واستبطأتم الوعد، أم أردتم أن تفعلوا فعلا يحل عليكم بسببه غضب من ربكم، فأخلفتم موعدي وعبدتم العجل، وتركتم الالتزام بأوامري؟
