🔵 On the anniversary of the passing of Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi (Dey 12, 1399 SH / January 1, 2021): 💎 The Study of Judaism in the Works of Allameh Mesbah Yazdi 1⃣ From the God-Kings of Egypt to the Custodian of the World 👉https://jscenter.ir/judaism-and-islam/jews…
The Sabbath-Breakers and Playing with God's Religion
The Factors of Human Rise and Fall in the Mirror of Quranic Stories from the Israelites – Part 8: The Sabbath-Breakers
An article based on the ethical discourse of Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi (ra) on the study of Judaism and the Israelites in the Quran.
🔷 Key Points:
· This section examines the severe punishment of a group of Israelites who lived by the sea. God forbade them from fishing on the Sabbath (Saturday) as a test. Observing that fish abundantly approached the shore only on that day, they devised a clever legal trick (Hilah):
· They dug trenches on Friday, let water (and fish) flow in on Saturday, and blocked the exits, then harvested the fish on Sunday, claiming they didn't "fish" on the Sabbath.
· God's response was swift and shocking: He transformed the transgressors and those who remained silent into despised apes (مسخ). This story appears multiple times in the Quran as a grave warning.
· Key Lessons Derived:
1. Playing with Divine Commands is Forbidden: The core sin was not just a technical violation, but attempting to deceive God and mock His law through legal loopholes (Hiyal). This is far more severe than open disobedience. The analysis asks: Are some of our modern-day "Sharia-compliant" tricks in financial dealings (like disguised usury/Riba) not of the same nature?
2. The Obligation of Enjoining Good & Forbidding Evil (Amr bil Ma'ruf): God punished not only the tricksters but also those who saw the wrong and remained silent, failing to enjoin good and forbid evil. This highlights the communal responsibility and the major sin of indifference.
3. God Has No Favorites: Despite the Israelites being favored with many prophets, God showed no partiality when they willfully mocked His decrees. Even the greatest of creatures have no special immunity if they compromise divine law.

اصحاب سبت و بازی با دین خدا - اندیشکده مطالعات یهود | Jewish Studies Center
یکی از داستانهایی که قرآن کریم مکرر از آن یاد کرده است، داستان «اصحاب سبت» است. این داستان هشداری برای ما است که با دین خدا بازی نکنیم.
