175. From this verse one learns that the cow worship of the Hindus has its origin in the calf worship of the Israelites. Hence, for the Muslims to hold the cow in high esteem or to revere any holy days of the non-believers is totally unlawful as this will amount to showing resemblance with the non-believers in respect of the above.
176. In this verse the Israelites are condemned for their infidelity towards Hazrat Musa علیه السلامfor after having seen the miracle of 'The shining hand' they had still resorted to calf worship.
