Musa peace be upon him

"And throw down your stick!" But when he saw it moving as if it were a snake, he turned in flight, and did not look back. (It was said:) "O Musa (Moses)! Fear not: verily the Messengers fear not in front of Me.

"Except him who has done wrong and afterwards has changed evil for good; then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

"And put your hand into your bosom, it will come forth white without hurt. (These are) among the nine signs (you will take) to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his people. Verily they are a people who are disobedient (to Allah).

The Signs

النمل


And indeed We punished the people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with years of drought and shortness of fruits (crops), that they might remember (take heed). But whenever good came to them, they said: "Ours is this." And if evil afflicted them, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Musa and those with him. Be informed! Verily, their evil omens are with Allah but most of them know not.

They said [to Musa]: "Whatever Ayat (proofs) you may bring to us, to work therewith your sorcery on us, we shall never believe in you."

So We sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood (as a succession of) manifest signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those people who were sinners. أعرافال


And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) nine clear signs. Ask then the Children of Israel, when he came to them, then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) said to him: "O Musa (Moses)! I think you are indeed bewitched."

[Musa (Moses)] said: "Verily, you know that these signs have been sent down by none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as clear evidence (i.e. proofs of Allah's Oneness and His Omnipotence.). And I think you are, indeed, O Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) doomed to destruction!"

إسراءال


And when the punishment fell on them they said: "O Musa (Moses)! Invoke your Lord for us because of His Promise to you. If you remove the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe in you, and we shall let the Children of Israel go with you."

But when We removed the punishment from them to a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! they broke their word!

األعراف


But when he came to them with Our Ayat (proofs, signs) behold, they laughed at them.

And not an Ayah (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow , and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allah's religion].

And they said [to Musa]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide ourselves (aright)."

But when We removed the torment from them, behold, they broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove the torment from them).

زخرفال


And Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people (saying): "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then?"Am I not better than this one [Musa (Moses)] who is despicable and can scarcely express himself clearly?"Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or angels sent along with him?"Thus he [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] befooled (and misled) his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever a people who were rebellious, disobedient to Allah.

The Rhetoric of Fir'awn

الزخرف


And nothing stops Us from sending the Ayat (proofs, evidence, signs) but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamud as a clear sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction).

اإلسراء


And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."

قمرال


And they say: "We shall not believe in you (O Muhammad), until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us;

"Or you have a garden of date-palms and grapes, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst abundantly;

"Or you cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as you have pretended, or you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face;

"Or you have a house of ornamentation (like silver and pure gold), or you ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read." Say (O Muhammad): "Glorified (and Exalted) be my Lord (Allah)! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger?"

اإلسراء


And Musa (Moses) said: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment." Allah said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way and follow not the path of those who know not."

The Du’a of Musa

يونس


And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."Then Fir‘aun (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 a 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 (Pharaoh’s people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them

The Exodus

شعراءال


So they pursued them at sunrise. And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."(Musa) said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."Then We revealed to Musa (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.Then We brought near the others [Fir'awn's (Pharaoh) party] to that place.And We saved Musa (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.

الشعراء


And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that none has the right to be worshipped but He (Allah) in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims."

Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the corrupters.

So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayat (proofs, signs). يونس


So when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah Alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as (His) partners.

Then their Faith could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like) this has been the way of Allah in dealing with His slaves. And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them).

غافر


And indeed We sent Musa (Moses) with Our Ayat (proofs, signs.), and a manifest authority,

To Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), Haman and Qarun (Korah), but they called (him): "A sorcerer, a liar!"

Verily, Qarun (Korah) was of Musa's (Moses) people, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. And We gave him of the treasures, that of which the keys would have been a burden to a group of strong men. Remember when his people said to him: "Do not exult (with riches, being ungrateful to Allah). Verily Allah likes not those who exult.

القصص


"But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the corrupters."

القصص


He said: "This has been given to me only because of the knowledge I possess." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him generations, men who were stronger than him in might and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? But the criminals (disbelievers, sinners) will not be questioned of their sins (because Allah knows them well, so they will be punished without being called to account).

القصص


So he went forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of the world, said: "Ah, would that we had the like of what Qarun (Korah) has been given! Verily he is the owner of a great fortune."

القصص


But those who had been given (religious) knowledge said: "Woe to you! The Reward of Allah (in the Hereafter) is better for those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and this none shall attain except those who are patient (in following the truth)."

القصص


So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling place. Then he had no group or party to help him against Allah, nor was he one of those who could save themselves.

القصص


And those who had desired his position the day before, began to say: "Know you not that it is Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it to whomsoever He pleases of His slaves. Had it not been that Allah was Gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up (also)! Know you not that the disbelievers will never be successful.

That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assign to those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the pious.

القصص


Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allah has the excellent return with Him.

عمران آل


Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp (a display of great splendor and magnificence) and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. (It is) as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment, and Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.


And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us (i.e. please Allah), but only he who believes (in the Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds (will please Us); as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (Paradise) in peace and security.

سبأ


Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge themWe hasten unto them with good things. Nay, but they perceive not.

[it is a Fitnah (trial) in this worldly life so that they will have no share of good things in the Hereafter]
