[quote]Assalam alaikum, I have not read the whole verse 153 you mentioned, but I know from sura Baqara what sins the Jews (people of Musa) did to deserve being struck by thunderbolt when they asked to see God plainly. They had started to worship a calf when Musa left them for just 40 nights. And this they did after Allah had rescued them from Pharaoah, by splitting the river Nile for them so they could escape, and by drowning the Pharaoh's people in the river. Sura Baqara also mentions that they used to change the verses from God, the scripture. They were an ungrateful bunch of people. They had no food or water, and food would descend from the heavens for them. Then they said to Musa we are tired of eating the same thing everyday! Regarding the divine arrows, the Arab bedouins used to be superstitious. They believed in special powers of certain arrows. When deciding if they should do something or not (like go on a trip or not, buy something or not, etc.) they would draw out arrows from the quiver, and I think based on what arrow drew out, they would make a decision. Such supertitious beliefs are haram, the arrows don't have any such power, and that is what your verse is talking about. Only Allah knows the future, not some stupid arrow that you draw from a bag.[/quote]
