Today we have du'a number 18 from Surat
Al Qasas,
chapter 28,
ayah number
16.
And the ayah is
He pleaded my lord
I have definitely wronged myself,
so forgive me.
So he forgave him, for he is indeed
the all forgiving most merciful.
Who knows who's we talking about over here
in
this
story?
Musa, alaihis salaam.
That's the story of Musa, alaihis salaam. Let's
talk about the backstory right now.
In the ayah before, Allah Subhanahu Wa told
us what happened prior to this moment.
One day, he, Musa alaihis salam,
entered the city unnoticed by its people.
There he found 2 men fighting,
one of his own people and the other
of his enemies.
The man from his people called to him
for help
against his foe.
So, Musa punched him, caused his death.
Musa cried, this is from the shaitan
handwork or handiwork,
he is certainly a sworn misleading enemy. Let's
talk about that right now for a moment.
So, Daka Al Madinah, he entered the city,
which city he's talking about over here?
Anyone knows?
Was it Cairo,
Alexandria,
Lat Amal? Neither one of them. So, some
they say, historically, there was a city called
Manaf at that time,
and some they have other names for it.
Eventually, it's one of those cities that once
used to be part of the civilization, the
Egyptian civilization.
Now, Musa
unnoticed.
What does that mean?
Why would he be gonna be noticed anyway?
Because he grew up in the house of
the pharaoh. They used to call him the
pharaoh's son, his son.
So So, if he's gonna be coming into
a city, how would he come in?
With a big entourage.
He'd be like the pharaoh's son coming with
an entourage, so people would definitely would know
that the pharaoh is coming in or someone
related to the pharaoh is coming in,
but this time he came unnoticed.
Why they give different reasons?
They give different reasons.
One of those reasons they said is probably
because
he,
the pharaoh, he went on a journey
when Musa was not prepared or not ready
or not there. By the time he arrived,
he realized the pharaoh is gone, so he
had to try to catch up with him,
so he left without that entourage.
That's when when I one of the,
interpretations of the tafsir on the ayah.
The point is he came in
unnoticed.
So what's so special about him being noticed
anyway?
What is it will be so special about
him being noticed?
So what if he was noticed or unnoticed?
What's the difference?
People will give Musa a special special treatment
or at least they would notice him for
a special reason. What could that reason mean?
They say in the tafsir
that at some point as Musa was growing
up, he realized and he knew that he
was not an Egyptian.
He was not Coptic. He was not Egyptian.
He was from the Ben Israel.
And Ben Israel, they had different religion, different
faith. They had spirits and beyond. They believed
in Allah
so they were different.
And that's when he started believing, of course,
and following the path of his people, Bani
Israel.
And, obviously,
him to
be from
not an Egyptian,
him being
an Egyptian and actually, from Beni is not
an Egyptian.
So him growing up and now the the
pharaoh gave him status,
gave him power, gave him leverage,
so whenever he's there, people behave and they
don't mistreat the Israelis
because
Musa is there.
So, Musa can physically intervene because these are
my people.
These are my people.
And he would basically physically can intervene and
can support them and help them out. So
said, that's when he came into unnoticed,
did not really give that that attention to
his people.
He found 2 people fighting
against each other.
Hadam al Shiyati, this one from Bani Israel,
from his people, that's
from their enemies.
Now, look, Allah called them enemies from that
moment.
Why is that? Because the pharaoh made sure
that Bani Israel,
they were,
utilized as servants, as slaves
under his rule.
Why would the pharaohs
treat the Bani Israel, the Israelis, as slaves
under their rule? Why?
Anyone knows?
Because they migrate from Palestine
from the holy land Palestine into Egypt under
the rule of
Yusuf alaihi salam, who was also affiliated with
a with a state that was considered an
outsider.
Like, in Egypt at the time of Yusuf
was ruled
by arrival to the pharaohs, and the pharaohs
were pushed down into the south which is
why if you go to Egypt history right
now, you find a lot of their major
cities and graves of these kings are actually
in the south.
The north was,
at the time, ruled by a rival, nation
or people.
So,
when Yusuf came, it was under that rule.
So,
the Bani Israel,
they became servant of that government
and they became loyal to the government, so
they were in a lot of service, positions
in that area.
Obviously, when the pharaohs, they came back and
they expelled their enemies,
Bani Israel remained there.
So, since they've been the servants of their
foes, so they took the revenge on them
by enslaving them,
and that's why they were enemies in that
sense.
Eventually, why were there why these 2 people
were fighting over here? There are different reasons.
Some they
say, that man,
the the the Egyptian, he wanted this slave,
random slave from Bani Israel,
to carry firewood for him to take it
to the kitchen of the pharaoh, different reasons.
The idea they were fighting,
so the one from Bani Israel,
he noticed Musa.
He immediately recognized him and he's calling for
help.
Help me over here. Musa, help me over
here.
So, Musa came to intervene,
try to mitigate the situation.
That Egyptian was insistent because he's the man
of the land, and as with his with
that arrogance, Musa,
of course, he defined that arrogance of his.
What did he do? He pushes him. Some
some they say he punched him, some they
say he pushed him. The
word is
when you push somebody in the chest.
A leg is from the back,
but these workers, so the workers are who
pushed him. So, some they say he pushed
him, some they say he punched him. That
led to the destruction and the death of
that individual. That shows you the power of
Musa alayhi wasalam, his physical strength.
When this happened,
Musa
did not intend to kill the man.
He didn't want to be part of this
whole argument to begin with,
but eventually that's what happened.
This is from the work of the shaitan.
This is from the work of the shaitan,
like I shouldn't have gotten myself involved
in that shaitan is an
enemy
leading people astray,
he's plain enemy to me.
So, he regretted
that and because of that moment that's when
he made his dua.
Said, my Lord, I have transgressed against my
own self.
Forgive me my Lord.
Allah says and we forgive
him. Indeed, he is the All Forgiving
Most Merciful.
So, no matter how heinous the crime is,
if people come back to Allah
sincerely with their repentance, with their remorse, Allah
is willing to forgive and when Allah says
in
the
in the Arabic language, it shows how swift
that forgiveness was coming to Musa after his
call.
He said to Allah
You Allah, I transgressed against myself.
Allah
says
He swiftly forgiven which means if you come
swiftly to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Repentance,
Allah will give you as swift also acceptance
as well
and forgiveness
because he's all forgiven
the most merciful and then he said,
You Allah,
because my Lord for you for all your
favors upon me,
I will never side with the wicked.
I will never side with the wicked.
Like Musa alayhi salaam here, did he know
that Allah forgave him?
Not necessarily,
but regardless,
I did my part to seek forgiveness of
Allah Azzawajal. I acknowledge Allah's blessing upon you.
So, he said, You Rabbi,
I acknowledge the blessing you bestowed upon me
and for that I will never put myself
on the side of the wicked, which means
I'll always stand for justice.
Now, he said, Bahir al Mujrimin,
to side with the with the Mujrims which
means with the with the criminals, with the
thugs, with the wicked. Who knew? He was
he was talking about who?
The Israeli,
the man who called him to help
him. So, some of them for Syrian, they
say that's probably because this man was not
a believer,
and Allah
But the idea is that Musa says, I
will never side with the wrong one.
I will stand
with justice
with those who do well. So that's the
dua of Musa alayhi
Mimaya
Maloon.
Rabi.
