PROPHET MUSAH A. S, HIS CHARACTER AND UNIQUENESS

We seek refuge from the cursw shaitan and  start in the name of Allah
We pray that by the end of my submissions Allah will grant us the benefit out of it
Is not about listening but apply in our daily lives us well
We can't do justice to the topic without telling how he Prophet Mose was born and raised and his mission
To start with
In Islam Moses is loved n respected he is both prophet n  a messenger
Allah mention him more thanb120 times n his story ranges across several chapters
Prophet Mose is both prophet n messenger
Moses was born into one of the most politically charged times in history.
The Pharaoh of Egypt was the dominant power figure in the land
He set up class distinctions, divided the people into groups n tribes and set them against one another
The Jews and the children of Israel, were put at the lowest Level of Egyptian society they were the slaves and servants .Moses family was from among the children of Israel

Moses was born into one of the most politically charged times in history.
The Pharaoh of Egypt was the dominant power figure in the land
He set up class distinctions, divided the people into groups n tribes and set them against one another
The Jews and the children of Israel, were put at the lowest Level of Egyptian society they were the slaves and servants .Moses family was from among the children of Israel
According to Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir the the children of Israel talked vaguely about one of their nation's sons arising to wrest the throne of Egypt from Pharaoh
The people of Egypt were influence by dreams and it's interpretation
Dreams featured prominently in the story of Joseph and once again in the story of Moses the fate of the children of Israel is affected by a dream
Pharaoh dream that a child from the children of Israel grows to manhood and seizes his throne.
Pharaoh react arrogantly and give order that all male children born to the children of Israel be killed

So male children were kill one and spared the next year.
Moses mother became pregnant with the child destined to lead the the children of Israel out of bondage she conceals her pregnancy
However Allah wished to do a favour to those who are weak and oppressed and Pharaoh plans are thwarted
Allah said in the Quaran
We wished to do favour to those who were weak in the land and to make them and to make them inheritors, and to establish the in the land, and We let Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts receive from them that which they feared (Quaran 28: 5 n 6)

In summary Moses was born and Allah inspired his mother to suckle him but if she fear for him then she should cast him into the river, and fear not nor grieve verily We shall bring him back to you, and shall make one of of our messengers (28:1- 7)

He landed in the palace of Pharaoh and brought up in the palace

Allah says His promise is true

And He also the master planer what ever He what's to happened no one can stop it

Despite the actions of Pharaoh he never succeeded

Moses left Egypt to Madiyan where He received his prophecy from Allah

 The Quaran says

Allah spoke to Mose to remove his shoes for he would be standing on a sacred ground . Allah revealed to Mose that he has been chosen for a special mission and bid him to listen to what was about to be said

Surah Taha, Verse 12:
إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
 
Surely I am your Lord, therefore put off your shoes; surely you are in the sacred valley

Surah Taha, Verse 13:

وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰ
 
And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed

Any account of Moses life is filled with lessons and guidance for Moses n for mankind

Allah put him through experiences that would hold him in good stead in his mission

It tells us that what ever situation I find yourself in know that Allah has a plan for u so be patient

Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 16:
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
He said: My Lord! surely I have done harm to myself, so do Thou protect me. So He protected him; surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

He ask for forgiveness when he realizes his mistake

He acknowledge the favours of Allah

Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 17:
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ
 
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor on me, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.

He hope for the from Allah when faced with a problem

Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 22:
وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَاءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبِّي أَن يَهْدِيَنِي سَوَاءَ السَّبِيلِ
 
And when he turned his face towards Madyan, he said: Maybe my Lord will guide me in the right path. He give support to the need when he realize they need
 

Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 23:
وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِي حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاءُ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ
 
And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on it a group of men watering, and he found besides them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What is the matter with you? They said: We cannot water until the shepherds take away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is a very old man.

In fact he was patient towards the test of Allah before he become Prophet of Allah

Some of his unique qualities base on I read

1. He was a prophet n a messenger at the same time

2.He speaks and listen to Allah direct

3.Allah gave him staff which can to a serpent when he trops it

 

5. When he put his hand into the opening of his bosom it would be come forth White.

That is what i was able to search on Allah knows best

U can read more in Surah Taha and Kasus.

 I pray that Allah would accept our little effort because of His mercy not our efforts Ameen

Wasalaamu alaikum warahamatulahi wabarakathhu
