Steadfastness: Lessons From The Story Of Prophet Musa, His Mother, And Pharaoh by Lukgaf(op): 8:14am On Jan 19, 2024

There are valuable lessons to be gleaned from the story of Prophet Musa, his mother, and Pharaoh as narrated in the Holy Quran. One noteworthy lesson is the importance of steadfastness and patience in the face of Allah's decree.

During Pharaoh's oppressive reign, he ordered the killing of male infants. Despite the cruelty of Pharaoh's regime, Prophet Musa was born at a time when a prophecy foretold the downfall of Pharaoh's kingdom at the hands of a male child. Remarkably, in an act of divine mercy, Allah orchestrated Musa's upbringing under the very ruler who sought to eliminate him.

The Quran narrates, "We inspired Moses's mother, saying, 'Suckle him, and then, when you fear for his safety, throw him in the river: do not be afraid, and do not grieve, for We shall return him to you and make him a messenger" (Surah al-Qasas, verse 7).

This directive may seem puzzling. Musa's mother, despite praying for his safety, was instructed to cast him into the river. However, Allah's plan unfolded perfectly as Musa not only survived but received an upbringing of distinction even in the household of his potential enemy.

As Muslims, we are urged to draw lessons from this narrative. Regardless of our circumstances, gratitude and reliance on Allah should be our guiding principles. Often, we may feel that our prayers go unanswered, but Allah, in His wisdom, responds in ways that are ultimately in our favor. Even in moments when we believe all hope is lost, we must not despair, for Allah knows what is best for us.

As stated in Surat Al-Baqarah (2:216), "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not."

May Allah grant us faith, and firmness in our resolve, and may He answer all our prayers.

Inspired from one of the Tafseers of Shayk Dr. Luqman Idris (May Allah be protect him).

Why do Muslims hate christians and jews so much when their entire religion derived majorly from those two religions?

The only difference is that Mohammed changed things to make himself the focal point

and who told you muslims hate jews and christains,stop spreading stupid lies, even in the quran muslim males are allowed to marry christain and jewish women

Muslims don’t hate Jews and Christians even idolatries we are to be kind to living creatures.

The only difference is that Mohammed changed things to make himself the focal point

Christians and Jews don’t believe in prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and they literally called prophet Isa ( Jesus) their lord, and that’s what Islam against but still yet we must be kind to them despite religion differences and we must not force them to accept our belief or religion ( it’s clearly started in the Quran) No compulsion in religion

Imagine a village illiterate who plagiarizes 99% of his "scripture" from two older and saner religions, then turns around to try and wipe out members of the older religions because they rejected his shabby claims to "prophethood" on the basis of his intellectually and spiritually bankrupt re-interpretation of their Scriptures.
You should use your brain oooo
How can a stack illiterate plagiarized and it will be preserve and accurate more the original version..
For instance. The person who never came Egypt and said the remains body of pharaoh was still in the red sea and truly was later discover in 1800S...your bible didn't said the remains of pharaoh is still in sea....
So tell me where there is plagiarism

The Qur'an is not defective my friend and no ARAB was telling the story of a JEW but rather the stories you read in the glorious Qur'an were told by the maker of both Arabs and Jews who knows them both more than they know themselves.
So the fact that Qur'an was revealed to mankind in Arabic language just like Bible was revealed in Hebrew language does not mean the native speakers of these two languages have any authority over the revelations.

Well, there is a difference between historicity and belief. You are talking from a point of belief not logic. From logic, it does not make sense for an Arab to tell Jews their history just as you will not allow a stranger tell you your family history

But have you made research on the historical fact ....the historians actually confirmed it's true as Quran said..
But to your book according to how historian said it the time of event and record on the bible lapses....
So that may shock you...

Which historian? The Quran does not have any chronological or datic context for the stories. It is random, disjointed and convoluted. So which historian will confirm something that is not dated nor chronological
The biblical account is both dated and chronological as well as contemporaneous

So because it is generally believed that the Bible is corrupted, it has additions, deletion and lots of bulshit by the Paul and his likes, you Qur'an is like that. The Jews have and the enemies of Islam have being trying to corrupt the Qur' an for decades but the couldn't they all failed.
The interpolation in the Bible is the main reason for all these pastors,bishops and the likes to start misbehaving the Qur'an is pure unadulterated and it can never be adulterated.
The Qur'an is one copy unlike Bible that has 66 version which brings confusion

I have confirmed from independent sources and it is obvious
An Arab cannot be in the best place to tell Jews their history
It is common sense anyway
