Bakara 49:
- Ve oğullarınızı öldürüp kadınlarınızı sağ bırakan, size azapların en kötüsünü yaşatan firavun hanedanının elinden kurdardığımız günleri hatırlayın. Bunda sizin için Rabbinizden büyük bir bela(imtahan ve tecrübe)(بَلاء) vardır.

İsrail Oğulları’nın maruz bırakıldığı bu iş-kenceli hayat için Kur’ân-ı Kerim belâ tabirini kullanmaktadır. Belâ, “deneme, imtihan, tecrübe” demektir. Bu deneme, hayırla da olur, şerle de. Başlangıcı itibariyle genellikle şer ve mihnet manâsını tazammun eder. Böyle bir mihnet ve şer acı ve zor da olsa, bilhassa mü’minler için neticesi itibariyle büyük hayırlar doğurur. Bu, fert seviyesinde de, toplum seviyesinde de aynıdır. Bu şer ve mihnetin içinde insanlar buna sebep olan yanlış düşünce, inanış ve davranışlardan kurtulur, gerçeğe ulaşır, pişer, olgunlaşır, acılara dayanıklı hale gelir ve genellikle dünyada da artık en sonunda bir kurtuluşa erer veya erdirilir. Neticesi itibariyle getireceği hayırdan dolayı, Kur’ân-ı Kerim, “aleyküm (sizin aleyhi-nize)” değil de, “leküm (sizin için)” tabirini, lehtelik ifade eden lâm harf-i cerini kullanmaktadır. Bundan, onların böyle bir musibeti bizzat kendi amelleri, yoldan çıkmaları sebebiyle hak ettikleri manâsı da çıkar. Fakat Allah, mü’minleri sürekli olarak böyle bir işkence altında tutmaz ve ceza-larını çektikten sonra onları selâmete çıkaracak bir yola sevk eder.AÜ
It was a trial of their character. They were made to pass through the fire of the test to see whether they were pure gold or a base metal. Moreover, they were put to the test to see whether they would be grateful to Allah after their miraculous escape. ETبَلاءٌ “ ” (balaun), “ ابَتلَاءٌ ” (ibtela-un).B-L-W ب ل و
Raghib says this word has two meanings:
- To obtain information about one’s welfare or to acquire information about him.
- For the real condition of something to become known, whether good or bad.
When the word is used for God, it would have only the second meaning, because God knows it all, and one cannot even imagine that He is unaware of any condition {T, R}. Therefore, the word’s basic meaning is to portray the reality.
بَلِیَ “ ” (bali), “ يَبْلٰی ” (yabla) is used for a cloth to become old and worn. Because when a cloth has been worn out, its real condition comes to light. Therefore “ ابلَاءٌَ ” (bala) is used for a man’s real personality to come out during times of difficulties and misery. But it does not necessarily mean that identity of everything has to be bad. It can also be good. That is why it could also mean the real personality of someone during happy times. There are two times when a man’s reality becomes manifest, times of misery and times of happiness. At both these times, his real self appears.
اَلْمُبَالا ه “ ” (al-mubalah): to boast, or to pride oneself as to the better position in life against another {M}.
اَبْتَلا “ ” (ibtelaa): to select, to choose {T}.
In surah Al-Baqrah, the Bani Israel has been told Pharaoh’s nation perpetrated different excesses on you, but We delivered you from their oppression.
2:49 the deliverance from their oppression provided the
opportunity to watch how you behave upon getting freedom کُم وَفِیْ ذَلِ بَلاء مِّن رِّبِّکُمْ عَظِﻴْمٌ
The struggle between Right and Wrong goes on. In this struggle we get familiar with different facts of life. Sometimes one is faced with trying aspects and at other times with peaceful aspect of life’s happiness. This has been described by the Quran as “ اَبْتَلٰی ” (ibtela), meaning the different faces of life
which keep appearing. In surah Al-Fajr, this meaning is made clear (see 89:15-16). This way man can determine as to see how far his capabilities go, because he can only face the difficult aspects of life to the extent to which his latent qualities have developed. These hurdles that he faces are actually a man’s opportunities for development of his own personality. This is what “ اَبْتَلٰی ” (ibtela).LUQ
