Shafaqna English- Commentary on the 2nd Chapter of the Holy Quran by Mohammad Sobhanie. 2:60 The Miracle of Water Gushing Forth in the Desert! Commentary: The Children of Israel blatantly infringed upon Allah (SWT)’s command and refused to enter the Holy Land (الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ)[1]. The first two bounties were mentioned in verse 2:57, and verse (2:60) speaks about gushing springs of pure water amidst the Sinai Peninsula’s wilderness. The verses, in the end, advise the Children of Israel:كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا مِن رِّزْقِ اللَّـهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾“Eat and drink of Allah’s provision, and do not act corruptly (وَلَا تَعْثَوْا) on the earth, causing mischief [(مُفْسِدِينَ)].”
