Pharaoh's tyranny
In the past time, a mighty, tyrannical king lived in Egypt, known
as Pharaoh, who enslaved his people and tyrannized them, and divided his
subjects into several sections, weakened a group of them, and began to oppress
them and use them in the lowest deeds of honor and status, and these are the
children of Israel whose lineage goes back to the Prophet of God, Jacob Peace
be upon him, and they entered Egypt when our master Joseph, peace be upon him, was a minister over it
And it happened that Pharaoh was asleep, and he saw in his sleep
as if a fire had come from Jerusalem, and it burned all of Egypt except the
homes of the Children of Israel. For the destruction of the people of Egypt,
Pharaoh was terrified of this strange vision, and he ordered the killing of
every male child born among the children of Israel, for fear that this boy
would be born
Years passed, and the people of Egypt saw that the children of
Israel decreased in number because of the killing of young males, so they
feared that the adults would die with the killing of the young, so they would
not find anyone to work in their lands, so they went to Pharaoh and told him
about that, so Pharaoh thought, then he ordered the killing of the males one
year, and left them another year
The birth of Aaron and Moses
was born in the year in which children are not killed. As for
Moses, he was born in the year of the killing, so his mother feared for him,
and her thinking was perplexed about the place where she put him away from the
eyes of Pharaoh’s soldiers who were waiting for every newborn from the Children
of Israel to kill him, so God inspired her to breastfeed him and put him in a
box, then she throws this box in the Nile if it comes The soldiers, the
Almighty said: “And We inspired the mother of Musa to suckle him, and if you
fear for him, then throw him into the sea, but do not fear, and do not grieve
So I got ready A small box , she breastfed her son, then put him
in the box, and threw him into the Nile when Pharaoh's soldiers came, and she
ordered his sister to follow him, and walk next to him on the mainland to watch
him, and get to know the place where the box settled
He took the wife of Pharaoh Moses, peace be upon him
The box remained floating on the face of the river, swaying left
and right, carried by the waves from one side to the other, then those waves
settled in it towards Pharaoh's palace on the Nile, and when his sister saw
that, she hurried to her mother to tell her what happened. The lady, Asiya, the
wife of Pharaoh, was walking in the palace garden as usual, and her
maidservants were walking behind her. She saw the box on the river bank from
the side of the palace, so she ordered her maidservants to bring it, then
opened it in front of her, and Asiya looked in the box, so she looked at a
little child, so God cast in her heart Loving this little baby
Asi was sterile and did not give birth, so she took him and held
him to her breast, then kissed him, determined to protect him from killing and
slaughter, and took him to her husband, and she said to him in tenderness and
mercy: )... I am a cool eye for you and for me. They feel ([Al-Qasas: 9]
When Pharaoh saw his wife's adherence to this child, he agreed to
her request and did not order him to be killed, and he took him as a son
A few hours passed, and Pharaoh's wife was carrying the child with
joy and happiness with him, holding him to her breast and kissing him.
Suddenly, Moses wept intensely, so the lady, Asiya, realized that it was time
to breastfeed him, so she ordered a wet nurse to be brought in to breastfeed
him, and take care of him, so a large number of wet nurses came to the palace,
but the child refused to He breastfed them, which made the people of the palace
preoccupied with this matter, and this matter became famous among the people,
so his sister knew about it, so she went to the palace, and met the lady,
Pharaoh’s wife, Asiyah, and told her that she knew a wet nurse who was suitable
for this child
So Pharaoh's wife rejoiced, and asked her to hurry up and bring that nurse, so she went to her mother and found her grieving for her son with great sadness, so she told her what happened between her and Pharaoh's wife, so she calmed the soul of Moses' mother and relieved her mind
Musa's mother went with her daughter to Pharaoh's palace, and when she entered him, they brought the baby to her, and as soon as she gave him her breast, the child accepted him and drank and quenched, and the mother took her son to his home in which he was born, so Musa lived during his breastfeeding period with his father, mother, and brothers, and when he returned to Pharaoh's palace they took care of his upbringing A good upbringing, so he grew up and was raised like children of kings and princes, strong, bold and educated
The help of Israel j Moses
Moses grew up and became a strong and brave man, and one day he
was walking in the city and saw two men quarreling, one of whom was from his
people, the Children of Israel, and the other a Copt from the people of Egypt,
so the Israeli sought help from Moses, so Moses accepted, and wanted to prevent
the Egyptian from attacking, so he pushed him with his hand and he fell on the
ground dead And Moses found himself in a difficult situation, because he did
not intend to kill this man, but rather he only wanted to defend an oppressed
person, and Moses grieved, repented to God and returned to Him, and began to
pray to Him, Glory be to Him, to forgive him this sin
But soon the matter spread in the city, and the people began looking
for the killer, to punish him, but they did not find him, and the days passed,
and while Moses, as usual, was walking in the city; So the Israeli man found
himself quarreling with another Egyptian, and he sought help again with Moses,
so Moses got angry about this matter, then he advanced to resolve this dispute,
so the Israeli thought that Moses would accept him; To hit him because he was
angry with him, so he said to him: )...He said, O Moses, do you want to kill me
as you killed a person yesterday, if you only want to be a tyrant in the land,
and you do not want to be of the reformers? [Al-Qasas: 19]
learned that Moses was the killer, so they began to think of
taking revenge on him, and someone advised him to stay away from the city. So
Moses left the city in fear, looking left and right, anticipating its people,
and praying to God to save him from the wrongdoing people
Exodus to Midian
went out without a specific place in his mind to go to, then his
thinking guided him to go to the land of Midian, so he relied on God and
continued walking to it
When he reached Madian, he went towards a tree next to a well, and
sat under it, and he found two girls, with their sheep, standing far from the
crowd until the people finished, so Moses came forward from them, and asked
them about the reason for their standing far away, so they told him that they
do not water until the people finish watering their sheep, and the crowd
reduces. They went out to water because their father, an old man, could not
bear the hardship of this work, so Moses came forward and watered their sheep
for them, then he returned again to the shade of the tree to take more rest
after the trouble of traveling. And he began to supplicate to his Lord ,
saying: “...My Lord, I am poor because of what You sent down to me .”
[Al-Qasas: 24]
When the two girls returned to their father, they told him what
happened, so the father was impressed by this strange man and his magnanimity
and chivalry, and he ordered one of his daughters to go out to him and invite
him to attend so that he would reward him. The man revealed his name and his
story, so Moses told him what happened, so the Sheikh reassured him, and one of
the two girls asked her father to hire Moses to help them, as he is a strong
and honest man
The sheikh offered Musa, peace be upon him, to marry him to one of
his two daughters in exchange for him working for him for eight years, or ten
years if he wanted
agreed to this matter, and married one of the two daughters, and continued to graze the sheep with that sheikh for ten years, then Moses wanted to leave and return with his family to Egypt, so the righteous sheikh agreed to that, and honored him and provided him with what would help him on his way back to Egypt
Moses' return to Egypt
Moses walked with his family towards Egypt, until darkness fell on
them, so they sat down to rest from the impact of this journey, until they
completed the journey after that in the morning, and the weather was very cold,
so Moses looked for something to warm up on, and he saw a fire from afar, so he
asked his family to wait; Until he goes to the place of the fire, and brings
something from it with which they warm themselves
Moses, with his staff in his hand, went towards the fire that he had seen, and when he reached it, he called, saying: ﴾When he came to it, he called out, O Moses . Indeed, I am your Lord, so take off your shoes. You are in the sacred valley of Tuwa. I am God, there is no god but me, so worship me and establish prayer for my remembrance Indeed, the Hour is coming, I am about to conceal it, so that every soul will be rewarded for what it strives for
Then God Almighty asked him what he was holding in his right hand.
Musa said: “He said, ‘It is my staff, on which I lean and I smash my sheep with
it, and I have other desires with it’” [Taha: 18]
So God Almighty commanded him to throw this stick, so he threw it,
and the stick turned and turned into a large snake that moves and walks
quickly, so Moses fled from fear, fleeing, so God Almighty commanded him to
return and not be afraid, and the stick will return as it was the first time,
so Moses extended his hand to that snake to take it And if it had a stick as it
was
And Moses was dark in color, so God Almighty commanded him to put
his hand in his clothes and then take it out, so it came out pure white, and
these were two miracles from God to his Prophet Moses, to confirm him in his
upcoming message to Pharaoh and his people, then God Almighty commanded him to
go to Pharaoh to guide him and inform him of the call. So Musa responded to the
command of his Lord, but before he went, he started praying to his Lord to grant
him success in what he is going to, and to ask Him for help and assistance .
Say, and appoint for me a vizier from the family of Harun. My brother,
strengthen me with him and make him join my affairs so that we may glorify you
abundantly and remember you. Indeed, you were ever seeing us.” [Taha: 25-35]
So God Almighty answered his supplication, so Moses remembered
that he had killed a man from the Egyptians, so he was afraid that they would
kill him, so God Almighty reassured him that they would not harm him, so Moses
was reassured
returned to Egypt, and told his brother Aaron what had happened
between him and God Almighty, to share with him in delivering the message to
Pharaoh and his people, and to assist him in expelling the Children of Israel
from Egypt
And Pharaoh was severely tyrannical and oppressive to the children
of Israel, so Aaron and Moses, peace and blessings be upon them, turned to
their Lord, praying that He would save them from the tyranny of Pharaoh. Then
God the Most High said to them, reassuring and affirming: {He said, Do not be
afraid, for I am with you both, I hear and see. Your Lord, and peace be upon
those who follow the guidance. Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the
punishment is upon those who lie and turn away. Taha: 46-48]
Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh
When Moses went with his brother Aaron to Pharaoh, they called him
to God, and expelled the children of Israel with them, but Pharaoh began to
mock them and ridicule them, and what they brought, and reminded Moses that he
was the one who raised him in his palace and kept caring for him until he
killed the Egyptian and fled on the run, so Moses told him that God had guided
him and made him a prophet, in order to invite him to worship God and obey Him,
but Pharaoh did not respond to him, so Moses offered him to come to him with
evidence that would show him the sincerity of his message
asked him for evidence if he was honest, so Moses threw his stick,
and it turned into a big snake, so the people were afraid and terrified of this
snake, so Moses extended his hand to it and took it, so the stick returned as
it was. Then he put his hand in the pocket of his shirt, then took it out , and
it was pure white
The confrontation between Moses and the magicians of Pharaoh
Pharaoh told his people that Moses is a sorcerer, so the people advised
him to gather magicians from everywhere to confront Moses and his magic,
provided that this meeting was on the day of adornment, and this day was the
day of the feast of Pharaoh and his people, where all people gather, in a
spacious place in front of Pharaoh's palace to celebrate
hastened to announce the date to all the people, so that they
would witness this day, and he wrote to all the magicians to prepare the
equipment for that day
The expected day came, and people raced to the debate arena to see
who was victorious. Moses or the witches?
And before Pharaoh came out to Moses, he met with the magicians, and he began to desire them, promise them, and grant them great hopes, as they were victorious over Moses and his brother, and surpassed them both, and the magicians were greedy for what Pharaoh had of reward and status
later , Pharaoh and the magicians behind him went out to the
debate arena, then he sat in the place that had been prepared for him and his
entourage, and the magicians stood in front of Moses and Aaron, may blessings
and peace be upon them both
After that, Pharaoh raised his hand, signaling the start of the debate . The magicians offered Moses one of two things. Either he throws his stick first or they throw theirs first. So Moses left them the beginning
So the magicians threw their ropes and sticks, so they bewitched
the eyes of the people, and all the ropes and disobedience turned into snakes
seeking and moving before the eyes of those present, so the people were afraid
of the horror of what they saw in front of them, even Moses and Aaron, peace be
upon them, were afflicted with fear, so God revealed to Moses not to be afraid
and throw his stick, so Moses and his brother were assured of God’s command
Then he threw his staff, and it turned into a great serpent that swallowed the
magicians' ropes and their sticks. When the magicians saw that, they knew that
it was a miracle of God's miracles and not magic, so God opened their hearts to
believe in God and believe what Moses brought, so they prostrated to God the
One and Only, declaring their faith in the Lord of Moses and Aaron
And here Pharaoh's anger intensified and he started threatening
the magicians, and he said to them: ) He said, "Did you believe in him
before I gave you permission? He is your chief who taught you magic, so I will
certainly cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides." I will
crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, so that you may know which of us is
more severe in torment and more lasting.” [Taha: 71]
But the sorcerers were not afraid and did not panic from his words
and threats, after God brought the light of truth and faith into their hearts,
so they said: {They said: {We will not give you preference over what has come
to us of the clear proofs. our Lord to forgive us our sins and You forced us on
him with magic, and God is good and keeps you. Indeed, whoever comes to his
Lord as a criminal, he will have Hell in it. He will not die in it, nor will he
live. And whoever comes to him as a believer has Fill in the righteous deeds,
for those are the highest ranks , Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow,
wherein they will abide, and that is the reward of those who purify themselves
(Taha: 72). -76]
So Pharaoh became very angry, and the deceivers among his people
incited him against Moses and the Children of Israel, so Pharaoh issued orders
to his soldiers to kill the sons of those who believed among the Children of
Israel, and leave the women, and Pharaoh was able with these threats to
terrorize the weak and those in whose hearts there was a disease among the
people of Moses, so they did not believe in him out of fear. From Pharaoh and
his oppression, and even those who believed were not completely safe from fear
and awe of Pharaoh
When Moses saw what afflicted his people of fear and panic, he
turned to God with a supplication to save him and the believers from Pharaoh's
plot.
And Pharaoh began thinking of a trick to get rid of Moses, and one
day he gathered his aides and his clan and announced to them what he had
reached, which is to kill Moses.
And after he finished his speech, if a man from his people and
clan had believed in Moses secretly, he would say to him: )... Will you kill a
man because he says, “My Lord is God,” and he has come to you with clear proofs
from your Lord, and if he is a liar, then against him is a lie. And if he is
truthful, some of what he promises will befall you. God does not guide the
extravagant . A liar ( [Ghafir: 28] Then he called the Egyptians to believe in
God and warned them of the punishment. So Pharaoh turned away from him and did
not listen to his advice
The calamity that befell Pharaoh and his people
And the days passed, and Pharaoh and his aides began to torment
the children of Israel and force them to work, and he did not listen to what
Moses asked him to leave him and his people to leave Egypt to the Levant, so
God imposed on them years of drought and poverty as the water of the Nile
decreased, the fruits decreased, and the people became hungry, and they were
helpless before God’s affliction. Glory be to Him, and God sent them other
types of torment in addition to what they are in, such as the flood that
drowned their crops and homes, and the locusts that ate what remained of their
crops and trees and overpowered them with moths, so he ate what they stored in
their silos of grain and flour, and sent them frogs, so they disturbed their
comfort, and about Their water that comes from the Nile, wells and eyes are
blood
All these afflictions afflicted Pharaoh and his people, but Moses
and those who believed with him, nothing happened to them, so this was evidence
and proof of the sincerity of what Moses and his brother Aaron came with
passed , and these afflictions continued, and were even increasing
day by day, so the Egyptians went to Pharaoh to advise him to release the
Children of Israel in exchange for Moses calling on his Lord to remove that
harm from them, and intercede for them with his Lord for this torment and
distress
prayed to his Lord, until He answered him, and revealed what
befell Pharaoh and his people of torment and affliction
Moses prayed to his Lord to get rid of the oppression of Pharaoh and his soldiers
Pharaoh increased his stubbornness and disbelief in God, and when Moses saw Pharaoh’s insistence on his disbelief and ungratefulness, and his persistence in his sin and his denial of all the verses that he brought, he raised his hands to heaven, turning to God, supplicating and beseeching Him, glory be to Him, to save the Children of Israel from the hands of Pharaoh and his soldiers, and to punish the infidels with torment. insulting
God Almighty answered the prayer of His Prophet and Messenger
Moses, and the divine command came to Moses to go out with the Children of
Israel from Egypt at night, not fearing the consequence, and told him that
Pharaoh will follow him, but God will save him and those who believe with him,
and Pharaoh and his soldiers will drown
told the Children of Israel the news, and asked them to prepare to
go out with him if the night came, so Moses' people hurried to prepare to leave
Egypt, for it is the hour that they have been waiting for
walked in the direction of the sea, and after many hours, Moses
and those with him had come a long way on their feet, and the news of the
exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt reached Pharaoh, so he became very
agitated, and he issued orders that all his soldiers meet with him immediately
In moments, a large number of soldiers and horsemen gathered to
Pharaoh, so he took them and went out with them, waiting for the trail of Moses
and his people until he caught up with them at sunrise, and here the children
of Israel seized terror and panic from the horror of the situation in which
they are. They were tormented and punished, and they thought that Pharaoh would
inevitably overtake them
So Moses reassured them and reminded them that God would help them
and save them, so God commanded Moses to hit the sea with his stick, so he did,
and a dry road split, and the Children of Israel rushed through it before
Pharaoh and his soldiers reached them
Pharaoh and his soldiers drowned
When Pharaoh and those with him reached the shore, the Children of
Israel had gone out to the other shore, and when Pharaoh saw that the path that
the Children of Israel took was still there, he also rushed with his soldiers
to catch up with them, and when Pharaoh and his soldiers reached the middle of
the sea, the road turned into water, and they drowned All of you. And when
Pharaoh realized that he would drown, he wanted to escape by a trick, so he
said: {And We crossed the sea with the Children of Israel, so Pharaoh and his
soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him,
he said, “I believe that there is no god but God.” He in whom the Children of
Israel believed, and I am of the Muslims.” [Yunus: 90]
But no way, God's command was executed, and Pharaoh drowned and
witnessed death, and he was certain that there was no escape for him from it,
and at this time repentance does not work, and regret does not work
And after Pharaoh breathed his last, the waves carried his corpse
and threw it on the seashore for the Egyptians to see, and they all realize
that the man whom they worshiped and obeyed besides God, could not ward off
death from himself, and became an example for every arrogant and mighty person.
The direction of the children of Israel to the Holy Land
After the Children of Israel crossed the sea, they walked towards
the Holy Land, and on the way they saw people worshiping idols, so they asked
Moses to make a god for them like these infidels, so Moses was patient with
them and explained to them their ignorance, and showed them the countless
blessings of God upon them, and that God favored them upon his creation, and
that he saved them from Pharaoh and his soldiers, and he alone is worthy of
worship and obedience
And Moses and those with him continued the march, and the heat of the sun burned their faces, so the Children of Israel went to Moses to complain to him about that, so God subjected them to the clouds, standing with them if they stopped, and walking with them when they walked, to shade them and protect them from the flames of the scorching sun . And when they were thirsty, God inspired Moses to strike with his stick that he carried with him the stone, so Moses raised his stick and fell with it on a stone in the mountain, and then a new miracle of Moses occurs before the eyes of the children of Israel, where twelve eyes explode as soon as the stick falls on the stone, with the number of the tribes of the children of Israel who were with him, which made Moses allocate a spring for each tribe to drink from
And when they were hungry, God’s grace overtook them, as He gave
them manna, which is a kind of sweets, and quail, which is a kind of bird that
looks like quail, so they began to eat from it, but they quickly got tired of
this food and got bored of it, so they went to Moses complaining to him about
that, and they said: )...Oh! Moses, we will not be patient with one food, so
pray to your Lord to produce for us from what the earth grows of its herbs, its
cucumbers, its garlic, its lentils, and its onions. Come closer to what is
better, go down to Egypt, for you will have what you asked, and humiliation and
humiliation were inflicted upon them, and they were plagued by the wrath of
God. Signs of God and kill the prophets Unjustly, that is because they
disobeyed and used to transgress.” [Al-Baqarah: 61]
was amazed , then told them that this would happen in the land, so
let them go to a place where they plant and work until what they ask for is
fulfilled
Honoring Moses by sending down the Torah to him
The Children of Israel lived in safety and reassurance, and they
needed a law to rule on, and a law that regulated their lives, so God inspired
Moses to go out on his own to a specific place, to give him the law that the
Children of Israel resort to and regulate their lives, so Moses left his
brother Aaron over his people, and preached to him and reminded him of God And
warned him of misguided people who try to corrupt others
Then he went to the mountain where he met his Lord when he was
returning from Madian to Egypt, and he had the Torah revealed to him. God bless
Moses, indicating that man, with this formation, is not able to see God
Almighty, and until the heart of Moses is reassured, God told him that he would
appear to the mountain, and Moses had only to look at the mountain, and notice
what would happen, and Moses looked at the mountain, and he saw it collapsed
and destroyed
And the Qur’an depicted this for us: } And when Musa came to our
appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me that I
look at you.” When his Lord manifested himself to the mountain, He leveled it
with nothingness, and Moses fell unconscious. Then when he came to his senses,
he said, Glory be to You, I repent to You, and I am the first of the believers.
Al-A’raf: 143]
So Moses took the tablets containing the Torah, and they contained
sermons and rulings by which the lives of the Children of Israel were organized
and upright
Polytheism and worship of the calf
And it happened among the Children of Israel, after Moses had left
them, that a man from among them known as Samaritan, gathered what they had of
jewelry and gold, and made for them a hollow idol in the shape of a calf. And
the God of Moses, so the children of Israel believed him, and worshiped the
calf and left the worship of the one and only God, so the Prophet of God Harun
turned to them advising and admonishing them, and that they were tempted by
this matter, but they continued in their ignorance, and they did not benefit from
the advice of Aaron, but rather objected to him and almost killed him, and
declared to him that they would not They leave worshiping this calf, until
Moses returns to them
And when Moses returned and found his people in that state, he
became very angry with them, and out of the intensity of his grief and anger at
what his people had done, he threw the tablets in which the Torah was from his
hands, and went to his brother Aaron and grabbed his head and pulled him to him
tightly, and said to him in a voice that showed anger: {He said, O Aaron.} What
prevented you, when you saw them going astray, from following me? Did you
disobey my command? (Taha: 92-93)
Aaron said: “He said, ‘You sleep, do not seize my beard or my
head. I was afraid that you would say that you divided the children of Israel
and did not observe my words.’” [Taha: 94] And he told him that the people were
about to kill him. That is the man who made this calf, and he asked him about
the matter, and the Samaritan told him what happened, so Moses burned that calf
until he made it into small atoms, then he threw those atoms into the sea
Repentance of the Children of Israel
The Children of Israel felt their bad deeds, so they regretted it,
and declared their repentance to God, and asked him for mercy and forgiveness,
so God Almighty revealed to Moses that Aaron was innocent of them and that he
tried a lot with them to move away from the worship of the calf, so Moses’ heart
was reassured that his brother did not participate in that sin, so he went to
God Almighty seeking forgiveness for himself and his brother, saying: “He said,
‘My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy, and You are
the Most Merciful of those who show mercy’” [Al-A’raf: 151]
And Moses chose seventy men from the best of his people, and he
took them to a place determined by God Almighty, and when they reached that
place, behold, they asked to see God openly, so Moses got angry with them, and
God sent down a thunderbolt on them that destroyed them, and took their souls.
So Moses took calling God and beseeching him to have mercy on them
And God Almighty willed that His Prophet Moses not be disgraced,
so he responded to him and revived those who were killed by the thunderbolt, so
that they might thank God for the blessing of reviving them after their death,
and Moses returned them to his people, so he took the Torah and began to read
it to the children of Israel and explain to them the sermons and rulings in it,
and he took them covenants and covenants So that they know what is in it
without violating it, so when they promised him that they would adhere to what
was in it, he took them and walked in the direction of the blessed land, which
is Palestine, but they began to deny the Torah and the orders and rulings that
came in it, so God wanted to take revenge on them, so he lifted a large rock
from the mountain and moved it until it became as if it were a cloud that
shaded them. So they were afraid of it, and they thought that God would cast it
upon them, so they turned to God for help and supplication, and they repented
to God to save them from destruction, so God turned away from them that rock as
mercy and bounty from Him
Entering the Holy Land
God revealed to Moses that the time had come for the children of
Israel to settle down, and for them to enter the Holy Land of Palestine. So
Moses rejoiced with great joy . But the children of Israel are cowardly and
afraid, as they announced this to Moses, so they said: {They said, O Moses,
there is a mighty people in it, and we will not enter it until they are
expelled from it
And here two believing men stood up and said to them: “...Enter
the door against them, and when you enter it , you will be victorious, and in
God, so put your trust if you are believers.” [Al-Ma’idah: 23]
So what was the response of the Children of Israel except that
they said: “They said, O Moses, we will never enter it as long as they are in
it, so go you and your Lord and fight, we are here sitting” [Al-Maa’idah: 24]
intensified against those people who forget the blessing of God
upon them, so he began to pray to his Lord to distance him from these sinners
Then the answer came to him from God Almighty, He said: {He said: It
is forbidden for them for forty years to wander in the land, so do not grieve
over the disobedient people} [Al-Ma’idah: 26]
Thus, God commanded the children of Israel to wander in the land
for forty years. As a result of their objection to God's commands, and their
failure to comply with what Moses commanded them to do, the Children of Israel
began walking in the desert without guidance and continued wandering until they
entered the Holy Land after that at the hands of Joshua bin Nun after he
reunited them
Musa and al-Khidr
One day, Moses, peace be upon him, gave a sermon to the children
of Israel, and preached to them an eloquent sermon, from which the eyes
overflowed, and the hearts softened for it, then he went back from where he
came from, and a man followed him and walked behind him until, when he
approached him, he asked him, saying: O Messenger of God, are you on earth know
you? He said : No
So God reproached him because he did not return knowledge to God -
Glory be to Him - and revealed to him that in the compound of Bahrain there is
a servant who is more knowledgeable than you, so Moses got up and asked his
Lord for a sign to know him
So God revealed to him to take a dead whale with him on his
travels, and in the place where life will return to the whale, he will find the
righteous servant, so Moses took a dead whale in a container, then he set out
to meet the good servant, and accompanied him on this trip, Joshua bin Nun, and
he was a young boy
Moses walked with his boy for a long time until they reached a
large rock by the sea, so they sat there to rest from the impact of travel, so
they laid their heads and fell asleep, and after a while the boy, Joshua bin
Nun, woke up before Moses woke up, and he saw something strange, he saw that
the whale moved and life came into it, then The whale fell by the shore, and
the waves of the sea came and carried it inside, so when Moses woke up, the boy
forgot to tell him what happened, and they started walking on their way to meet
the righteous man
Hours passed, and Moses and his boy were still walking diligently
and energetically to meet the righteous man, until Moses felt hungry, so he
asked his girl to bring the whale from him, so he told Moses that he had
forgotten him there at the place where they sat to rest from the impact of
fatigue, and God revived him, then he jumped and took his way into the sea
Moses told him that this is the place he wanted
returned to that rock where they had forgotten the whale, and they
found a man sitting covered with a cloth, his name was Al-Khidr, so Moses
approached him and greeted him, so Al-Khidr revealed the cover from his face
and said: Is there peace in your land? who are you He said: I am Moses.
Al-Khidr said: Moses, the children of Israel? He said: Yes. Al-Khidr said: What
is your business?
He said: You came to teach me what you have taught me. Al-Khidr
said: Is it not enough for you that the Torah is in your hands, and that the
revelation comes to you? Oh Moses, I have knowledge that you should not know,
and you have knowledge that I should not know. Suddenly a small bird came and
drank from the sea with its beak. Al-Khidr said to Musa: By God, my knowledge
and your knowledge in the side of God’s knowledge is only as this bird took
from the sea with its beak. [Bukhari]
Then Al-Khidr told Musa that he could not bear what he would see
of his command, so Musa promised him patience and good obedience, so Al-Khidr
asked him not to ask him about anything until he mentioned it to him.
agreed to that, and they set off walking on the seashore, and a
great ship passed in front of them, so Al-Khidr spoke to its owners, that he
and Moses should ride with them, so they carried them, and they did not take
any payment from them, because they knew Al-Khidr well
And when the ship sailed, Musa was surprised that al-Khidr had
taken off a plank from the ship, so he approached al-Khidr and said to him:
People carried us without a loom (reward). Al-Khidr said : Did I not say that
you would not be able to have patience with me? So Moses remembered what
Al-Khidr had stipulated, so he apologized to him that he had forgotten
So Al-Khidr accepted Musa’s excuse, and he did not blame him this
time for forgetting. Right face. Al-Khidr reminded him that he would not be
able to be patient with him
felt that he had hastened to inquire about the cause of the
killing of this boy, so he apologized to Al-Khidr, and promised him that if he
asked him about anything after that, he would leave him.
So Al-Khidr accepted Musa’s excuse this time as well, and they
walked on their way until he reached a village, so they asked its people for
food, but they refused. and marveled at his behavior with those who refused to
feed them, and mentioned to the greens that he deserved to be paid for what he
had done
Al-Khidr told him that he must leave him, and began to explain to
him what had happened. It was explained to him that the ship belonged to poor
people working on it in transporting passengers from coast to coast for a
meager wage, and there was a mighty king who took every good ship from its
people unjustly and aggressively, and that he wanted to disgrace it by breaking
one of the boards so that that tyrant would not take it, because he does not
take damaged ships
And that the boy who killed him had his parents believers, and
this boy was an infidel, so he saw that his killing was a mercy for his parents
and preserving their faith so that they would not follow him on his religion,
and may God bless them with a boy other than him in terms of religion and
morals and more righteous than him
And that the wall was owned by two orphan boys and their father
was righteous, and under the wall was a treasure of gold, and if he had left it
until it fell, this treasure would have appeared, and the two boys could not,
due to their weakness, maintain it, so the wall was repaired for them until
they grow up and take their treasure because of the righteousness of their
father, because the righteousness of the fathers reaches his blessing to Sons.
The story of the Israelite cow
In the life of the Prophet of God, Moses, strange and strange
things happened, including this story that revolves around the killing of a man
from the Children of Israel, who did not know his killer, and they searched a
lot and did not know him, so when they got tired of searching, they remembered
that among them was the Prophet of God Moses, so some people went to him and
asked him To call his Lord to know that killer, so Moses called his Lord to
reveal this secret, so God revealed to him to order the people to slaughter a
cow, and they take part of it and beat the dead man with it, so God revives
him, and tells them who killed him, and when the people came, Moses told them
that God commands them to slaughter a cow, so they marveled The people of what
he said, and they thought that he was mocking and mocking them, and the
Children of Israel did not rush to implement God's command, but they began to
ask Moses about the descriptions of the cow and argue with him, and they asked
him to show them some of their descriptions
So God commanded them to sacrifice a cow that was not a virgin,
nor a big one that gave birth to a lot, but rather a strong cow that gave birth
once or twice, and it is the strongest and best of cows, but they did not, and
they asked Moses to show them what color it is
So Moses told them that God commands them to slaughter a cow that
was bright yellow in color, but they did not do so, and they asked Moses to add
to them the descriptions of the cow, as the cows were similar to them. So they
stressed themselves by that, so God stressed them, and commanded them to
slaughter a wild cow that did not plow the land, did not water the crops, and
was free of defects
So they went out looking for the required cow until they found it, so they bought it, then slaughtered it, and brought it to Moses and waited until they saw what he would say to them, and what he would do in front of them. And he returned life to him as it was, so he told about the killer, then he died again. This was a great miracle from God to confirm the sincerity of His Prophet Moses
The story of Qarun with Moses
Qarun was from the people of Moses, and he was rich, his wealth
and treasures filled many treasuries, so he was unable to carry the keys to those
treasuries except for a group of strong men due to their abundance
Qarun disobeyed Musa and Aaron and did not accept their judgment
and advice, and he thought that the blessings that God bestowed upon him did
not come to him except because he deserved them and that he had acquired them
with his knowledge
And one day, Qarun went out to the city while he was in great
adornment and a large procession, wearing the best of what he had of the
adornment clothes, and when he passed by the people, some of them approached
him and wanted to advise him and preach to him, so they said to him: )...Do not
rejoice, for God does not love those who are happy. But seek what He has given
you . God is the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share of this
world, and do good as God has done good to you, and do not seek corruption in
the land, for God does not love the corrupters. They said that he collected
this money with his intelligence and ability
reward and said to them: )...Woe to you! God’s reward is better
for those who believe and do righteous deeds. 0 ]
And when Qarun's arrogance and arrogance increased, Musa called on
him, so God responded to him, and destroyed him, his house, and his treasures,
the earth, and destroyed his family, and he did not find anyone to support him
or defend him. And it is estimated that were it not for God’s favor upon us, He
would have swallowed us up, and it is as if the unbelievers will not succeed.”
[Al-Qasas: 82]
The death of Moses, peace be upon him
When the time came for the death of the Prophet of God, Moses, God sent him the angel of death, peace be upon him, and said to him: Answer your Lord. So Musa struck him in the eye and he tore it out, so the angel of death returned to God and said to him: You sent me to a servant who does not want to
So God Almighty said to him: Go back to him and tell him to put
his hand on the back of a bull (the back of a bull), so he will have one year
with what his hand covered with every hair. So the king returned to him and
told him that, so Moses said: O Lord, then what ? And God Almighty said : Then
death, and Moses said: Now. Then Moses asked God - the Mighty and Sublime - to
bring him closer to the Holy Land, so Moses died close to Jerusalem in the
Blessed Land in Palestine.[ Agreed upon]
And it was narrated that the angels were the ones who took charge
of burying him and praying for him, and he lived for one hundred and twenty
years
