وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصْبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍ وَٰحِدٍ فَٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنۢ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَاۖ قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌۚ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِصْرًا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلْتُمْۗ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ

“And [recall] when you said, “O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions.” [Moses] said, “Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked.” And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.”

“আর যখন তোমরা বললে, ‘হে মূসা, আমরা এক খাবারের উপর কখনো ধৈর্য ধরব না। সুতরাং তুমি আমাদের জন্য তোমার রবের নিকট দো‘আ কর, যেন তিনি আমাদের জন্য বের করেন, ভূমি যে সব্জি, কাঁকড়, রসুন, মসুর ও পেঁয়াজ উৎপন্ন করে, তা’। সে বলল, ‘তোমরা কি যা উত্তম তার পরিবর্তে এমন জিনিস গ্রহণ করছ যা নিম্নমানের? তোমরা কোন এক নগরীতে অবতরণ কর। তবে নিশ্চয় তোমাদের জন্য (সেখানে) থাকবে, যা তোমরা চেয়েছ’। আর তাদের উপর আরোপ করা হয়েছে লাঞ্ছনা ও দারিদ্র্য এবং তারা আল্লাহর ক্রোধের শিকার হল। তা এই কারণে যে, তারা আল্লাহর আয়াতসমূহকে অস্বীকার করত এবং অন্যায়ভাবে নবীদেরকে হত্যা করত। তা এই কারণে যে, তারা নাফরমানী করেছিল এবং তারা সীমালঙ্ঘন করত।”
(Al-Baqarah 2:61)

SubhanAllah! What did you learn from this Ayah?
Men were given heavenly food, literally dropping from the sky (Tafsir Ibne Katheer) yet they wanted a change! What these human things are, really!

They didn’t have to do any hard labor to earn food,
they did not have to waste time for it,
they didn’t have to die of hunger,
they didn’t have to comprise their Deen for earning Haram money,
they didn’t have to worry about their future!
There would not have been any famine ever.
SubhanAllah! still they were not satisfied only because they did not have SABR (patience) or in other words, they didn’t like the same thing every day even if it had all the blessings and goodness.

It gives you one certain knowledge that humans will never be satisfied in this life. Even if you give them an environment of peace where there is no arguments, nothing to dislike, nobody to quarrel with, no hunger, no difficulties in life, yet this won’t keep them satisfied for a long time because they would just want a CHANGE!

That’s the human being!
That’s the nature of human being!
And that’s the CERTAIN knowledge about the human being from the certain sources!
And Allah knows best.
