Surah Al-A'raf Ayat 171

Kemudian Allah mengakhiri kisah tentang orang Yahudi dengan memperingatkan kembali peristiwa ketika mereka pertama kali menerima Taurat. Sewaktu Bukit Sinai diangkat ke atas kepala mereka sehingga gunung itu bagaikan gumpalan awan yang gelap, mereka melihat gunung yang terapung di udara itu akan jatuh menimpa mereka. Sadarlah mereka terhadap ancaman Allah bahwa jika mereka menentang perintah agama, tentulah mereka akan binasa. Saat itu Allah berseru kepada mereka agar mereka menerima dan menaati hukum-hukum agama yang tercantum dalam Taurat dengan sungguh-sungguh. Dan mereka hendaklah mengingat perintah dan larangan-Nya dalam Taurat, mengamalkannya dan tidak mengabaikannya, walaupun mereka mengalami kesulitan dan penderitaan. Ketaatan mereka kepada hukum-hukum agama serta perintah dan larangannya dengan sebenarnya, membawa mereka kepada pembinaan pribadi dan takwa.

And mention when We wrenched the mountain above them We lifted it up unearthing it from its root as if it were a canopy and they thought they were certain that it was about to fall upon them because of God’s threat to them that it would fall upon them if they refused to accept the rulings contained in the Torah they had initially refused to accept them because of their being burdensome but then accepted them and We said to them ‘Take firmly seriously and earnestly what We have given you and remember what is in it by acting in accordance with it that you might be God-fearing’.
