The Hebrews, who were the descendants of Jacob, came to
Egypt during the time of Joseph. Joseph had become a powerful ruler in
Egypt and helped the country survive a severe famine. Because of
Joseph's influence, his family was welcomed and settled in the fertile
land of Goshen. Over time, the Hebrews multiplied greatly and became a
large and prosperous people.
After the death of Joseph and his
generation, a new Pharaoh arose in Egypt who did not know Joseph or
remember the good he had done for the nation. When Pharaoh noticed the
rapid increase in the population of the Hebrews, he became afraid. He
feared that they might become more numerous and powerful than the
Egyptians. He also thought that if war should occur, the Hebrews might
join Egypt's enemies and fight against the nation.
To prevent
this, Pharaoh decided to oppress the Hebrews. He appointed taskmasters
over them and subjected them to hard labour. The Hebrews were forced to
build the store cities of Pithom and Rameses for Pharaoh. They worked
under very harsh conditions, making bricks and carrying out other
difficult construction tasks. Their lives became bitter because of the
heavy burdens placed upon them. However, the more they were oppressed,
the more they multiplied and spread throughout the land.
Pharaoh's
fear increased when he realized that forced labour had failed to reduce
their population. He therefore ordered the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah
and Puah, to kill every male Hebrew child at birth while allowing the
female children to live. The midwives, however, feared God and refused
to obey the king's command. They preserved the lives of the Hebrew boys
and explained to Pharaoh that the Hebrew women gave birth before they
arrived.
When this plan failed, Pharaoh issued a more severe
decree. He commanded all the Egyptians to throw every newly born Hebrew
boy into the River Nile while allowing the girls to live. This cruel
order brought fear, sorrow, and suffering upon the Hebrew people.
Parents lived in constant anxiety as they tried to protect their sons
from being killed.
It was during this period of slavery,
oppression, and persecution that Moses was born. The Hebrews cried unto
God because of their suffering, and God heard their prayers. He prepared
Moses to become the leader who would eventually deliver the Israelites
from bondage in Egypt.

Gehazi was the servant of Elisha the prophet. One day, Naaman,
the commander of the Syrian army, came to Elisha seeking healing from
leprosy. Elisha instructed him to wash seven times in the Jordan River,
and he was completely healed. Out of gratitude, Naaman offered Elisha
gifts of silver, gold and expensive clothes, but Elisha refused to
accept any reward because he wanted Naaman to know that God's blessings
could not be bought.
After Naaman had departed, Gehazi became
greedy and desired the gifts that Elisha had rejected. Without Elisha's
knowledge, he ran after Naaman and lied to him, saying that Elisha had
sent him to request a talent of silver and two changes of clothes for
two young prophets who had just arrived. Believing Gehazi's story,
Naaman gladly gave him two talents of silver and two changes of
garments.
Gehazi collected the gifts and hid them in his house
before returning to Elisha. When Elisha asked him where he had been,
Gehazi lied and claimed that he had gone nowhere. However, Elisha,
through the Spirit of God, knew everything that had happened. He rebuked
Gehazi for his greed, dishonesty and misuse of his prophetic position
for personal gain.
As punishment, Elisha declared that the
leprosy of Naaman would cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever.
Immediately, Gehazi became leprous, his skin turning white as snow.
Because of his greed, deception and disobedience, Gehazi lost his
position and was dismissed from the service of Elisha.

After the Jews returned from exile in Babylon, they began the
rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel
and Jeshua. However, they faced many challenges. Their enemies,
especially the Samaritans, opposed the work and tried to discourage
them. When the Jews refused to allow them to join in building the
temple, the enemies became hostile and attempted to frustrate the
project.
The opponents sent false reports and accusations against
the Jews to the Persian kings, claiming that the Jews were planning to
rebel. As a result, an order was given for the work on the temple to
stop, and the rebuilding was suspended for some years. The people became
discouraged and turned their attention to building their own houses
instead of God's temple.
To overcome these challenges, God raised
prophets such as Haggai and Zechariah who encouraged the people to
continue the work. The prophets reminded them that rebuilding the temple
was God's will and that He would be with them. Their messages
strengthened the people's faith and determination.
Zerubbabel and
Jeshua also provided strong leadership and motivated the people to
resume the work. When their enemies again questioned their authority,
the Jews appealed to King Darius of Persia. A search was made in the
royal records, and the decree earlier issued by King Cyrus permitting
the rebuilding of the temple was found.
King Darius then
confirmed the decree and ordered that the work should continue without
interference. He even instructed that expenses for the project should be
provided from the royal treasury. With God's help, encouragement from
the prophets, and support from the Persian king, the Jews successfully
completed the rebuilding of the temple and dedicated it with great joy
and thanksgiving to God.

John the Baptist was preaching in the wilderness of Judea and
baptizing people in the River Jordan. He called on the people to repent
of their sins because the kingdom of God was near. Many people came to
him and were baptized after confessing their sins.
One day, Jesus
came from Galilee to the River Jordan to be baptized by John. When John
saw Him, he recognized that Jesus was greater than he was. Therefore,
John tried to stop Him, saying that he needed to be baptized by Jesus
rather than baptizing Him. However, Jesus replied that it was necessary
for them to do so in order to fulfil all righteousness and carry out
God's will.
John then agreed and baptized Jesus in the River
Jordan. As Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened, and
the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. At the same
time, a voice came from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.”
This event revealed Jesus as the Son of God
and marked the beginning of His public ministry. It also showed the
presence of the Trinity, which is God the Father speaking from heaven,
God the Son being baptized, and God the Holy Spirit descending like a
dove. The encounter between John the Baptist and Jesus at the River
Jordan was therefore a significant event in the history of Christianity.

Jesus' condemnation to death was the result of a series of
events that took place before His crucifixion. After Jesus had preached,
performed miracles and gained many followers, the Jewish religious
leaders became jealous and feared that His influence was becoming too
great. They began to look for ways to arrest and kill Him.
One of
Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot, agreed to betray Him to the chief
priests for thirty pieces of silver. After the Last Supper, Jesus went
to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. There, Judas led a crowd of
soldiers and officials to arrest Him. Judas identified Jesus by kissing
Him.
Jesus was first taken before the Jewish council called
Sanhedrin, where false witnesses accused Him. During the trial, the high
priest asked Jesus whether He was the Messiah, the Son of God. When
Jesus affirmed this, the leaders accused Him of blasphemy and declared
that He deserved death.
Since the Jewish leaders did not have the
authority to carry out the death sentence, they took Jesus to Pontius
Pilate, the Roman governor. They changed their accusation and claimed
that Jesus was misleading the people and calling Himself a king, which
they presented as a threat to Roman authority.
Pilate examined
Jesus and found no fault in Him. He sent Him to Herod Antipas, but Herod
also found no reason to condemn Him and returned Him to Pilate. Despite
this, the chief priests and the crowd continued to demand Jesus' death.
Pilate offered to release either Jesus or Barabbas, a known criminal,
according to the custom of the Passover feast. The crowd, influenced by
the religious leaders, chose Barabbas and demanded that Jesus be
crucified.
Although Pilate believed Jesus was innocent, he feared
a riot and gave in to the demands of the crowd. He washed his hands
before them to show that he was not responsible for Jesus' death and
then handed Jesus over to be crucified. Thus, betrayal by Judas, false
accusations, religious hostility and pressure from the crowd ultimately
led to the condemnation of Jesus to death.

The statement, “and great fear came upon the whole church, and
upon all who heard of these things,” refers to the incident involving
Ananias and Sapphira in the early Church.
In the early Christian
community, believers shared their possessions and helped one another.
Many members sold their lands and properties and brought the money to
the apostles for distribution to those in need. One such believer was
Barnabas, who sold his land and gave all the proceeds to the apostles.
Ananias
and his wife, Sapphira, also sold a piece of land. However, they
secretly agreed to keep back part of the money for themselves while
pretending to give the entire amount to the apostles. Ananias brought
only a portion of the money and laid it before the apostles, claiming
that it was the full amount received from the sale.
Through the
revelation of the Holy Spirit, Peter knew what Ananias had done. Peter
rebuked him for lying, not to men, but to God and to the Holy Spirit. As
soon as Ananias heard Peter's words, he fell down and died. The young
men wrapped up his body, carried it out and buried him.
About
three hours later, Sapphira came in, not knowing what had happened to
her husband. Peter asked her whether the amount presented was the full
price of the land. She confirmed the lie by saying that it was. Peter
then rebuked her for agreeing with her husband to test the Spirit of the
Lord. Immediately, she also fell down and died. The young men carried
her out and buried her beside her husband.
When the members of
the church and others heard about these events, they were filled with
great fear and reverence for God. They realized that God is holy and
that dishonesty and hypocrisy would not be tolerated in the Christian
community. Therefore, great fear came upon the whole church and upon all
who heard of these things.

James taught Christians not to show favouritism in the assembly
of God. He said that believers in Christ should treat all people
equally, whether they are rich or poor.
To explain this, James
gave an example of a rich man wearing fine clothes and gold rings who
entered the place of worship. He also spoke of a poor man wearing dirty
clothes who entered the same gathering. The members of the assembly
welcomed the rich man warmly and offered him a good seat, while the poor
man was told to stand or sit on the floor.
James condemned this
action and said that they had become judges with evil thoughts because
they were judging people by their outward appearance. He reminded them
that God does not look at people the way humans do and that many poor
people are rich in faith and will inherit God's kingdom.
He
further told them that they were dishonouring the poor by their actions.
James instructed them to obey the royal law which says, “Love your
neighbour as yourself.” According to him, showing partiality is a sin
because it goes against God's commandment of love.
James
concluded by advising Christians to treat everyone fairly, show mercy to
all people, and avoid discrimination in the church. He stressed that
God expects believers to love and respect others regardless of their
wealth, position or appearance.

treatment to rich and influential members of the church while neglecting
the poor.

(iii) Some church leaders show favouritism in assigning positions and responsibilities.
(iv) Christians sometimes associate more with wealthy people and avoid those who are less privileged.

(vi) Christians may discriminate against others on the basis of tribe, ethnicity or family background.
(vii) Some believers look down on the poor and treat them with disrespect.
(viii)
Christians sometimes show partiality in settling disputes by supporting
friends and influential persons instead of standing for justice.
(ix) Some churches neglect the needs of the poor, widows and other vulnerable members of society.
(x) Christians may value people for their material possessions rather than for their faith and godly character.
(9a)
Peter's view on good citizenship is found in his teaching to
Christians in 1 Peter 2:13–17. He advised believers to be law-abiding
citizens and to submit themselves to constituted authorities for the
sake of the Lord.
Peter taught that Christians should respect and
obey rulers, governors and other authorities because they are appointed
to maintain law and order in society. According to him, government
authorities are meant to punish those who do evil and commend those who
do good.
He further encouraged Christians to live good and
exemplary lives so that their conduct would silence false accusations
made against them. Peter emphasized that believers should use their
freedom responsibly and not as an excuse for wrongdoing.
He also
instructed Christians to show respect to all people, love fellow
believers, fear God and honour the king. Peter believed that good
citizenship involves obedience to lawful authority, respect for others,
good behaviour and faithfulness to God.
Therefore, according to
Peter, a good citizen is one who obeys the laws of the land, respects
authority, does good works, promotes peace in society and lives in a
manner that brings glory to God.

(i)Obligation of Action: It is a religious duty for every Muslim to oppose injustice and wrongdoing according to their capacity.
(ii)Levels
of Authority: Changing evil "with the hand" generally refers to those
in positions of authority (like parents or rulers), while "with the
tongue" refers to speaking out or giving advice.
(iii)The Power of
Intention: Even if one is physically or socially unable to stop an evil,
they must still hate it in their heart. This ensures the believer's
conscience remains pure.
(iv)Degrees of Faith: The Prophet (S.A.W.)
indicates that faith is not static; taking active steps to improve
society is a sign of stronger faith compared to silent disapproval.
(v)Wisdom
and Gradation: The Hadith teaches a systematic approach to social
reform, prioritizing direct action where possible but allowing for
verbal and internal resistance to prevent greater harm.
