If we take these statements on face value, they would be contrary to the facts, for Allah did not divide any sea for the Jews at the time of our Prophet s as , nor did He drown the house- hold of Pharaoh before the eyes of evildoers, nor were these Jews present at the time of these perils. They did not take to worship- ping the calf, nor were they even alive at that time. They did not say, ‘O Moses, we will by no means believe you until we see Allah 1. And remember the time when We divided the sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh’s people, while you looked on. And remember the time when We made Moses a promise of forty nights; then you took the calf for worship in his absence and you were transgressors. Then We for- gave you thereafter, that you might be grateful. And remember the time when We gave Moses the Book and the Discrimination, that you might be rightly guided ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:51–54). [Publisher] 2. And remember when you said: ‘O Moses, we will by no means believe you until we see Allah face to face;’ then the thunderbolt overtook you, while you gazed. Then We raised you up after your death, that you might be grateful. And We caused the clouds to be a shade over you and sent down on you Manna and Salwa, saying: ‘Eat of the good things We have provided for you. ’ And they wronged Us not, but it was themselves that they wronged ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:56–58).
