Aasalamu alaikum My Brothers And Sisters in islam know your Prophets History,continuation from Prophet Musa AS May Allah be Please with him Aameen The Pharaoh Learns of the Believers Escape In the darkness of night, Moses led his people towards the Red Sea, and in the morning they reached the beach. By then Pharaoh was aware of their departure, so he mobilized a huge army to pursue them. The Parting of the Red Sea The impatient children of Israel soon became agitated and Joshua (Yusha), Ibn Nun, exclaimed: In front of us is this impassable barrier, the sea, and behind us the enemy; surely death cannot be avoided! Moses replied that he would wait for further guidance from Allah. These words filled them with some hope, but man is always impatient for results: they were willing to surrender themselves back into slavery. At that moment Allah revealed to Moses: Smite the sea with your staff! Moses did as he was commanded. A fierce wind blew, the sun shone brightly, and in a flash the sea parted, the crests of the waves standing like mountains on each side. Moses led his people across. This miracle proved Mosess oft-repeated claim. Verily! My Lord is with me! As they looked back, they saw Pharaoh and his army approaching, about to take the very path which had been opened for them. In great fear and panic, they pleaded with Moses to ask Allah to close the sea. However, Allah commanded Moses not to smite the sea with his staff again, for Allahs decree was already in action. The Death of the Pharaoh Pharaoh and his army had seen the miracle, how the sea had parted, but being the pretender that he was, Pharaoh turned to his men and proclaimed: Look! The sea has opened at my command so that I may follow those rebels and arrest them! They rushed across the parted waters, and when they were midway, Allah commanded the sea to return to its former state. Terror-stricken Pharaoh, realizing his end had come, declared out of fear: I believe that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah in Whom the children of Israel believe, and I am of those who surrender to Him. But Allah did not accept this declaration from the tyrant, and the waters closed over him, drowning him and his entire army. Almighty Allah narrated: And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued. Then Pharaoh sent callers to all the cities. Saying: Verily! These indeed are but a small band. And verily, they have done what has enraged us; but we are host all assembled, amply fore-warned. So, We expelled them from gardens and springs, treasures, and every kind of honorable place. Thus (We turned them Pharaohs people) out, and We caused the children of Israel to inherit them. So they pursued them at sunrise. And when the two hosts saw each other, the people of Moses said: We are sure to be overtaken. Moses said: Nay, verily! With me is my Lord, He will guide me. Then We inspired Moses saying: Strike the sea with your stick. And it parted, and each separate (part of that sea water) became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain. Then We brought near the others (Pharaohs party) to that place. And We saved Moses and all those with him. Then We drowned the others. Verily! In this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers. And verily, your Lord! He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. (Ch 26:52-68 Quran) Moses People Escape and Pharaohs Death - Quranic In another surah Almighty Allah narrated: And We took the children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he sai: I believe that La ilaha illa huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but) He, in whom the children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allahs Will). Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the mufsideen (evildoers, corrupts, etc.). So this day We shall deliver your dead body out from the sea that you maybe a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless or our Ayah (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). (Ch 10:90-92 Quran) The curtain fell on Pharaohs tyranny, and the waves threw his corpse up to the western seashore. The Egyptians saw him and knew that their god whom they worshipped and obeyed were mere slaves who could not keep death away from their own necks. The Moses People Desire an Idol In spite of Pharaohs death, he left a bad influence on the souls of the children of Israel. It was diffiult for the years of oppression and intense humilty to pass easily. He had made them accustomed to humbling themselves and submitting to someone other than Allah. he had so suppressed their souls and spoiled their nature that they began to torture Moses out of ignorance and obstinacy. The miracle of the parting of the sea was still fresh in their minds, damp sea sands were still stuck on their soles, when they passed by a people worshipping idols. Instead of manifesting their indignation at the idolaters oppression of the intellect by celebrating the praises of Allah for His guidance, they looked to Moses for him to specify a god for them to worship as those other people did. They were jealous of the other people and their idols, and they desired the same. They missed the ancient idolatry which they had lived with during the reign of Pharaoh. Moses People Desire an Idol - Quranic Allah the Exalted revealed: And We brought the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea, and they came upon a people devoted to some of their idols (in worship). They said: O Mûsa (Moses)! Make for us an ilâhan (a god) as they have âliha (gods). He said: Verily, you are a people who know not (the Majesty and Greatness of Allâh and what is obligatory upon you, i.e. to worship none but Allâh Alone, the One and the Only God of all that exists). [Mûsa (Moses) added:] Verily, these people will be destroyed for that which they are engaged in (idols-worship). And all that they are doing is in vain. He said: Shall I seek for you an Ilâhan (a God) other than Allâh, while He has given you superiority over the Alamîn (mankind and jinns of your time). And (remember) when We rescued you from Firauns (Pharaoh) people, who were afflicting you with the worst torment, killing your sons and letting your women live. And in that was a great trial from your Lord. (Ch. 7: 138-141) May allah bless US all Aameen
