Why is the Prophet Musa mentioned so much in the Quran? Amazing
question why? And the answer to that is Prophet Musa alayhis.
Salaam shares many, many similarities with the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu when he was salam, and so by revealing verses
about the Prophet Musa, the prophets I send them can take
analogy from that take lessons from that and get strengthened
from that because what Musa suffered, and what the prophets
suffered a very similar, Musa had trouble with the Pharaoh the
prophet had trouble with Quraysh Prophet Musa says followers made
many mistakes as followers, they were not good followers. These
verses are revealed so that the Muslims could read them and avoid
the same mistakes. Very simple answer to that, for example, an
example of that is how many questions they kept asking. And
Allah advised the Muslims are commanded the Muslims let us know
and Russia and tour de la quinta Zuko. Oh, Sahaba Oh, companions
Don't be like the followers of Moses. They were such bad
followers. They would keep asking question after question after
question after question. Whereas the Quran says, oh, companions
don't ask about things, that if you get the answer for it, you
might not like the answer. They would harm you. The followers of
Musa said in Bentota book of Akkad Tila go you and your God and fight
we're not fighting in the Hoonah chi Dune, we're sitting right
here. Can you believe that? You guys just saw the Red Sea? Your
clothes is still wet from the Red Sea? You're talking about to your
prophet like that? Are you nuts? What? Something's wrong with your
heads. You literally just saw the Red Sea.
Open up, you walked right through it with your own bodies, looking
right and left. How long is that walk take at least 2530 minutes in
our time. At the very least, if not more. So you're literally
watching and looking then while you're crossing the Red Sea. You
as you said, Oh, Moses, we can't see our relatives, because they
were there each of the 12 tribes and the Red Sea actually opened in
12 areas.
Musa Alisa can't believe this. Are you actually complaining? None of
this is impossible. You cannot possibly the Red Seas opened up
for you. You cannot possibly the Red Seas opening for each one of
your tribes. And you still found a way to complain you are unreal,
unbelievable. And what did they say they say almost we can't see
our relatives we can't see each other. So Allah Tada cut windows
for them in the middle of the water. So you have the water came
up made walls, so that they could walk through on top of that
windows opened up so they could look and see that each other and
the other tribes and feel. And the only reason that Allah accepted
that is that this good relations and concern about your relatives
concerned about your tribe concerned about your family is a
good thing. Then they got to the opposite side and they saw the
frown drowning. Then they said oh Moses, we saw him go under the
water. But we're so worried maybe he has some kind of strength that
he was able to swim back to the other side. So Allah Tata calls
the body of Fatone just to rise up Sure. And they all literally
looked at the dead body of the pharaoh, then it went back into
the water. Yet after seeing all of that, they're going to now say
when Allah says go and fight for your land, no, fight these enemies
of yours. To take to claim the promised land, you are actually
going to say if hub and our book Africa Tila in her Hanukkah I
don't.
Something is deeply, deeply wrong with the mentality of anybody who
witnesses that one miracle are all those miracles, the biggest
miracle in the world at that point. And if you think about a
miracle, what other miracle let's say before Islam, before the
Quran, what other miracle was witnessed by that many hundreds of
1000s of people
None None. No miracle was witnessed by that many hundreds of
1000s of people from the time of Adam it Saddam until the time of
the prophets of Allah when he sent him the splitting of the Red Seas,
the greatest miracle in terms of massiveness of it and literally
mountains made out of water. The effects of it killing the most
powerful regime on the earth. Pharaoh in his own his military
the whole military killed in one day drowns
three, the number of people who saw it, this is nobody can deny
it. If you're living at that time, nobody can deny that the number of
people who saw it
for you you need to see it you're in it you're literally in it
you're literally walking in the bed of the Red Sea. And you can
probably touch those the water as its as it's up there. Yet you're
gonna come and say go you and your God and fight and we're sitting
here. So Quran reveals all these stories live with a b2b to make
your heart strong, to make your heart strong and to realize that
so look at look at Moses face
Your followers are far better than that. Nothing that the Muslims
ever came did was ever came close to that and to sit to be assigned
to Muslims. Look what they did. Don't ever do this. Don't ever
come close to this. So what did the Sahaba say?
At the Battle of beds are the companions were not expected to
fight the battle of beds. And most of them were unsolved meaning they
were people from yesterday, meaning they had no experience
with Christ. They had not fought anything with Christ, they had no
business with Kadesh price did not anger them or upset them or steal
from them or kill them or abuse them. So the prophesy setting them
realize this that this was not supposed to be a fight a war, a
battle. And Ansara This is not what we contracted them. We
contracted that you would help protect the profit in Medina, not
outside Medina.
So the prophesy centum wanted to see how they felt. So he gathered
all the Sahaba and he said, Tell me all your opinions about what's
about to happen. This battle of beds. Of course, Abubaker stood up
almost stood up and the prophesy said, that's not really what he
wanted to he wanted to hear from the unsought. Finally, one of the
unsolved sat stood up and recognize this is what the prophet
wants to hear from us. He said, Oh, Mr. Vela, if you're worried
about us, we will not be like the bene Surah Eve who said you go in
your Lord and fight and we're sitting right here. We say go you
your Lord, and we're with you fighting Subhan Allah, so the bene
of Surah Eid. This is why so many verses are revealed about Prophet
Moses and the sons of Israel.
Because of how many examples we could take from them because the
Prophet was loaded. Saddam was bringing a new law to a new to a
to his people. He spent the first half 13 years facing an enemy.
Second half establishing the law. What it Prophet Musa had first
half fighting the Pharaoh second half establishing the law with his
people dealing with his people. Prophets I send them was very
similar. No other prophet lived like this. David and David and
Solomon they are a country was already established. Ibrahim Ali
Salam didn't have people. He only had a few followers at the end of
his life. That's it, no law, no heat, and some rituals and some
basic rules. That's it. Prophet Noah did not rule his people. So
the most parallel prophet to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
in terms of mission is Musa, the most parallel in terms of
personality. Character is Prophet Ibrahim out a synonym. And the one
that he interacts with in terms of his OMA is Prophet ASA, this
Prophet Isa becomes a member of the OMA Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam, while not losing his status as a prophet, of course,
but not acting, not acting as a Prophet from the aspect of
bringing a new law. Of course, he acts as a prophet in miracles and
those things, yes, he can. He can act as a prophet in that respect.
But in terms of bringing a new law no
