Aaron had told them before, "My people, you are deceived by the calf. Your Lord is the Beneficent God. Follow me and obey my orders". 90 They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us." 91 Said Moosa, “O Haroon – what prevented you when you saw them going astray?” 92 from following me? Why did you disobey my command?" 93 He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' " 94 Said Moosa, “And what is your explanation, O Samri?” 95 He replied, "I had the skill (of carving) which they did not have. I followed some of the Messengers's (Moses) tradition, but I then ignored it. Thus, my soul prompted me (to carve a golden calf with an artificial hollow sound). 96 (Moses) said: "Go hence! All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape. Look at your god to whom you are so attached: We shall verily burn it, and disperse its ashes into the sea. 97 Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, the One (La ilaha illa Huwa) (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things. 98 Thus do We narrate some account to you of what has gone before, and We have truly given you a Reminder of Our own. 99 Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection, 100 Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection; 101 the Day when the trumpet shall be blown: We shall gather all the sinners on that Day. Their eyes will turn blue with terror 102 They shall consult together secretly: You did tarry but ten (centuries). 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
