History and prophet

History and Ademit a.s.

We dedicate all praise and thanksgiving to the Lord of the universe, We dedicate the most sincere peace and greetings to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and all those who follow his path until the Day of Reward..

In the following lines, we will deal with the stories of the prophets of God, stories which contain many valuable messages and lessons.
Says God Almighty in the Noble Qur'an:"We will tell you (Muhamed) the most beautiful story through the revelation of this Qur'an, though you, Really, you were not aware of it before. "(Yusuf, 3)
"We are telling you their story according to the truth." (Kahf, 13)
"Tell them these events, so that they can think. ” (Purgatory, 176)
These verses speak to the importance of stories and stories. These are the methods that the exalted God has followed for the revelation of the Holy Qur'an. With such stories, God gave heart and courage to the Prophet Muhammad a.s to stand firm in the face of challenges and difficulties. They have the same impact on the generations after the Prophet a.s. Muslims have an obligation to study these events, meditate on them and draw lessons.
In the Qur'an, God has mentioned many stories about His prophets and messengers. We find some of these stories detailed, while some of them are presented to us in summary.
The prophets mentioned in the Qur'an are twenty-five. Some of these prophets are mentioned in the verse:
"This is Our argument," he said, which We gave to Ibrahim against his people. We raise whoever we want to a high degree. really, Your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. We gave him Isaac and Jacob. We guided both of them to the right path, as we had instructed Noah before. Among his descendants We guided David, Sulaiman, Ejubin, Yusuf, Musa and Harun. This is how we reward the righteous. We also guided Zechariah, Jahjain, Isa, Iljazin - all of them have been good people. As well, we also instructed Ismail, Eljesain, Yunus and Lot - we raised each of them above all the people. " (en'am, 83-86)
On the reason why the stories of the prophets are treated in detail in the Qur'an, God says:We are telling you some of the stories of the messengers, to strengthen the heart. In this surah the truth has come to you. It is a reminder and a reminder for the believers. " (Skin, 120)
For, they are to strengthen the heart of the Prophet a.s and to give him courage. They were identifiable to the truth over which people were in dilemma, as well as to correct many concepts and principles neglected over the years and centuries. The stories of the prophets also contain many advices and messages for the believers.
Says the exalted Lord:”From these messengers, we raised some of them above others. To some Allah spoke directly, while others he raised to high ranks. We gave it to Jesus, son of Mary, test (Miracles) clear and helped with the Spirit of Holiness (Xhebrailin a.s.). If Allah willed, the people who came after the messengers would not kill each other after the advent of clear evidence, but they were divided: disa besuan, while others denied. If Allah willed, they would not kill each other, but Allah does as He wills. (Baqarah, 252)
"Even before you (he Mohammed) We have started sending, for some of whom we have told you and for some others we have not told you. ” (Mu'min, 78)
These stories are mentioned in the Book of Allah, contain custom tips and are a model for anyone who reason and reason. God says about this fact:In their stories (of the messengers) there are tips for those who are wise. Ky (Koran) it is not a fictional story, but he is the confirmer of them (BOOKS) that have been proclaimed before him, is the expounder of all things and the guide and mercy for people
FAITH. (Yusuf, 111)
Such were the prophets and messengers of God. They were beacons guiding the lost to the right path and salvation. They were and remain the best role models for humans."These are them, whom Allah has guided to the right path, therefore you too (he Mohammed)follow their path.” (en'am, 90)
Since the creation of the first man on earth, God has sent prophets and messengers from time to time, to guide people to the right path. In a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad a.s, it is said that the number of messengers exceeds three hundred of them. And the number of the prophets exceeds one hundred and twenty-four thousand. To the Children of Israel whenever a prophet died, another prophet was sent to continue the mission. It even happened at the same time and in the same place, to send two prophets. They were sent by God with the tribal mission, to save humanity. Whenever mankind suffered deviations from the way of God, prophets and messengers were sent to guide them back to the right path.
While fulfilling their mission, the prophets and messengers faced many challenges and problems. Their toil and sacrifice can not be described and all this to fulfill the mission with which God had obliged them. Their existence is real, it is even a necessity and necessity for all mankind. It is inconceivable that God created the people and did not send among them prophets who draw their attention whenever they err.. This is done so that people have no reason and are not justified when they appear before God.
"It simply came to our notice then, so that you (o people) not to say on the Day of Resurrection: "We did not know that." (Purgatory, 172)
Every nation has had its prophets, this fact is also mentioned in the Qur'an:"Popull there was not a nation that did not receive a warning." (Fatir, 24)
Characteristics of the stories of the prophets
What distinguishes the stories of the prophets from other stories and narratives, is that they are real and real. They have nothing to do with stories that are the offspring of fantasy. The stories of the prophets are stories lived by mankind in different periods of time.
Another characteristic of them is that they contain many lessons and benefits. They are not stories that are read to pass the time and to have fun. Each of their stories conveys principles and concepts full of value and meaning. They are a guide for everyone, at any time and place. We must act according to the advice and messages of these wise people and distance ourselves from the mistakes and mistakes made by their peoples.
By deeply studying the stories of the prophets, we note that they form the axis of human history. All human history revolves around the prophets of God. It is true that many military commanders, many kings and emperors have played a significant role in determining the course of events in history. But the influence of the prophets in determining the course of history, it is many times larger and deeper. The history of mankind is truncated and incomprehensible if not accompanied by the stories of God's prophets and messengers. This is reinforced by the fact that today's conflicts, are conflicts between truth and perversion, among the followers of the prophets and their enemies.
Another characteristic of these stories is that they greatly facilitate the understanding of the Qur'an. If you have no knowledge of the stories of the prophets, you find it very difficult to understand the Qur'an. Many verses speak of the stories of the prophets and if I do not know the full story, you can not understand many concepts. History and Ademit a.s., Nuhut a.s, The Children of Israel, etc.… is mentioned in a considerable number of verses. Many surah names, bear the names of prophets. Based on this, one who does not know the history of the prophets, does not understand a considerable part of the Qur'an.
Approaching the stories of the prophets, we learn the methodology we should follow as we invite others to Islam. Each of us dreams of being an inviter in the way of God, to command for good and forbid from evil. In order to follow the most positive path in this regard, we need models and parables. Undoubtedly our best role model is the Prophet Muhammad a.s, which God confirms in the Qur'an where He says:”There is a wonderful example of this in the Messenger of Allah, who hopes in Allah and the Last Day and mentions Allah much. ” (Ahzab, 21)
Prophets and other messengers, rank directly after the Prophet Muhammad a.s, as models and practical examples. Companions of the Prophet a.s and learned people, come after other prophets and messengers.
In an accurate hadith narrated by the Prophet a.s it is stated:"For God! After the prophets, No one has stepped on this earth better than Abu Bakr. ”
The position and rank of the companions of the Prophet a.s, no matter how high it is, it is not on the same level as that of the prophets and messengers of God.
The stories of the prophets are mentioned in the Noble Qur'an as well as in the prophetic tradition. These two sources were inspiring to many scholars and historians, who wrote history books about the lives of the prophets. The most famous books on the stories of the prophets, is that of Ibn Kathir, which bears the name "Stories of the Prophets", books and Taberiut, Ibn Athir etc… It is precisely these references on which I have relied during my approach to these stories. New of my treat, is that I have considered all that is said about the prophets, rejecting Israeli narrations and inaccurate hadiths, relying mainly on the correct hadiths as well as the comments of the erudites of tafsir. The most frequent commentaries on verses that speak of prophets, are those of Abdullah ibn Abbas, as well as Ibn Kathir and Ibn Jarir.
"We are telling you their story according to the truth." (Kahf, 13)
"It simply came to our notice then, We're telling you (he Mohammed) some stories of the past. Ky (Koran) that we have given you, is a Tip from Us. ” (Taha, 99)
The origin of creation
After this brief introduction, let us return to history before the prophets, before the messengers of God, before the creation of man, EVEN, before the creation of the universe. Says God exalted in the Qur'an:"Allah is the Creator of everything and He is the Guarantor of everything." (Zumar, 62)
"He created the heavens and the earth in six days, then ascended the Throne. He knows what enters the Earth and what leaves it, what descends from heaven and what ascends to it. He is with you wherever you are; He sees everything you do. ” (Hadid, 4)
He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, while His Throne was above the water. ”(Skin, 7)
Imam Ahmad - may God have mercy on him - narrates that Abu Ruzayn asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):O Messenger of God!! Where did God stand before He created the heavens and the earth??”
The Prophet a.s replied:"He was standing in the void. Above Him was infinite space and below Him was yes infinite space. Then, He created His Throne on the water.
In another hadith, which is narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi and many others, Ubade ibn Samit says:The Messenger of God said:The first thing God created was a pen. He ordered it:I write!”And from that moment, the pen wrote everything that will come into existence until the Day of Judgment. ”
The pen wrote everything God dictated to him from His knowledge, which is found in Leuhi Mahfudh.
Muslim scholars have different opinions on the first thing created by God. Most of them think that the first thing is the one narrated by Amr ibnul As, which says:”God has written the fate of all creatures, fifty thousand years before he created them. then, His Throne was above the water. "
For, it is clear that God first created his Throne and then created the pen. After them were created the heavens and the earth. THEREFORE, when it is said that the pen is the first thing God has created, we mean that she is the first to have created from the things of this world.
This is confirmed by the hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari from Umran ibn Husayn who says:The Yemeni delegation told the messenger of God:"We have come to increase our knowledge of religion and to ask about the origin of creation." The Prophet a.s replied:There was only God and there was nothing before Him. His Throne was above the water. He marked in Dhikr (REMINDER) everything. Then He created the heavens and the earth. "
After God created the Throne, has created the pen, which he ordered to mark in Leuhi Mahfudh, everything that will come into existence until the Day of Judgment.
Other creatures
Concerning the creatures that followed the Throne and the pen, we possess a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad a.s which is narrated by Imam Muslim, that Aisha has said:One day the Messenger of God took me by the hand and told me:God created the earth on the Sabbath, created the mountains on Sunday, created the trees on Monday, created the evil on Tuesday, created the light on Wednesday, created the animals on Thursday and created Adam a.s on Friday afternoon (FRIDAY).”
The last creature created by God, was exactly the man. Already, Islam's attitude towards the theory of evolution is clear. Nothing has evolved, but everything is created in its form. Ademi a.s (man) was created the last day of the week and the last hour of this day.
Before the creation of man, God had created the angels (angels). God says in the Qur'an:”
"The heavens almost do not split from above (by the majesty of Allah), while the angels praise and glorify their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. ” (Shura, 5)
In an accurate hadith, The Prophet a.s says:"Angels are created from light, jinn are created from fire, and Adam was created as described. "
In turn, the creation of jinn followed that of angels. God says in the Qur'an about the creation of jinn:”while He created the jinn from the flames of fire. " (Rahman, 15)
The jinn are created from the last part of the flames of fire, from the peaks.
The fact that jinn were created from fire, accepted and satan, who told God:”You created me from fire.” (Purgatory, 12)
"And before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire." (Hixhr, 27)
Satan himself (Iblis) is of the jinn, fact which is mentioned in another verse, where God says:”except Iblis. He was one of the jinn. " (Kahf, 50)
Says Hasan Al-basrij, May God have mercy on him:"Iblis was not an angel, no matter how fast he closed his eyes."
The land which today is inhabited by humans, at that time it was inhabited by jinn. What happened is that the jinn wreaked havoc on earth, they killed and slaughtered each other and shed blood.
Ibn 'Umar and Ibn' Abbas say:The jinn existed two thousand years before Adam. They shed a lot of blood. Then the Lord sent soldiers from the angels, who drove them to the islands in the oceans. "
To this day, islands located in the oceans, are the dwellings of jinn. It is mentioned in many hadiths that Iblis has his throne above water.
The creation of man
God says in the Qur'an:"I created the jinn and men only to worship Me.” (Dharijat, 50)
In this verse, God speaks of the objective and purpose of the creation of man and jinn. Certainly God does not need our worship. He is Almighty and unnecessary for anything. He possesses beautiful names and high qualities. In order for these names and qualities to be reflected, God created man and jinn. In order for His mercy and compassion to be reflected somewhere, he created the creatures to have mercy on them. This also applies to the knowledge of God, His wisdom, power and strength.
The story of the creation of the first man, Ademit a.s, begins before its creation, with a dialogue between God and the angels.
“When your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a viceroy (who will obey the laws of God) on the ground ”, (Baqarah, 30)
According to this verse, man is the vicegerent and responsible for the well-being of life on earth. "He created you from the earth and made you to live in it." (Skin, 61)
The jinn did not have the capacity to fulfill this mission. Muslim scholars say about jinn:The wisest of them all, he has the mental capacity of a ten-year-old child. "
And God created man in the best shape and with the maximum abilities to fulfill the mission on earth. It was God who shaped man and breathed his last.
When they heard about God's plan, the angels wondered and asked:”they said: "Will you put there someone who will make a mess and shed blood on it, while We glorify you, to praise and exalt as it belongs to You?!” (Baqarah, 30)
The angels did not address this question as a sign of opposition to the creation of Adam a.s.. nothing, angels are infallible creatures and do all that God commands them. They asked this question simply to quench their curiosity.
The question that arises is: How did the angels know that man would make a mess and shed blood on earth??
They did so based on their experience with the jinn, two thousand years ago.
The cause of the question of the angels, it was something else. They feared that they had left something lacking in worship to God. They mention this clearly in words:” while We glorify you, to praise and exalt as it belongs to You?!”
God's answer was:"I know what you do not know". (Baqarah, 30)
Before such an answer, with each other the angels said:Let our Lord create whatever He wills, after whatever it creates, she will not be more privileged and more knowledgeable than we are. ”
The angels had noticed that of all the creatures created until then, heavens, the goal, plants, animals, jinn etc…, angels were the only creatures that glorified him, glorified, they thanked and obeyed the Lord. Seeing this, the angels thought the next creature, Whatever, will not be more honorable nor more knowledgeable than they.
When God created Adam a.s, created him from the dust of the ground. In a hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban, The Prophet a.s says:God created Adam a.s from a handful of earth which he took from all over the earth. Started from this, the sons of Adam a.s took the colors of the earth. Some of them were white, black, red and mixed. Just as he was meek, boyfriend, evil, difficult and mixed. ”
According to the hadith, the diversity of people's colors originates in the diversity of earth colors, from which the first man was created. This also applies to the nature and character of each of them.
The soil that was taken for the creation of Adam a.s, got wet with water and became mud. For, originally was a fist and, which got wet with water and became mud. God says on this fact:”
“When your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a man out of clay." (Sad, 71)
Water was added to the amount of soil, until the created clay became sticky. God says in the Qur'an:"We created them from sticky clay." (Safat, 11)
When the clay became suitable, God took it and shaped it with His two noble hands. This is mentioned in the Qur'an:“O Devil, What prevented you from prostrating before the One whom I created with My own hands??” (Sad, 75)
He did not force the angels to shape the first man, but he did it himself, with His hands. Clay September, was left in that form for a period of time, until he said. Pass in tha, the statue took on the color of black mud, as the color of the vortex.
In the Qur'an, times it is stated that man was created from clay, sometimes from dried clay and other times from soil. Actually, man is created from all these, but according to a chronology, where the origin was earth, White, sticky clay, dried clay.
God says in the Qur'an:"We created man from a dry clay made of formless black clay. and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire. " (Hixhr, 26)
"We created you and then We gave you the form." (Purgatory, 11)
As mentioned above, the creation of Adam a.s took place in the last hour of Friday. In addition, we want to emphasize that the days mentioned in the above hadith, are calculated quite differently from our days.
Regarding the appearance and dimensions of Adam a.s, in a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari, The Prophet a.s says:God created Adam a.s sixty long forearms. Since then, "Human size has been declining."
Except he was the first man created, Adam a.s is also the tallest man of all time. All the dwellers of Paradise, will have the length of Adam a.s.
In another hadith narrated only by Imam Ahmad, The Prophet a.s says that the length of Adam a.s was sixty forearms, and the width seven forearms. Such proportions show that Adam a.s more closely resembled a giant.
In a hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, it is said that when God shaped Adam a.s, did not equip him with spirit at once. He left it for a considerable time just like the statue. Says the Prophet a.s:When God created Adam, did he leave it in that state as much as he wanted. When he saw Iblis, began to roll around in astonishment. When he noticed that the inside was empty, The devil realized that he was a creature who did not restrain himself. "
Incontinent creature, means powerless creature. This shows that the jinn are not empty inside (stomach and lungs).
Tregon Abdullah ibn Abasi:God commanded that the earth of Adam a.s.. He created Adam a.s from sticky clay and dried clay. He shaped it with His hands and left it in that condition for forty days, body without soul. Iblis turned around and kicked him. From the blows, the statue of Adam a.s echoed. The devil was telling him:"You were created for something." Then it entered from the mouth of Adam a.s and came out from behind and addressed the angels., who were frightened when they saw him:"Do not be afraid of this! If God gives me power over him, I will destroy it. But if God gives power over me, I will oppose it. "
From the first days of human creation, the enmity between him and Satan was born.
Swelling of the soul
Everything was ready for Adam a.s. to breathe, fact which God mentions in many verses of the Holy Qur'an.
"When I shape them and blow them from My soul, you prostrate yourselves before him. ". (Hixhr, 29)
"The case of Jesus for Allah is like the case of Adam who created him from clay and then said to him:: “Be!"- and he did." (Al Imran, 59)
In a hadith, details are given of how the soul of Adam a.s was inflated. When Adam's soul entered his head, oh testtiu. The angels told him:”Say:“El-hamdulilah”. And Adam a.s said:"Al-hamdulilah." Then God, by His side he said:May your Lord have mercy on you!”
Before the whole soul is given to him, Adam a.s won the mercy and compassion of God.
When the soul entered his eyes, Adam a.s began to discern the fruits of Paradise. When the soul went to the stomach, he had an appetite for food and set out to grasp the fruits of paradise. This happened while the soul had not reached his feet. It is clear that Adam a.s had a quality, which will not be shared for life, the hurried.
God says in the Qur'an about this:"Man was created in haste." (Anbiya, 37)
After the soul penetrated to every part of the body and the creation of Adam a.s was completed, God wiped it on his back, from whence came all his descendants until the Day of Resurrection. This is mentioned as in the Qur'an, as well as in the hadiths of the Prophet a.s.
Narrated Muslim ibn Jesar, that Umar ibn al-Khattab was asked about the commentary on the verses:“When thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam their seed, and made them bear witness against themselves., u are: "Am I not your Lord??"They responded: “Po, we prove that You are. ” So did He, so that you (o people) not to say on the Day of Resurrection: "We did not know that. Or not to say: "Really, our fathers were idolaters before us, so we too are their descendants. Will you destroy us for the deeds of those who followed the deception??” (Purgatory, 172-173)
Umar replied:I heard the Messenger of God, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say::”After God created Adam, wiped his back with his right hand, removing from there all the descendants of Adam. Ai u tha:I have created them for Paradise, and the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise will work. I created them for fire, and the works of the dwellers of the Fire will work. "
A man, intervened and asked:O Messenger of Allah! Then why did I want to work?!”
The Prophet a.s replied:If God has created someone to be a dweller in Paradise, uses it for deeds of paradise, until he dies with these deeds and thus leads him to paradise. If God created someone for fire, he uses it for acts of fire until he dies with these acts and thus leads him to the fire. "Everything is facilitated in terms of purpose."
The angels bowed to Adam a.s
Since Iblis though from the jinn, had been attached to God and worshiped Him, God had united him with the angels, although it did not belong to them. He had never broken the commandments of God. For this, God had rewarded him by raising him to the angels in heaven.
After completing the creation of Adam a.s, God commanded all the angels to submit to him, as a form of reverence for him. Since Iblis was also with the angels, this order was valid for him as well.
"We created you and then we gave you the form; we told the angels:"Bow down to Adam."!"- Everyone bowed to him, except Iblis. He was not one to be humbled. Allahu tha: "What prevented you from bowing down, when I ordered you?He replied: "I am better than him. You created me from fire, and you made it out of clay. ". Allahu i tha: "It simply came to our notice then, come down from there (Paradise)! You have no right to be proud of it! get lost, Really, you are one of the trained ". Iblis said: "It gives me respite until the day when people are resurrected!” Allahu i tha: "You are one of those who have been given a deadline". Ai tha: "Because You threw me away, I will ambush people on Your straight path and approach them from the front and the back, from the right and from the left, and thus You will notice that most of them are not grateful to you!” Allahu i tha: "Get out of there despised and excluded! Without a doubt, Hell will fill you with you and all who
go after you!” (Purgatory, 11-18)
"We created man from a dry clay made of shapeless black clay, and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire. When your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a man out of dry clay taken from shapeless black clay. When I shape them and blow them from My soul, you prostrate yourselves before him. ", All the angels together bowed to him in prostration, Except Iblis. He refused to join those who prostrated. " Allahu i tha: “O Devil, What was the matter with you that you did not join the humble??The devil said: "I do not bow down to a mortal whom You have created from dry clay taken from formless black clay". Allahu tha: "It simply came to our notice then, get out of Paradise! You are really cursed! Let the curse be upon you until the Day of Resurrection. "!Iblis said:"My God, give me respite till the day they are resurrected. God said:"Of course you will be given a deadline until a certain day. Iblis said: "My God, because you led me to loss, I will adorn them (people) the wrong path on Earth and will lead everyone astray, except Thy sincere slaves ”. (Allahu) tha: "This is My straight path. Indeed, you will have no power over My slaves, except on the lost, to follow you. ” Without a doubt, Hell is the promised place for all of them. "(Hixhr, 26-43)
"When we told the angels: "Bow down before Adam", they all bowed down to him in prostration, except Iblis! Ai tha: "And?! I prostrate to whom You have created from clay?!"Also, tha: "Do you see that You honored me?? If You give me time until the Day of Resurrection, I will deceitfully cut off his seed, except for a few of them!” (Allahu) tha: "I! Whoever of them follows you, there will be Hell as a reward - a complete reward. Do it for yourself, with your voice, whom you can of them! Unleash all your cavalry and infantry against them! Share in the wealth of their children and make promises! -The devil's promises are only deceptions. " (Isra, 61-64)
It is sunnah for a person to start eating, means "Bismil-lah". This is so that Satan does not eat from his food. This also applies during sexual intercourse between spouses.
In all the above verses, the first sin is treated, with which the command of God was broken. He had not done anything before that the way of God was broken. Since the breaker of God's command was precisely Iblis, a creature whom God had honored, called him ungrateful.
“When your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a man of clay. When I shape them and blow them from My soul, bow down to him!”, all the angels together prostrated themselves, except Iblis; he became arrogant and one of the deniers. " (Sad, 71-74)
Based on this, Muslim scholars say:"The origin of all sins is arrogance and self-deception."
Given the risk of this sin, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) listed a number of hadeeths, with which he calls us to stay away from this habit.
Says the Prophet a.s:He does not enter Paradise, he who has in his heart as much as an atom of arrogance. ”
In many other hadiths, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the extension of trousers under the ankle, if done for arrogance. Says the Prophet a.s:”"God does not see a man pulling clothes as a sign of arrogance."
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) once heard Muslims bragging about the tribes to which they belonged, was called:Stay away from this, that it is something stinky!”
Tribal fanaticism, arrogance and boasting, are the origin of all other sins. So do not be arrogant with employees, servants or any other corner!
Once the soul penetrated all parts of the body, God told Adam a.s:Go to that group of angels and tell them:"Peace be upon you." (Peace be upon you). The language spoken by Adam a.s was Arabic. For, the language of the angels and the dwellers of Paradise is Arabic.
Adam a.s went to the angels and was told:As-salamu alaykum and the angels replied:"Ve alejkum salam and rahmatullah" (and peace and mercy of God be upon you).
God told him:"This will be the salutation of you and your descendants."
Adam a.s was created knowledgeable
From the first day the soul was given, Adam a.s was knowledgeable. Not as we are told today that the first man was ignorant then began to learn from experience. He learned how to light a fire, learned speech etc.… Allah created man knowledgeable and not ignorant. even, he was more knowledgeable than the angels themselves, which is mentioned in many verses and hadiths.
From day one, God taught Adam a.s the names of every thing. This is an animal, this is a bird, this is the sea, this is a mountain, etc. Abdullah This is mentioned by Abdullah ibn Abbas himself. Adam a.s learned everything that existed in heaven and earth.
In addition, God taught him all the necessary crafts, he knew how to light and take advantage of fire, worked iron and wood.
“Allah taught Adam the names of everything, then he presented himself to the angels and was told: "Tell me their names, if what you say is true!” (Baqarah, 31)
When God had declared that He would create another creature on earth, the angels had said:Let our Lord create whatever He wills, after whatever it creates, she will not be more honored and more knowledgeable than we are. ”
God told them that Adam a.s was more revered than the angels, after ordering the latter to bow down in honor. Humility in the form of reverence, previously allowed, but it is now forbidden.
In addition, was shown that Adam a.s was even more knowledgeable, for he knew the names of all things, a quality which the angels did not have.
"The Adem, - He said - show them the names of things!” (Baqarah, 33) Immediately Adam a.s began to list the names of everything.
"When he told them their names, Allahu tha:"Didn't I tell you that alone?
I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and only I know what you reveal and what you conceal.?!” (Baqarah, 33)
What the angels kept secret is their saying:Let our Lord create whatever He wills, after whatever it creates, she will not be more honored and more knowledgeable than we are. ”
As you can see, the more we delve into the details of the stories, the easier it is to understand the Holy Qur'an. Elaborating on the reasons for the revelation of the verses, many things we had before were clarified.
The creation of woman, Havasë a.s
After the creation of Adam a.s was completely completed, God created his wife Havana a.s. Hawaii was not created immediately after Adam a.s. Adam a.s lived a period of time completely alone in paradise, which made him feel lonely and upset.
One day, while Adam a.s was sleeping, God creates Havana, from a rib of the left arm of Adam a.s. Through this rib, God created the first woman, Havana a.s. Says the exalted Lord over this fact:"O people! Fear your Lord, Who created you from a single human being, and from him he created his wife. " (Women, 1)
When Adam a.s fell asleep, found a woman next to him. He asked immediately:"Who are you?She replied:"I am a woman." Adam a.s asked:Why were you created??”Hawaii in prëgjigj:"To find rest in me."
Angels, when they saw that God had created another creature similar to Adam a.s, thought to put Adam a.s to the test. Since he knew the names of everything, the angels asked him about Hava's name. so, they said:What do they call it??Ademi a.s replied:"They call it Hava." Which God had taught him.
Angels, they asked again:"Why did he get this name?"?Ademi a.s replied:"Because it was created from something living."
Imam Muslim narrates from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said::Whoever believes in God and the Day of Judgment, let him speak straight or be silent. You are instructed to treat women well, as the woman is created from a curved rib and the most curved part of the rib is its tip. If you will try to direct it, you will break it. If you leave it as it is, it will continue to bend. ”
The nature of woman is such that it is often times guided by feelings and not reason. If you try to change your behavior, which stem from her rich emotional world, you are trying to change its very nature, which is impossible. You need to be gentle and kind with your wife, not by force and coercion.
In many accurate hadiths, it is said that the wife of Ibrahim a.s, Sara, was the most beautiful woman in the world, but after Hawaii, the wife of Adam a.s. According to these hadiths, Hawaii has been the most beautiful female ever created on earth.
Vesves of Satan
Adam a.s and his wife Hawaii, lived in paradise, according to the command of God. God says in the Qur'an about this:"We said: "The Adem, live you and your wife in Paradise and eat there as much as you want and when you want, but do not approach this tree, otherwise you will become unjust ".(Baqarah, 35)
In paradise, Adam a.s and Hawaii a.s had everything secured, without fatigue and without effort.
From the beginning, God told Adam a.s about Satan, whom he labeled as an enemy of Adam a.s. This was before Satan began his vespers.
"Then we said: "The Adem, indeed this is your enemy and your wife, therefore do not let him take you out of Paradise, that then you will suffer in misery! “ Here you will never be left hungry or naked, and you will not even thirst, nor heat. ” (Maryam, 117)
For, what we are told that the first man was uncovered and later began to be covered is not true at all. God had clothed the first people since Paradise, as it teaches them how to dress as they will be placed on the ground.
“O children of Adam!, We sent you clothes to cover the shameful places, as well as for decoration. for, the garment of piety is the best. ” (Purgatory, 26)
Adam a.s and his wife did not know nudity since they were created.
Ibn Jarir and many others, narrate that Abu Musa Al-Ashari said:When God sent Adam (peace be upon him) from Paradise to earth, he learned all the crafts. ”
When Adam a.s came down and settled on earth, was knowledgeable, dressed in clothes and connoisseur of all basic crafts. What we are taught is that the first humans lived without clothes on the body, is not correct. African tribes and some other countries that lead a primitive life, not holding clothes on the body, have deviated from the pure nature with which God originally created them
In paradise, Adam and Hawaii a.s, they would feel neither thirsty nor hot. They would live in luxury living conditions, without getting tired and without being defeated.
The temptations and temptations of Satan
The temptations and temptations of Satan, God mentions them in several verses. Satan did not dwell in paradise, but was permitted by God, to enter and tempt Adam a.s.
Satan began to seduce and tempt them to eat from the tree which God had forbidden them.
"While he told Adem: "The Adem! Stay in Paradise with your wife and eat whatever you wish, but do not approach this tree, that you become wrongdoers!” (Purgatory, 19)
He was telling them that the tree that God had forbidden them, it is the tree of eternity and power. This is mentioned by God himself in the Qur'an where he says:
"The devil whispered, to reveal to them the shameful covered parts of their bodies, and it was said: "Your Lord has forbidden you the tree, just so you do not become angels or immortal. ” (Purgatory, 20)
Satan intended to lead them to sin and to break the command of God, as well as to reveal to them the shameful parts which until then they had covered.
In addition to the temptation and temptation for power and eternity, Satan even began to swear to them that he was telling them the truth.
"And he swore to them (saying): "It simply came to our notice then, I am for you an honest advisor!"And he deceived them with his cunning." (Purgatory, 21-22)
And what could he dream of more than living in paradise Ademi a.s?! Did not have everything he wanted?! Did not live in luxury and surrounded by good?! Why did he covet something that God had forbidden him??!
The moment they ate from the forbidden tree and broke the command of God, the clothes they were wearing disappeared and suddenly appeared naked.
"After they tasted the fruit, shameful places were revealed to them " (Purgatory, 23)
Once that happens, both Adam a.s and Hawa a.s were ashamed. Human nature hates nudity and does not feel comfortable. When they saw that the clothes they were wearing disappeared, like Adam a.s and Hawaii a.s, began to be covered with the leaves of the trees of paradise. "And began to be covered with the leaves of Paradise" (Purgatory, 23)
Adam a.s did not restrain himself from what happened to him and took flight, running wherever you can in paradise. In a hadith, it is said that when Adam a.s started running, God called him:"The Adem! Are you running away from Me??!Ademi a.s answers:"Yes or Zot! But it hardly came to me from You. "
The first to eat from the tree was Hawaii a.s and it was she who prompted Adam a.s to join him in this deed as well.. This is mentioned in an accurate hadith, narrated by Imam Bukhari, according to which, The Prophet a.s says:"If it weren't for Hawaii, no woman would betray her husband. ”
If it weren’t for Hawaii, Adam a.s would not have eaten from the forbidden tree.
After they had eaten from the forbidden tree, God speaks to Adam a.s and Hawa a.s:
"..And their Lord called them: "Didn't I stop that tree for you?"? Did I not tell you that the devil is indeed your open enemy?” (Purgatory, 22)
How would Adam a.s and Hawaii react?? Do not behave like the devil, insisting on their stubbornness? Already. They will not react like Satan, but they will confess the sin they have committed, with the words:"They said: “Our Lord! We have introduced ourselves into sin, THEREFORE, if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will indeed be among the losers ". (Purgatory, 23)
Both Iblis and Adam a.s broke God's command, but the difference lies that Adam a.s repented and apologized, while the devil continued with his arrogance. Muslim scholars say:"There are no serious sins if they are followed by istigfari, but not even small sins if they follow one another. ”
Placement on the ground
Even though they were humbled and remorseful for what they had done, definitely needed an attitude. How was it possible before such an easy test, surrender and follow your passions and temptations?!
"Come down! You will be enemies with each other. On Earth you will dwell and live until a certain time. You will live there, there you will die and be resurrected. ” (Purgatory, 24-25)
In other verses, God describes this moment in words:
"We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, because he was not determined. When we told the angels: "Bow down before Adam", all humbled themselves, except Iblis, who refused. Then we said: "The Adem, indeed this is your enemy and your wife, therefore do not let him take you out of Paradise, that then you will suffer in misery! Here you will never be left hungry or naked, and you will not even thirst, nor heat. ” But the devil cyti: "The Adem, Shall I show you the tree of eternity and of an everlasting kingdom??"Thus, they both, (Adam and Hawaii), ate from that tree and became aware of their nakedness, therefore they began to be covered with the leaves of Paradise. Adam disobeyed the command of his Lord, so it deviated (from the right path). then, His Lord chose him, he accepted his repentance, instructed and said: "Come down from Paradise, both of you (Adam and the devil)! You will be enemies of each other. When guidance comes to you from Me, who will follow My instruction, nor will he lose, nor will he fall into misery. Whoever turns his back on My Advice, there will be miserable life and We, on the Day of Judgment, we will raise him up blind. "(Taha, 115-124)
Thus Adam a.s came down to earth, as a consequence of breaking the command of God. After it was seen that Adam a.s had repented of what he had done, God taught him a few words, as a sign of repentance. "Ademi learned a few words (how to apologize) by his Lord, so He accepted his repentance.
These words, God mentions them in the Qur'an where He says:”
"They said: “Our Lord! We have introduced ourselves into sin, THEREFORE, if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will indeed be among the losers ". (Purgatory, 22)
Together with Adam and Havana, came down to earth and satan. Scholars have different opinions on the territory where they were originally settled, but the most reasonable opinion is that of Ibn Abbas, that says:Adam a.s settled in India, while Hawaii in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Adam went in search of her, until the two met at Arafat. From here, this place took the name Arafat (know).”
Children of Adam a.s
In a broadcast, it is said that Adam a.s lived a thousand years. According to some Israeli narratives, Adam a.s managed to see four hundred thousand of his descendants. anyhow, these are things that, according to the order of the Prophet a.s, we neither believe in them nor deny them. We believe what the Holy Qur'an states where it says:"And from these two he created many men and women." (Women, 1)
Since then humanity began to increase. Hawaii gave birth to many children. Taberiu says Hawaii gave birth to forty children, in twenty pregnancies. At every birth, Hawaii gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The first child was Kabili, whose sister was Suleiman. The last child was Abdul Mugith, while his twin sister Umul Mugith.
Mankind began to increase and their prophet was Adam a.s, who taught them the laws and norms of religion. At that time everyone was a monotheist and idolatry was not known.
Ibn Hiban narrates a hadith, that Abu Dhari asked the Prophet a.s:Who was the first messenger of God??The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) replied:”It was Ademi. " Abu Dharr asked him:He was a prophet sent?The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) replied:"Po."
Adam a.s was a prophet and messenger of God. He was created by God Himself with His noble hands and had blown them out of His spirit. To Adam a.s spoke the exalted God directly, without intermediaries, as he did with the other prophets.
Kabili and Abili
They are the two sons of Adam a.s. Kabili was a rude and tough man in character. While Abel was kind and gentle. Kabili was engaged in agriculture, while Abel took care of the cattle. Abel's profession raises the need for compassion and love for animals and livestock. Since they are not reasonable, they need care, food and water.
then, mankind needed a family code, especially in connection with the increase of humanity, knowing that they were brothers and sisters to one another. so, the law was such, that the sons of Adam a.s could marry any of the sisters, except twins. Neither Cain nor Abel was an exception to this law. According to narrations, it is said that Kabili's twin, was more beautiful than Abel's twin. Kabili wanted him to marry the twin, but this was forbidden under the laws of that time. Since Adam a.s was a prophet and messenger, there was also its legislation.
Another law, was that of the victims, cattle sacrifices. The sign that God has accepted someone's sacrifice, was to bring down a fire from heaven and burn it. The sacrifice that did not burn from the fire, was rejected by God.
When Abel wanted to offer a sacrifice, chose the best animal and slaughtered it. Kabili, on the other hand, offered a quantity of spoiled grain. A day later, the two brothers saw that Abel's sacrifice had been accepted by the Lord, had been burned by fire. He had rejected Kabili's sacrifice, was not burned. This added to Cain's hatred and jealousy for his brother. At this moment, intervenes and the devil who incites Cain to kill his brother. Murder was a new innovation for human life on earth, was the first crime to occur in history. Decided, Cain went to his brother Abel and told him he wanted to kill him. Abel, for his part he told her he would not react trying to kill her. He told him that from this deed he would gain nothing but sin and punishment.
On a dark, black night, Cain went to his brother Abel who was sleeping and with a large stone, killed him by hitting him on the head. It was the first crime in human history.
After killing him, Kabili did not know what to do with the corpse. It was the first time someone had died from humans and they did not know how to deal with the dead. THEN, Kabili carried his brother's body in his arms and transported it to another place. There, God sent two crows before Cain. The two crows began to quarrel with each other, until one remained dead on the spot. Triumphant crow, began to dig a pit with her feet. Then he pushed the dead crow towards the pit and covered it with earth.
From this event, Kabili learned what to do with his brother's corpse. He dug a pit right away, threw his brother inside and covered him with earth.
Later, Kabili regrets what he did, but did not do istigfar (did not apologize). One of the conditions of repentance (teubes) is to be accompanied by an apology (istigfar). It is not enough that after a crime and sin, to repent and feel bad. This must be accompanied by an apology from the exalted Lord.
God has recorded this event in the Holy Qur'an, where it says:"Lexoju (he Mohammed) exactly the story of the two sons of Adam, when they made of a sacrifice, one was accepted, while the other does not. One said to the other: "I will kill you anyway". The other said: "Allah accepts only from the pious. If you raise your hand to kill me, I will not raise my hand to kill you, BECAUSE, indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the universe. I prefer you to bear the burden of my sin and your sin and thus become among the dwellers of the Fire. This is the retribution of the wrongdoers. ". His self incited him to kill his brother and killed him. so, he became of the lost. Allah sent a crow to dig in the ground, to show him how to cover his brother's corpse. (Double) tha: "Woe is me!, am I not capable of becoming like this crow and covering my brother's body??!"It was made by the penitents." (maid, 27-31)
Transmeton imam Ahmedi, Ebu David, Tirmidhij etc.…, that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas said during the riots in the time of Uthman ibn Affan:I bear witness that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said::”Riots will occur (sedition). One who sits at that time, he will be better than the one who stands. ”
I asked:"What if I stay locked in the house and someone comes in and with a sword in his hand tries to kill me?", what should I do?”
The Prophet a.s replied:"Be like the best son of Adam a.s." Courses in another broadcast, The Prophet a.s says:”Be the slain son of Adam and do not become the murderous son. "
In another hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, the Prophet Muhammad a.s says:"Anyone who is killed unjustly, part of the sin goes to Adam's son, for he is the first man to invent murder. "
With the murder of his brother, Kabili invented an innovation and crime that had not been heard of until then. For this, God punished him by giving him the share of the sin of anyone killed unjustly until the Day of Resurrection.
Says the Prophet a.s:”Who invents an evil deed, he will have his sin and the sin of those who will act after him, until the Day of Resurrection. "
Cable Escape
After killing his brother, Kabili escaped, not wanting to appear before their father, Ademit a.s. Together with his wife, he settled in the fields, while other children and parents lived at the foot of the mountains.
Kabil's children and descendants were added, but in the absence of the spiritual teacher, moral degeneration began to spread among them. it, even though they worshiped one God. Since then, people were divided into two categories: The best, who lived with Adam a.s and the wicked, who lived with Kabil.
The death of Adam a.s
Adam a.s lived nine hundred and sixty years.
Actually, he had to live a thousand years, but forty years were taken away by his will. This is narrated in many hadiths narrated by Imam Tirmidhi and many others. According to Abu Hurairah, the messenger of God a.s said:When God created Adam, wiped his back, from whence came all the descendants of Adam who would come to life until the Day of Judgment. Between the two eyes of every man, there was a light. When God told Adam, he asked:"Oh my God! Who are these?!God answered:"These are your descendants." Adam a.s sees a man from his descendants, to whom he liked the light between his eyes. I surprised, he asked God:"Oh my God! Who is this?God answered:"This is a man from the last generations of your descendants. His name is David. " Adam a.s asked:"Oh my God! How much life have you given to this person?God answered:"Sixty years." Ademi a.s i tha:"Oh my God! Take sixty years of my life and give it to him!And God granted his wish. When Adam a.s turned nine hundred and sixty years old, the angel of death came to him. Knowing that his life was a thousand years, he asked the angel of death:"Do I not have another forty years left in my life??!The angel said:"Have you not given it to your son David?"?!"Because Adam a.s did not keep his promise, do not keep the promise and his descendants. Because Adam forgot, forget and his descendants. Because Adam a.s erred, his descendants are also wrong. ”
The death of Adam a.s
Among the sons of Adam a.s was also Shith, who had been born after the death of Abel. Shith, means "gift of God".
In a hadith, The Prophet a.s says:God has revealed one hundred and four leaves. Only Shith, God has revealed fifty pages to him. ”
These sheets contained laws and norms, to discipline people’s lives. Adam a.s taught his son Shith, most of the knowledge and knowledge that God had taught him. In addition to religious knowledge and sciences, Shithi taught people and various crafts, calculations of day and night and when the exalted Lord was to be worshiped.
Transmeton imam Ahmedi, that Jumretu Sadij said:I saw an old man in Medina talking. When I asked who he was, I was told that it was Ubayy ibn Kab (one of the most knowledgeable of the Companions about the sciences of the Qur'an and tafsir). Among others, ai tha:When death approached Adam a.s., told the children:"I miss the fruits of paradise."
The fruits of Paradise are similar in form to those of this world. so, there are apples in paradise, pears etc… What distinguishes them, is that the fruits of paradise do not rot, while those of this world rot. The fruits of this world have a common taste, while the fruits of paradise have unusual taste. Adam a.s wanted to eat fruits similar to those of Paradise.
Says Ubayy ibn Kab:The children of Adam a.s went to look for fruit and on the way met the angels (in human form), holding shrouds and other materials for the preparation of the deceased. The angels were told:O children of Adam!! What are you looking for?”
They responded:"Our father is ill and he asked us for the fruits of Paradise." The angels were told:"Come back, that your father's moment of death has come. "
To distinguish Hawaii, recognized and informed Adam a.s immediately. Ademi a.s i tha:Get away from me, for evil came unto me from thee. Leave me with the angels of my exalted Lord. ”
so, the angels of death took his soul, they left, they shrouded him, and link me perfume, they opened the tomb, they pardoned him and covered him. For, it was the angels who prepared the funeral of Adam a.s and buried him recently.
After burying him, the angels told the children of Adam a.s:O children of Adam!! This is how you should treat your dead. "
Adam a.s had spent his life in obedience and in accordance with the laws of God. The first time he had broken God's laws was when he ate from the forbidden tree in Paradise. For nine hundred and fifty years of life on earth, he committed no sin.
One year after the death of Adam a.s, passed away and his wife Hawaii a.s.
Moral depravity
After the death of Adam a.s, was his son Shithi, he who inherited knowledge, prophecy and power. He judged fairly among the people, although the first signs of corruption and degeneration were beginning to appear among the people of Kabul in the fields. Crimes such as murder had also spread among them. They were killing each other, but also people coming down from the mountain, by the other descendants of Adam a.s.
Such a fact is narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas, who after reading the verse:”do not reveal your ornaments, as they were discovered at the time of the lawsuit!” (Ahzab, 33), tha:The children of Adam a.s were divided into two bellies: Those who lived in the mountains and those who lived in the plains. Men living in the mountains, were handsome and handsome, while their wives were not. The wives of those living in the fields were beautiful, and their ugly husbands. Satan came to a man from the womb of Cain, in the form of a boy and asked him to serve him as an apprentice. This guy, who was in fact Satan, started teaching you how to play musical instruments. He had invented a musical instrument like the flute and with it he had made people his own. The sound of the flute had begun to be heard even by those who dwelt in the mountains, which had attracted their attention and curiosity. In addition, the people of Kabul had designated a feast day once a year. That day, they gathered and celebrated together. An important part of this holiday, was that their wives were exposed naked and in tempting attire before men. This news had reached the mountain as well, where some men had not resisted this temptation and went to see the women during the feast. One of the laws of Shith, was that all the inhabitants of the mountain were forbidden to meet and have contact with the men or women from the belly of Kabul. One of the men of the mountain, goes down to the field during the feast and enters among the people of Kabul, where it remains open-mouthed by the beauty of their wives. He turns to the mountain and tells the other men about what his eyes had seen. A good part of the men can not resist this temptation and go down to the field so that they too can see the beauty of the women of the field. Thus degeneration and debauchery began to spread among them. Moral depravity and extramarital affairs have their origin in this event. This is the commentary on the verse we mentioned above:"Do not reveal your ornaments, as they were discovered at the time of the lawsuit!” (Ahzab, 33)
Shithi, as prophet and sovereign, did everything possible to stop this debauchery and moral degeneration that had spread. Population in the field, barku i Kabilit, had begun to grow, while those on the mountain were significantly reduced.

History of the family of Imran a.s

After how many years and centuries, a good and honest family appears among the Children of Israel, descendant of Jacob and Abraham a.s. This family was that of Imran, which is also mentioned in the suras of the Qur'an. Says God exalted in the Qur'an:

"Allah chose Adam, THX, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above all people (of their time). (They were) descendants of each other. Allah hears and knows everything.” (Al Imran, 33)
Imrani, whose name is mentioned in this verse, is from the descendants and suckers of the Prophet Daut a.s. He had a daughter named Ashia, which is the sister of Mary a.s (MARY). Ashia is the wife of the Prophet Zachariah a.s and the aunt of the Prophet Isa a.s (Jesus). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) narrates about the journey of the Miraj, where among other things it emphasizes:I also passed by my two cousins (aunt boys) Jahja a.s. (John the Baptist) and Isa a.s… ”
Birth of Mary a.s
The story of Mary a.s begins with her mother who was unable to give birth. One day, she sees a sparrow feeding its young, which added to her desire to become a mother. For this, she swore that if she got pregnant and gave birth to a child, would dedicate to God and His religion.
"Remember when Imran's wife said: "My God, I have dedicated to You what is in my womb, to serve You alone; therefore, accept from me! It's you, Really, he hears and knows everything. ” (Al Imran, 35)
WHEREAS, Zechariah a.s was transferred from Damascus to Jerusalem, to serve the sanctuary. then, it had become a tradition for families to dedicate a son of the house to the services required by the Holy Land. The children were taken over by the monks, who cared, i educate, they were taught the Torah, they were trained as monks to serve in the sanctuary. Even Imran's wife, swore that if she became pregnant, the son to be born will be dedicated to the holy house. And in fact, she became pregnant, but when the baby was born it was female and not male. It was only men who devoted themselves to the service of the holy house, while women were excluded.
"And when she was born, tha: "My God! I was born female, - Allah knows best what she was born with, "And a man is not like a woman." (Al Imran, 36)
WHEREAS, Imran himself, father of the newborn Mary, was the chief monk of the Holy house in Jerusalem. His wife consulted with Imran about her oath. Ai i tha:As long as you swear that you will dedicate yourself to the service of the Holy House, so let it be, even though she is female. ”
In the words "and the male is not like the femaleGod seeks to exalt the image of this woman, Merjemes a.s. The man that Imran's wife had dedicated to the Holy House, even if he were born, would not enjoy the status and greatness of Mary a.s.
I named her Mary and left her and her offspring under Your protection from the accursed devil. ". (Al Imran, 36)
Says the Prophet Muhammad a.s:Every baby born to the children of Adam is teased by Satan with his finger. The exception was Mary, Imran's daughter and her son Isa. " (Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmedi etj…)
"God accepted it (Maryam) with pleasure, made it grow well " (Al Imran, 37)
so, Mary has been fully committed to the service of the Holy House since she was a baby.
It had become a tradition, since a baby was brought to the Holy House, to then serve the Holy House, it was handed over to one of the monks to care for and educate him. When Mary arrived, each of the monks wanted to take it for himself. Usually, when everyone wanted to get a baby, they prayed to God to inspire them as to who deserved it most. so, God inspired them in various ways as to who the guardian should be. This did not happen in the case of Mary. Seeing Zechariah's insistence on taking Mary into his custody, they decided to throw pens in the stream of water. If during the course, someone would show some miracle to the pen, he deserved Mary's guardianship. When thrown into the stream of water, all the pens followed the flow, and that of Zechariah split in the opposite direction. It was a miracle that Zechariah a.s took him into his care. Something like this is also mentioned in the Qur'an, where God says:"You were not present when they drew lots as to which of them would take care of Mary, and you were not present when they were arguing." (Al Imran, 44)
It was a miracle what happened to Zechariah's pen, but it is also a miracle that God mentions this event in the Qur'an, in the mouth of his last messenger, the Prophet Muhammad a.s.
"God accepted it (Maryam) with pleasure, made it grow well " (Al Imran, 37)
Mary enjoyed good health, as she grew and developed faster than her peers. When the prophet Isa a.s was born, she was fifteen years old, but that in appearance she looked like an experienced woman.
In the Holy House, she was completely devoted to worship and daily services. God had given him some miracles, as a reward for her dedication and devotion.
"And left him under the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered her room, he found food next to her and asked her: “O Mary! Where does this food come from?She replied: "This is from Allah, that Allah provides for whomever He wills, Unlimited". (Al Imran, 37)
It is said that Zechariah a.s found in Mary's room not only different foods, but found in winter fruits that ripen in summer and vice versa. From an early age, miracles appeared to her.
(Remember) when the angels said: “O Mary! Allah has chosen you, he has purified you and preferred you over all the women of the world. ” (Al Imran, 42)
“Messiah, and son of Mary, is just a messenger. Messengers also passed before him. "His mother has always been right." (maid, 75)
In a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari, Muslim etc.…, the Prophet Muhammad a.s says:The best woman on earth is Mary, the daughter of Imran. The best woman on earth is Khadijah, Huwaylid's daughter. "
In another hadith, The Prophet a.s says:From the women of the earth, suffice it to mention four:"Mary, the daughter of Imran, Assistant, Pharaoh's wife, Hadixhen, the daughter of Huwaylid and Fatima the daughter of Muhammad. "
Of these quarters and of all the women of the world, Mary definitely takes first place. She is followed by Fatima, daughter of the Prophet a.s, then Khadijah the daughter of Huwaylid and finally Asia, Pharaoh's wife.
Zechariah a.s wishes to have a child
Seeing the miracles happening to Mary, even Zechariah a.s began to nurture the desire to become a father. At this time, he was one hundred years old and was deprived of having children. The wife herself was ninety-nine years old. He began to pray to the Lord, to give him a child. These prayers are recorded by God in the Qur'an:
This is the story of your Lord's mercy to His servant -
security as.
“When he cried to his Lord in secret prayer (saying):"Oh my God! My bones are already weak, my head shines with gray and I have never been disappointed by my prayer for You, Oh my God! I'm scared (behaviors of) my relatives after me, - from the behavior of his relatives, he feared that they would not devote themselves to the service of the Holy House and abandon the religion - while my wife is beronjë; therefore, give me a descendant from You, to inherit me and Jacob's family. Oh my God, make it likable (for you)!” (Maryam, 2-6)
The exalted Lord accepted his prayer, which is also stated in the Qur'an:
"We responded to him and gave him Yahya, making his wife FIT (for birth).” (Anbiya, 90)
Tregon Abdullah ibn Abasi:May God accept his prayer, Zacharias' wife was menstruating. " even though he was ninety-nine years old.
also, she was known as a talkative and uneducated woman. After accepting Zechariah's prayer, God took away these vices too.
Even the angels themselves congratulated Zechariah a.s for the son he would give birth to. God says in the Qur'an:
“O Zechariah, We are giving you the good news of a boy to be named John. We have not given this name to anyone before ". (Maryam, 7)
For, even the name was given to this boy. He was a name not previously known, which is also mentioned in the verse.
Zechariah a.s wondered if she would give birth to a son at this advanced age, while his wife was also sterile, incapable of giving birth.
“Yes: "Oh my God, how can i have a son, when my wife is beronjë and I have reached deep old age?!I said: This is what your Lord has said. This to me is easy. I created you before, while it did not exist ". (Zechariah) tha: "Oh my God, give me some sign!” - He asked God for a sign to understand that his wife is pregnant. also, asked for a sign that the Children of Israel would understand that this child would inherit his knowledge - Ai tha:"Your sign will be that you will not be able to talk to people for three nights, although you will be healthy. ” (Maryam, 8-10)
The sign was like that, that although there was no physical illness, Zechariah a.s would not be able to speak for three days in a row. He could communicate with people only by gesturing and moving his lips. It is said that when it came to worship and exaltation of God, he spoke and was heard. But when he wanted to talk to people, he got stuck and it was impossible. This lasted for three days.
"He came out of the shrine before his people and signaled to them to praise Allah morning and evening.!” (Maryam, 11)
In some other verses in the Qur'an, God speaks in more detail about Zechariah a.s and his prayer for son.
"Then Zechariah prayed to his Lord and said:: "My God! Give me from you a good offspring! It's you, Really, you are the Hearer of prayer!And while praying on foot, in the shrine, the angels called to him (Surelyan): "Allah gives you the good news of Yahya, who will prove the Word of Allah (Isain a.s.), will be a noble, chaste and prophet, one of the best ". (Al Imran, 38-39)
For, except Jahjas, The Lord told him that another prophet would come, Isai a.s, where John will trust and follow him.
“Chaste”I.e. not going to get married, although he is capable of it. Some scholars think that Jesus (pbuh) was incapable of marriage, but this is not true.
“O Jahja, grab the Book (Teuratin).And We, when he was still a child, We gave him wisdom. ”(Maryam, 12)
Since childhood, Yahya a.s was wise and did not waste time. In a hadith, it is said that peers told him one day:"Come play with us."!”Ai ua ktheu:"We were not created to play."
Concerning some of the virtues and qualities of Yahya, says God in the Qur'an:“Gentleness from Us and chastity. He was a devout believer and kind to his parents, was not harsh and disobedient. Peace be upon that day when he was born, the day he dies and the day he is resurrected. "(Maryam, 13
Scholars say peace is mentioned, as there are three moments when man needs it most, East, death and the day of resurrection.
In a hadith, it is said that Isa a.s met Yahya and told him:Ask God for forgiveness for me, for thou art better than I!Jahja returned it:"Already, you apologize to me. You are better than me. ” Isai a.s i tha:"Already, you are the best. I have greeted myself, and God Himself has greeted you. ”
Yahya had been greeted by God himself in the verse:”Peace be upon that day when he was born, the day he dies and the day he is resurrected. "(Maryam, 13
Whereas Isa a.s greets himself in the verse:”May peace and salvation be upon me, on the day I was born, in the day that I shall die, and in the day that I shall rise again!” (Maryam, 33)
Undoubtedly this is from the modesty of the Prophet Isa a.s, as all scholars have the unanimous opinion that he is better than Yahya a.s.
Says the Prophet Muhammad a.s in a hadith:"There is no one who has not made a mistake, or wanted to make a league, besides John the son of Zechariah. It's not for anyone to say that I am better than Yunus ibn Meta. ”
Many narrations mention the fact that Yahya a.s was guarded and chaste from evil deeds.
The murder of Jahja a.s
Zechariah and his son John continued the mission of the prophets among the Children of Israel, advising and guiding them towards faith and moral values. Political power at that time was in the hands of a tyrannical king, wicked and immoral. As is the case with many rulers in Islamic countries today, even this king, ostensibly manifested respect and reverence for Zechariah, Jahjan and the learned men of the religion.
One day, this king expresses the desire to marry his nephew. His own niece liked this, as she would become queen. Many hadiths say that this girl was immoral. For this, she also had the support of her mother. All this, even though they knew that their religion forbids marriage between his uncle and niece. The king wanted to make an exception for his case and asked Yahya a.s to allow him to marry his niece. When he heard their request, Yahya a.s delivered a sermon in front of all the people, where he declared and once again the prohibition of the marriage of the uncle with his niece. it, in order that if the king marries, people to realize that he has violated a sacred law.
This behavior greatly angered the king, just as he angered his niece. If they were to get married, this would provoke strong reactions in the population. so, the king abandoned the idea. But his granddaughter did not relinquish the queen's throne. One night, he began to sing about the king and to dance. The king asked him to go to bed, but she refused saying:"Only after we get married." The king said:And how to get married, while Jahja has forbidden this?!She replied:"Bring Jahja's head to me as a wedding gift and we will put an end to this issue."
So much was given to her, so much so that he immediately ordered the soldiers to bring Yahya's head. Immediately the soldiers marched towards the shrine of Yahya a.s, who in those moments was praying. They beheaded him and brought him to the king in a pan. He took the head of Yahya a.s, handed it over to his niece and so they got married.
This was a trial of the Lord to his prophets. The head of a prophet, given as a marriage gift to a naughty woman. Hence the Prophet Muhammad a.s says:"Man will be tested according to his faith."
The murder of the prophet Zechariah a.s
After killing Jahjan a.s, the soldiers - by order of the king - set out for another mission, the murder of Zechariah a.s. In many broadcasts, which are not accurate, but because they are numerous we are mentioning them, it is said that Zechariah a.s hid in the trunk of a tree. When the tree closed, the devil held out a piece of Zechariah's clothes. When the soldiers reached the tree and did not find it, the devil appears to them in human form and tells them:"Do you not see his clothes inside the tree?"? Saw the tree to kill it!Thus was killed the Prophet Zakariya a.s both honored prophets.

The story of the Prophet Lut a.s

The events of the history of Lut a.s, developed during the life of the prophet Ibrahim a.s, who was the uncle of Lut a.s. Lut's father was called Haran and he was the brother of Ibrahim. so, Luti a.s. is the son of the brother of Ibrahim a.s. The name of the prophet Lut a.s, it is mentioned in the Qur'an twenty-seven times, in fourteen surahs. Since his father had died at a young age, Luti a.s. grew up in his grandfather Tarih's house, with uncle Ibrahim a.s. He was very close to Ibrahim a.s. When Ibrahim, peace be upon him, was thrown into the fire and it did not burn, none of the people believed him. The only one who believed him was precisely Luti a.s. This fact is also mentioned by God in the Qur'an, where it says:"Lut believed him” (survey, 26)

When Ibrahim a.s. decided to move from Babylon, Luti a.s. was also attached to him, i cili tha:"I will exile to my Lord; Really, He is the Almighty and the Wise.” (survey, 26)
As we mentioned in the story of Ibrahim a.s, Luti was sent to the village of Sedom. This settlement is located near the Dead Sea, which today is also known as the sea of ​​Luti. In addition to being a powerful business center, this settlement was an important rest stop for all travelers and caravans. The inhabitants of this city were disbelieving and depraved. God mentions in the Qur'an the words of the angels sent for the destruction and punishment of this city and says:"We took out all the believers who were in that city, although we found only one Muslim house there." (Dharijat, 35-36)
Only the house of Lut (peace be upon him) were believers, while all others unbelievers. As if that wasn't enough, they were very depraved and degenerate people, which they had turned into art. Their insolence had not been acted upon by anyone until then. They were the first to do such indecent and shameful things.
"Remember the words of Lut, who said to his people: "Why do you do such insolence that no one has done in the world?”. You approach men with lust – instead of women. Really, you are a people who overdo evil!” (Purgatory, 80-81)
The origin of homosexuality is precisely in this immoral people. Many people today tend to present homosexuality as something natural, as a feeling that arises at the birth of man and that exists in his genes. Of course, this is not true at all. He is nothing but perversity and deviation from pure nature. If it were something that is born with man and exists in his genes, it would have spread since before the people of Lut a.s.
“(From issues related to Monotheism) STRESSED: "We have been sent to an evil-doing people (to destroy everything), except for Lut's family. We will save them all." (Hixhr, 58-59)
Luti a.s u used to say:
"Is it?, right, from all over the world, approach the men and leave your women aside, which your Lord has created as wives for you?! Unanimously, you are a people who cross every limit of evil.”(Furkan, 165-166)
In many verses, The exalted God presents such an act in the most ugly and disgusting form.
"When Lut said to his people: "Why do you do evil and shameful deeds?, even in each other's eyes?” (moist, 54)
Their impudence had crossed all limits, that men practiced homosexuality openly.
"Is it?, don't you approach men lustfully, instead of women? Indeed, you are an ignorant people." (moist, 55)
Such a language, God has not used it for any other people. In the Qur'an, The people of Lut (a.s.) are described by different nicknames: unbelieving, If Satan is mentioned, waster, promiscuous, aggressors and transgressors of every border, jahile etc...
"When Lut said to his people: "It simply came to our notice then, you do such bragging, which no one before you has done in the world: have sex with men, shut up their wells and in your gatherings do the dirtiest work.” (survey, 28-29)
Whenever they gathered and assembled in one place, they practiced the most evil and shameful deeds. They had not lost all norms of morality and decency, so that in their gatherings, they laughed and joked with each other's gas.
Found in such a situation, Luti, peace be upon him, began to invite them and advise them to distance themselves from such acts. God says in the Qur'an:"The people of Lut called the messengers liars. Remember when their brother - Luti, u are: "Is it?, do you not fear Allah?? Without a doubt, I am your trusted messenger, therefore, fear Allah and obey me! For this, I do not ask you for any reward, only the Lord of the worlds will reward me.” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 160-164)
They are almost the same words and advice of other prophets, that they directed to their peoples. The people of Lut (peace be upon him) answered him:
"..his people had no other answer, except that he said: "Bring us Allah's punishment, if you're telling the truth"! (survey, 29)
The same answer was given by the peoples of the previous prophets.
"Actually, Lut warned them of the power of Our punishment, but they questioned the warnings.” (Room, 36)
"The answer of his people was: "Evict them from your residence! They are people who want to stay chaste.” (Purgatory, 82)
All the people of this town, they were wicked and degenerate, except for Lut and his two daughters. Seeing that Luti a.s. and his daughters, were chaste and moral, they decided to drive them out of their city.
"They said: "If you do not withdraw from these, o Clay, you will surely be expelled". Ai tha: “I really hate what you do!” (Furkan, 167-168)
THEN, Luti a.s in lut:”Oh my God, save me and my family from what they do!”(Furkan, 169)
Since he started to lose hope, as they threatened him that if he talks to them, they will expel him, Luti, peace be upon him, locked himself in the house where he began to pray. He had no one to help and support him in that city, as he was a newcomer.
“Yes: "Oh my God, help me against the wicked people"! (survey, 30)
The exalted God accepted Lut's prayer and immediately sent his angels, Jibril a.s, Michael and the angel of death. Initially, these three angels, they stopped at Ibrahim a.s, to give him the sihariq of the birth of Isaac, peace be upon him. During the stay, Ibrahim a.s asked them:”Ai i pyeti: "What is your purpose?, O messenger?"They said: "We have been sent to an evil-doing people, to throw stones of baked clay on them, recorded in your Lord, for those who cross the border (in bad)”. (Dharijat, 31-34)
"And, after Our messengers brought good news to Ibrahim, they said: "We will exterminate the residents of this settlement, for its inhabitants are truly evil-doers". (survey, 31)
Ibrahim a.s. immediately thought of Luti a.s, who dwelt precisely in Sedom. Wanting them not to destroy that people, Ibrahim a.s. started delaying them with words. Ai i pyeti:"Would you destroy a nation?, among whom are found three hundred believers?” The angels answered:"No." Ibrahim a.s asked them:"What if there were two hundred believers?” The angels answered:"No." Ibrahim a.s asked them:"What if there were forty believers, would you destroy it??” The angels answered:"Already, we would not destroy it." Ibrahim a.s asked them:"What if there were fourteen believers?” The angels answered him:"No." Ibrahim, peace be upon him, asked them for the last time:"What if there was only one believer?!” The angels answered:"Even if there is only one believer, we don't destroy it." Then Ibrahim, peace be upon him, said:"Know that among that people is Lut who is a believer."
Something like this is briefly mentioned in the verse:"Ai (Ibrahim) tha: "But Luti also lives there!"They said:"We know better who is there. We will save him and his family, except his wife: she will stay with those who will remain (to be punished)”. (survey, 32)
"After Ibrahim's fear passed and the happy news came to him, he argued with Our messengers about the people of Lut. really, Ibrahim was gentle, compassionate and constantly returning (tek Allahu).(Skin, 74-75)
All this time, Ibrahim (pbuh) wanted to turn the angels' minds so that they would not punish the people of Noah (pbuh). Yes, God intervened and told him:”O Ibrahim, avoid it! Really, came the order from your Lord and they will find the inevitable punishment." (Skin, 76)
The three angels, in Sedom
After the meeting with Ibrahim a.s, the three angels headed for Sedom. There, they appeared as three very handsome young men. This was done to test these people and to prove their wickedness and iniquities. God had commanded them not to destroy it, until they heard the testimony of the prophet of this people. When the three angels in the form of youths, they arrived near the city, saw one of the daughters of Lut a.s, which had gone out to fill water. She asked them to wait where they were and ran to her father, to whom he told that he had spotted three young and handsome young men who were not from Sedom. Luti, peace be upon him, left the house and went to meet the three young men. He asked them why they had come to that city and the young men told him that they had come as friends. Luti a.s. wanted to ask them not to enter that city because of the perversity of its inhabitants, but when they told him they were friends, it was difficult to expel them. He took them with him to his house and on the way, began to tell them about the perversity and iniquities of the inhabitants of Sedom, but this indirectly. By God - he said - I do not know people on the face of the earth, worse than these. The angels did not speak but continued on their way. Luti, peace be upon him, repeated this to them again, wanting to tell them to go back as the consequences could be fatal. He repeated this to them four times, while the angels recorded this testimony of the prophet Lut a.s. Upon reaching home, Luti a.s i futi brenda. The wife of Lut (peace be upon him) was an unbeliever, he even participated in the iniquities of Sedom. Upon seeing these three young men, she went to the place where the people were gathering and told them:"There are three boys in our house, more graceful than they have ever laid eyes on me.”
When people find out about this, they ran towards the house of Lut a.s.
This moment is described by the exalted God in the Qur'an where he says:"His people, that he had done bad deeds before, rushed towards him.” (Skin, 78)
"The people of the city came to him with all joy." (Hixhr, 67)
Luti, peace be upon him, left the house, wanting to protect them and addressed the people:”(Luti) tha: “O my people, these are my daughters. - every prophet considers the women of the country where he lives, like their own daughters. This is the right opinion of the majority of scholars. Those who think that Luti a.s. offered them to have extramarital relations with his daughters, he was seriously mistaken. How can Luti, peace be upon him, do this?, who was a prophet of God?! – They are cleaner for you, fear Allah and do not embarrass me in front of my guests. Is there not a sensible person among you??"They said: "You know we have no right to your daughters. Indeed, you know what we want". Ai tha: "If only I had FORCE (to expel you) or lean on some mighty arm!” (Skin, 78-79)
Luti a.s. had no people and relatives in that place. The only people who obeyed him were his two daughters. His wife was also an unbeliever.
In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad a.s says:"May God have mercy on my brother Lut. He needed support and a strong arm." (Bukhari and Muslim)
Muslim scholars say:"every other prophet, God sent him with support and relatives."
"The inhabitants of the city came to him with all joy. Luti u tha: "These are my guests, so don't embarrass me! Fear Allah and do not humiliate me!"They said: "Didn't we stop you from hosting guests??” (Hixhr, 67-70)
The people of Sedom had forbidden him to advise them and had forbidden him to receive guests and friends.
“Yes: "Here are my daughters! If you want to do what you intend (marry them)”. (Hixhr, 71)
"I swear on your life (he Mohammed), that they were really haunted in their drunkenness!”(Hixhr, 72)
Commentators of the Koran say:"God has never sworn in someone else's life, except for the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.”
Lust had clouded the reason of the inhabitants of Sedom and they looked like they were drunk. In a moment, people tried to enter Lut's house by force, but he asked them for one last chance, to wait a little. Luti, peace be upon him, entered the house, to mourn the trouble of these three young men. When he entered, he found them as calm as if they knew nothing. Surprised by this behavior, Luti a.s u tha:
"Oh yes: "I don't know you!"They said: "Already, we have brought it, in which they doubt, we have brought you the truth, so be sure that what we tell you, will be." (Hixhr, 62-64)
"When Our messengers (angels) they went to Luti, he worried and narrowed (for those, because he could not protect them). They told him:"Don't be afraid and don't worry! We will save you and your family, except your wife. She will remain with those who are for punishment. Indeed, We will send down punishment from heaven, on the inhabitants of this settlement because they are corrupt". (survey, 33-34)
"They said (GUEST): "O Clay! We are the messengers of your Lord. They can do you no good, set out with your family late at night and let none of you look back, except your wife. He will be hit by what will find them too." (Skin, 81)
The wife of Lut (pbuh) would be punished along with other people, just like it happened with Noah's wife before. "Allah has set an example for those who do not believe, Noah's wife and Lot's wife. They were married to two of Our honest servants and betrayed them.” (do not leave me alone that You are the best heir, 10)
All interpreters of the Qur'an have a unanimous opinion, that the betrayal of the two wives of the prophets is the betrayal of faith and not honor. It is unacceptable for the families of God's prophets for such things to happen. The wives of the prophets, even though they may not be believers, they do not violate their husbands' honor. Although Lut's wife supported people in evil deeds, she herself did not practice wickedness.
People waiting outside, out of impatience they decided to kick the door, but in an instant Jibreel (peace be upon him) comes out and blinds their eyes with a blow. God says in the Qur'an:"They asked him to hand over his guests to them. But We blinded their eyes (we told them): "Taste My punishment, now that you have heard My warning!” (Room, 37)
STILL, people did not remember and remembered that Luti a.s. did some magic. That's why they started with threats and blackmail, telling:"We will see this work tomorrow!” They made their way back home, leaning against the walls.
The angels told Lut a.s:”Their deadline is the dawn of day. perhaps, is not the dawn of day near??!” (Skin, 81)
The angels left the dawn of the next day as the final moment of punishment, in order for Luti a.s. and his daughters to have time to leave.
"You set off with your family late at night and none of you look back,
"Leave with your family at a time of night, go after them and let none of you look back, but proceed in the direction commanded! And We revealed to him what it will resemble: that all his people, until tomorrow, it would disappear at dawn.” (Hixhr, 65-66)
“And We saved him and his family – all of them, except for an old woman (Lut's wife), which remained with the others. then, others we destroyed." (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 170-172)
“We sent a storm of stones upon them, removing Lut's family, that we rescued at dawn. thanks to Our mercy. And, thus We reward those who give thanks.” (Room, 34-35)
Luti, peace be upon him, left the city of Sedom, accompanied only by his two daughters. Tomorrow, with the coming of dawn, the punishment of this wicked and depraved people begins. God says in the Qur'an:”the next morning, eternal punishment struck them. "Taste My punishment, now that you have heard My warning!” (Room, 38-39)
Jibril, peace be upon him, put his arm under the city, lift it up into the sky, so that the angels heard the crowing of the cocks and the barking of the dogs. The people themselves heard the exaltation and magnificence that the angels did to God. During the time the whole city was up in the sky, rocks started falling from the sky. Each of the inhabitants was hit by a rock marked out just for him. Then Jibreel (peace be upon him) let out a terrifying scream, from which all the inhabitants lose consciousness. This was followed by the overturning of the city and the crash to the ground. This is also mentioned in the Qur'an, where God says:
"When Our command came, We turned everything upside down, – those that were above, We turned them down and threw stones of baked clay on them, constantly falling, like rain. (They were stones) noted (for punishment) to your Lord. Punishment is not far from the wrongdoers.” (Skin, 82-83)
"They were seized by the terrible voice (of Gabriel) when the Sun was born, and We turned the city upside down, raining on them stones of baked earth.” (Hixhr, 73-74)
"We fired a barrage of stones at them. Eh, how bad was that rain, for those who have been warned! certainly, there is advice in this, but most of them are not believers. Indeed, Your Lord is All-Mighty and All-Merciful.” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 173-175)
"that He destroyed even the overthrown cities (of the people of Lut), which were covered by what covered them?! then, what gift of your God do you doubt?? Ky (Prophet) it is warning like the previous ones. Doomsday is approaching.” (Najm, 53-57)
So Sedom was finally punished and destroyed, which was located near the dead sea. It has remained a sign and fact for all people to beware of God's punishment, to avoid evil deeds, where among the most dangerous is what the people of Lut a.s. did.

The story of Prophet Musa a.s

One of the most remarkable and magnificent stories narrated by the Noble Qur'an, it is that of the prophet Musa, peace be upon him, one of the five appointed messengers. The story of this legendary prophet is mentioned in seventy-three places in the Koran.

While collecting the events and arranging them, I encountered many difficulties. it, since all those who had written and commented on the history of Musa a.s, did not follow a precise chronological order of events. But even when they follow a precise chronological order, they share Israeli stories, straying from the heart of the story. These stories are fine and should be kept away from the stories of God's prophets, in order to understand the Holy Qur'an as correctly as possible.
Throughout my work on this story and others, I tried to connect the events with the noble Quran, as it constitutes the original reference for such stories. He is the truth that is in no way affected by injustice and vanity.
We are required to read and experience the noble Qur'an. Experiencing the Qur'an happens when we read it with devotion and meditate on what we read. If you read but do not understand what you read, it is also impossible for you to devote yourself and meditate on the concepts mentioned in the Koran. For this, in the story of Moses, I have mainly referred to the Qur'an, in order to make it easier for us to understand it.
“It's ok for me. These are the verses of the clear Book! We will tell you part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh, as it really was, for the people who believe." (Who am I, 1-3)
The verses of the Qur'an contain reminders and advice for believers, and for the unbelievers who deviated from the path of God, contain warnings.
Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, was honored by God, after speaking to him directly and without an intermediary. Says the exalted Lord:"Tell in the Book also about Moses! Unanimously, He was chosen was a messenger and a prophet. (Maryam, 51)
Musa, peace be upon him, was chosen by God and in His service, away from the temptations and temptations of Satan.
Musa (PBUH) was the son of Imran, biri i Even, biri i Lavit, son of Jacob, son of Ibrahim a.s.
The night he ascended into heaven, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, also met with Musa, peace be upon him, which he describes:"Moses, peace be upon him, was very dark-skinned and handsome..."
Regarding his physical strength and power, it is said to have been equivalent to that of ten men. also, it is said that Musa (peace be upon him) suffered from stuttering.
The pharaoh also mentions this fact, who addresses the counselors by stigmatizing Musa a.s:”perhaps, am I not better than this wretch, which can hardly be expressed?” ("We found our ancestors in this religion and we are following in their footsteps, 52)
STILL, this flaw did not prevent him from being chosen as God's messenger and prophet, even be ranked among the five established messengers.
Even Musa himself admits this flaw in his speech, where he says in a verse:
"My brother, Aaron, is more eloquent than I am in speech.” (Who am I, 34)
Children of Israel (Yakub a.s) moved from Palestine and settled in Egypt, in the time of Yusuf a.s. Historians say that when they entered Egypt there were only thirty-six people. During their stay, they increased and multiplied, that when they left Egypt with Musa a.s, there were six hundred thousand souls.
The ruler of Egypt at that time was called pharaoh, as Nejhashij the ruler of Abyssinia was called, Caesar the ruler and sovereign of Rome and Kisra the ruler of Persia. The pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time of Yusuf a.s. was called Rayjan ibn Walid. Even though he knew that Yusuf a.s. did not have the same religion, he was even a foreigner, he had given him a free hand to administer his kingdom, as he had faith in the abilities of Yusuf a.s. During the life of Yusuf a.s, the children of Israel lived as kings in Egypt.
After the death of Pharaoh Rejjan, Kabus ibn Musab came to the throne, who is known as a tyrant and a kafir. He behaved very badly with the children of Israel, whom he mistreated and oppressed. After Pharaoh Qaboos, Walid ibn Musab came to the throne, his brother, whose wife was Asiya bint Muzahim. Says the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, about Asia:"Many men have perfected their eyes, but of the women only four have been perfected:"Asia, Pharaoh's wife, Maryam bintu Imran, Khadija bint Huwaylid and Fatima bint Muhammad.”
Initially, the pharaoh wanted to take her by force as a slave, but her father opposed her on the pretext that she was young. Faraoni i tha:"Already, it's not small." Asiya's father told her:"Then give the wedding gift!” and Pharaoh agreed. The father went to Asija and told her:"Pharaoh wants to marry you." Asia asked him:"How can I marry a kafir??!” The father answered:"Then you will kill yourself and your family."
This made Asia agree to marry the pharaoh, after she had refused to go to him as a slave. Even though he lived with the kafir pharaoh, she was a believer.
Pharaoh Walid ibn Musab was a tyrant in every sense of the word. His atrocities were countless, that he began to claim that he was a god.
“O pari! I do not know that for you there is another god besides me!” (Who am I, 38)
“I am your supreme lord!” (The Nazis, 24)
so, he claimed to enjoy divine qualities, like those of the exalted and Almighty God.
"We will tell you part of the story of Moses with Pharaoh, as it really was, for people who believe. Indeed, Pharaoh was magnified in the Earth and had divided its inhabitants into groups; he haunted some of them, killed their male children, while he left the women alive. He has been truly evil.” (Who am I, 3-4)
He had divided the Egyptians into classes, where the lowest layer were precisely the children of Israel, whom he had transformed into his slaves. He used them in the most difficult jobs, while he used women as his slaves.
The children of Israel were waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy according to which someone from the Pharaoh's family would appear who would save them.. Some think that the Pharaoh himself saw this prophecy in a dream. He had seen a great fire coming out of Jerusalem and reaching Egypt, where everything burned except the area where the children of Israel lived. Immediately he had gathered soothsayers and sorcerers to realize this dream. They told him that according to the dream, a baby will be born to the Children of Israel, who will destroy the power of Pharaoh.
Immediately, he issued a decree according to which every male infant born to the Children of Israel was to be killed. then, Harun was born and escaped this decision. And his mother, was pregnant with Musa a.s.
By order of the pharaoh, pregnant women were to be left alone until they gave birth. If they were born male, newborns were executed instantly, otherwise not.
"killed their male children, while he left the women alive.”(Who am I, 3-4)
Pharaoh sent midwives to the quarters of the Children of Israel, to check pregnant women and those who have given birth. If any of them did not show that a baby had been born and it was discovered, the midwife was killed.
During this time, Musa's mother kept her pregnancy a secret. She did not appear in front of people, but even when it appeared, he did everything so that he didn't feel burdened. She managed to remain inconspicuous until she was born. When he saw that the newborn was a boy, she had a hard time keeping it a secret. During the attempts to keep it secret, God inspired him to throw it into the Nile.
Allah has a will which encompasses everything, We inspired the mother of Musa: "Breastfeed him and, when you fear for his safety, throw it in the river, without fear or despair. Surely We will bring him back to you and make him a messenger.” (Who am I, 7)
A knowledgeable one, el-asmeij, heard one day a slave reciting lines of poetry full of eloquence. Ai i tha:"What great words!” The slave replied:"Already. There is no greater word than verse:Allah has a will which encompasses everything, We inspired the mother of Musa: "Breastfeed him and, when you fear for his safety, throw it in the river, without fear or despair. Surely We will bring him back to you and make him a messenger.”
Two new pieces of news are mentioned there, two ordinances and two ordinances.
The checks of Pharaoh's soldiers were increased in the houses of the Benu Israel, which forced the mother of Musa to act according to inspiration. She took it, he put it in a chest and threw it into the Nile. He asked the girl to follow him along the shore until he stopped somewhere.
"She said to Musa's sister: "Go after him!” His sister watched him from afar, without being seen by others." (Who am I, 11)
The ark where Musa (a.s.) was standing stood on the shore where the magnificent palace of the pharaoh was located. Definitely something was happening with the will and desire of the exalted God.
"But Pharaoh's family took him from the river, in order that one day he would become an enemy and bring misery to them, because Pharaoh, Haman and their army have been sinners.” (Who am I,
In the Israeli narratives it is said that Asia recognized that the baby was descended from the Benu Israel, but he kept this a secret from Pharaoh and others. While in fact, everyone understood that he was from the Banu Israel. Asia itself was sterile, unable to give birth and when she saw the newborn baby she was happy and clung to him.
"Pharaoh's wife said to him: “Ky (boy) it is joy for you and me, therefore do not kill him, because it can be useful or we can adopt it”. But they didn't know what they were doing." (Who am I, 9)
Pharaoh answered his wife:"This is joy for you and not for me." Says the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him:”If he had said, it is joy for me too, would not have been punished." And in fact, Musa, peace be upon him, was the greatest joy for Asia.
WHEREAS, the mother of Musa (pbuh) was very worried about what awaited her beloved baby.
"Meanwhile, the heart of Musa's mother became as if it were empty. A little more and everything would be revealed, as if We had not strengthened his heart, to become a true believer." (Who am I, 10)
She was indifferent to everything else, as if nothing existed. Out of worry and concern, she was ready to go to the streets to mourn and announce that she abandoned her son.. But God had promised him that he will return the newborn to calm down. This was the first sihariq.
In the Pharaoh's palace, The newborn Moses refused to drink milk from all the cows that offered him. The servants went out with the newborn to the market, hoping that they won't find a new girlfriend who will accept them. But the newborn was acting in that way according to God's command and will.
"We made him not accept any hint. so, the sister told them (who had adopted Musa): "Do you want me to find you a family?, which will take care of him, educating him carefully?” (Who am I, 12)
The servants asked the sister of Musa a.s:"But you know that they will take care of him and educate him properly?!She replied:"They are a poor and needy family, if they know that this newborn comes from the Pharaoh's palace and for that they will be rewarded, they will do everything to take care of him. In this house, there is a good woman, whose bosom no newborn has refused."
The servants agreed to go to this woman's house and approach Musa, he started drinking from his mother's breast. When Asia heard about this, asked to meet him and asked him to stay in the Pharaoh's palace to forgive Musa. But the mother refused on the pretext that she had other children at home to take care of. Then Asiya agreed to take Musa to her simple home, along with many gifts. Musa's mother herself was honored like no other, that even the pharaoh's commanders gave him many gifts, as she was seen as the guardian and nanny of the pharaoh's son.
Allah has a will which encompasses everything, We returned him to his mother, so that she would be happy and not sad and that she would know that the promise of Allah is true; for, most people don't know.” (Who am I, 13)
Musa (pbuh) grew up between his parents' house and the Pharaoh's palace. When he turned eighteen, he was distinguished for wisdom and wisdom.
"And, when he reached the proper age and maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. so, We reward them, who do good works." (Who am I, 14)
Some interpreters of the Qur'an believe that Prophethood was given to Moses at this age, but this opinion is not right. At this age, Musa (pbuh) belonged to the religion of the Banu Israel, the religion of his grandparents Yusuf a.s, Yakub a.s. and Ibrahim a.s.
One day, Musa, peace be upon him, walked the streets of the city, at a time when other people were locked at home. Some think it was lunch break time and some others say it was in the evening. God says about this event:
"Once Musa entered the city, unnoticed by its inhabitants. There he saw two people fighting. One was of his own, while the other was from the opponents. He of his own group asked for help against that of the enemy people. And Moses punched him, killing him.” (Who am I, 15)
An Egyptian and an Israelite were fighting, and the superiority of the Egyptian was evident. Musa immediately came and punched the Egyptian, which caused him instant death. Musa, peace be upon him, at that time enjoyed health and strength incomparable with other peers. With a single punch, he led the Egyptian to the other world. Musa, peace be upon him, did not intend to kill him, but simply to remove him from the Israeli whom he was violating. When he saw what happened, Musa, peace be upon him, remained speechless and said:"This is the work of the devil! He is the sworn enemy of man and an open troublemaker!” (Who am I, 15)
He attributed to Satan the fact that he had not considered his power. From the words themselves, it is understood that Musa (peace be upon him) knew the devil, the confusion and enmity he had declared to the human race.
Musa (peace be upon him) repented and regretted what had just happened.
"Oh my God! Unanimously, I have wronged myself, so I'm sorry!And He forgave him. Without a doubt, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Who am I, 16)
Since it was a sin that happened unintentionally and in the heat of the moment, Zoti ia fali.
“Musai Tha: "Oh my God! Thanks for the good you have given me, I will not be a helper of the wicked!” (Who am I, 17)
Since God forgave him this sin, Musa, peace be upon him, swore that he would never fall into the hands of criminals and evil people.
Although God forgave him this sin, Musa (pbuh) was afraid of any retaliation, having just killed an Egyptian. what should he do?
The next morning, as he walked cautiously, Musa a.s. faced the same scene and the same Israeli who had helped the day before by getting confused with another Egyptian. God says in the Qur'an:
"As Musa walked in the morning in fear in the city, waiting for what would happen, when the one who had called for help yesterday, called him for help again. Musa'i tha: "You were quite an open troublemaker!” (Who am I, 18)
However, he felt sorry for the Israeli and hesitated to come to his aid. At that moment, the frightened Egyptian told him:
"And, when he wanted to attack him who was the enemy of both, yes she is: “Oh Muse, will you kill me too, like you killed that other one yesterday?! You only want to become a violent person on earth and you don't want to be one of those who correct and establish justice". (Who am I, 19)
For, it seems that the news that Musa had killed an Egyptian had already spread in the city and everyone knew.
Some interpreters of the Koran, think that the one who said the above words to him was the Israelite, who thought that Musa will shoot him today, after accusing him of being a troublemaker.
Moses a.s, sensing the impending danger, you are hiding. A friend and companion of his in Pharaoh's palace, found him and asked him to leave Egypt immediately as the pharaoh had decided to execute him.
"A man came there, rushing from the edge of town, he is:“Oh Muse, the pariah has gathered and is talking about killing you, therefore go away, because I'm giving him honest advice". (Who am I, 20)
The pharaoh himself did not love Musa a.s. and this was seen from the first day that his wife found him. Likewise, even the priests of Egypt hated him, as they knew that it belonged to the Banu Israel. The right conditions had already been created to get rid of Musa.
"Moses left the city in fear, waiting for what would happen and said: "Oh my God, save me from the wicked people!” (Who am I, 21)
And where did Musa, peace be upon him, go?, while everyone was looking for him to get rid of him? He didn't even have food with him for the trip, not even water, neither animal nor knew the region. Without knowing where he is going, he traveled in the desert until he reached Palestine. He covered all this distance on foot, where the shoes he was wearing were torn and he completed the journey barefoot. Since there was no food either, he fed on tree leaves.
Musa (pbuh) continued his journey until he reached Medje, the village where the prophet of God lived, Shuaybi a.s. This was after God had destroyed and punished the people of Shu'ayb, who worshiped a tree.
"When he reached the well of Medjeni, he met many people around him giving water to the animals. Apart from them, he noticed two young women holding their animals. Ai tha: "How are you doing??" They said: "We don't give them water, without the shepherds leaving. Our father is very old". (Who am I, 23)
In Medje, there was a water well, where people filled water for themselves and animals. The water they filled from the well, they poured it from a spoon, where everyone's animals then drank. While all the people were filling water and giving water to the cattle, two young women stood aside with their cattle. Musa (pbuh) approached and asked them why they were standing aside and not giving water to the cattle.. The girls excused themselves that they did not want to mix with the other men. Immediately Musa a.s went and filled water for the cattle of the two girls and after they left, Musa sat under the shade of a tree.
Allah has a will which encompasses everything, Musa gave water to their animals and then turned to a shadow and said: "My God, whatever gift you give me, i am needy!” (Who am I, 24)
Tregon Abdullah ibn Abasi:"When Musa, peace be upon him, arrived in Medje, the skin on his feet was frayed from the barefoot journey, and his stomach was stuck to his back from hunger."
One of two daughters, they heard the above prayer of Musa a.s. and upon arriving home, they told their father everything that had happened. They saw that he was a noble and kind-hearted man and decided to invite him home to reward him..
"Later, one of those two, came shyly and told him:"My father invites you to reward you, than i and water (our flock)”. (Who am I, 25)
As mentioned in the verse, the girl timidly came to Musa a.s. and invited him to the house. On the way, Musa (peace be upon him) walked in front and the girl behind and whenever he had to show her the direction she should follow, the girl threw a pebble in the right direction. One of the distinguishing features of a Muslim girl is the politeness and morality of shame. We see this reflected in the daughter of a prophet and the wife of a prophet. This girl, she was the daughter of the prophet Shuayb a.s. and then she will marry Musa himself a.s.
"When Musa went to him and told him what he had experienced, ai tha:"Do not be afraid, for you have escaped from an evil-doing people!” “O babai im, - said one of the two - take this man into service! Of course strong and reliable people are the best, that one can take into service". (Who am I, 25-26)
The most important qualities that an employee must fulfill are ability and reliability. In addition to his skills, it must also fulfill the reliability criterion, to be a trustworthy person who knows God. On the contrary, will waste your wealth.
Highlighting rare qualities and traits in Musa a.s, Shuaib decided to marry her to one of his two daughters. Since Musa, peace be upon him, had no wealth, as he was a fugitive, Shuaib asked for it as a wedding gift, to work for him for eight years. After this, he would be free to go where he wanted.
"The old man said: "I want to give you one of these two daughters of mine as a wife, provided you serve me eight years; for, if you want, you can stay ten years. I don't want to complicate things. You will see, God willing, that I am a good person. Musai tha: "Let it be so (this agreement) between me and you. Whichever of the two deadlines I meet, it will not be unfair to me. Allah is Witness to what we spoke." (Who am I, 27-28)
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was asked one day how many years Musa (pbuh) stayed in the house of Shuaib, serving him. The Prophet a.s replied:”He completed ten years."
After ten years, Musa (pbuh) had changed a lot and felt longing for his hometown, for the mother, sister and brother. so, together with his wife he left for Egypt. On the way, he gets lost in the desert. He ran to light a fire, as it was a cold night, but he couldn't. That's big, he saw a firelight and asked the woman to wait where she was and immediately started towards the fire.
"When Musa fulfilled the deadline and left with his family, noticed from a distance a fire on the side of (the mountain of) You have. He told his family: "Pritni, because I saw a fire. Maybe I can bring you some news from him or a bridge of fire to warm up". (Who am I, 29)
Undoubtedly, this was happening to him according to a plan and project from God himself. He must have lost his way that night, to fart together with his wife and ask you to light a fire.
"Have you heard the story of Moses?? When he saw a fire, he told his family: "Stay here, because I saw a fire! Perhaps I can bring you a lighted bridge or find a guide near it”. (Taha, 9-10)
When he reached the fire, Musa saw something strange. What Musa (pbuh) took for fire, it was light, only . This light and light emanated from a large tree. Surprised, he approached this tree which glowed from within. When he approached, heard for the first time the divine call addressed to him. The exalted God was speaking directly and without intermediary to one of His creatures, something that has never happened to anyone else, except for the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, on the night of Miraj.
"When he reached the fire, a voice called to him: “Oh Muse! Indeed, I am your Lord! THEREFORE, take off the clogs, because you are in the sacred valley of Tuva. I have chosen you, therefore listen to what is being revealed to you! Really, I am Allah, there is no god but Me, THEREFORE, worship only Me and perform the prayer to remember Me!”
"Not (of the Hour) it will come for sure, but I keep it very hidden, that each one be rewarded for what he has done. THEREFORE, do not leave him who does not believe in him (Doomsday) and which is given after its own lusts, to get you out (from the right path), otherwise you would be lost.” (Taha, 11-16)
In another verse of Surah Qasas, The exalted God describes this moment in words:
"When he came close, a voice called to him from the right side of the valley, from a tree in a blessed place: “Oh Muse, indeed, I am Allah, Andaj Allahu!” (Who am I, 30)
After everything became clear to Musa a.s, God asks at one point:"What is she holding in her right hand, Musa??He replied: “This is my stick, with which I hold and shake leaves for my teeth; it also serves me for other jobs. (Allahu) i tha: “Throw it away, while on the other hand it is known that in the time of Noah a.s there were no other prophets besides him!” He threw it and, immediately, (rod) became a creeping serpent.” (Taha, 17)
In another verse, God says:
“Drop your stick!” When he saw the stick that was moving like a snake, he ran away and never came back. (God called them) “Oh Muse, do not be afraid! Indeed, My messengers do not fear in My presence.” (moist, 10)
“Drop your stick!” When he saw that the stick was moving fast, as if it were a snake, retreated faster, without looking back, as the voice told him: “Oh Muse! Approach and do not be afraid, because you are protected." (Who am I, 31)
The instant his staff turned into a snake, Musa, peace be upon him, was overcome by fear and panic. After God ordered him to take it in hand, Musa (pbuh) grabbed it by the tail and turned into a stick again.
“(Allahu) i tha: "Take it and don't be afraid! We will return it to its previous state.“(Taha, 21)
Except for the miracle of the stick that turned into a snake, God gave Moses a second miracle, which we find in the verses:
"Put your hand under your armpit: it will come out white, without any disease. And, this is another sign.” (Taha, 22)
"Put your hand into your bosom and it will come out white without any disease." (moist, 12)
Musa (pbuh) was ordered to put his hand under his armpit and when he took it out from there, she shone like the sun. If he put his hand under his armpit again, the light was leaving. If he was overcome by fear for one reason or another, Musa, peace be upon him, would gather his arm behind him and she would leave him. God says in the Qur'an:"Hold your arm behind you to free yourself from fear! These are two miracles from your Lord for Pharaoh and his princes; they are indeed a wicked people!” (Who am I, 32)
After he understood the message with which God charged him, Musai a.s i yes:
” (Musa) tha: "Oh my God, I expanded my chest, make easy my job, and untie the knot of my tongue, that they may understand my word!” (Taha, 24-28)
As is known, Musa (peace be upon him) suffered from stuttering, for this he prayed to God to remove this defect from him. Whenever he spoke ordinary things, Musa (peace be upon him) stammered, while speaking to Pharaoh about God and inviting him to His religion, spoke freely and without problems.
When the mother of believers, Aisha, was asked who was the greatest mediator in history, he answered:"He is Musa a.s, who interceded with God so that his brother would also become a prophet."
"Give me a helper from my family, Harunin, my brother! He increased my power through him and made me a partner in my work, to weave many glories for You and to mention You constantly! really, You will always be our Overseer". (Allahu) tha: "Your request has been granted, o Musa.” (Taha, 29-36)
After this, Musa (pbuh) remembered that he had killed an Egyptian and that this could pose a danger to his life..
“Musai Tha: "Oh my God, I have killed one of their men, therefore I am afraid that they will kill me. My brother, Aaron, is more eloquent than I am in speech, so send him with me, as my assistant, to confirm my words. I'm really afraid they'll call me a liar.". Allahu tha: "We will strengthen you and your brother and we will give you both strength. so, they will not be able to approach you. With Our miracles, both of you and those who will follow you, do
be obedient." (Who am I, 33)
Musa a.s in Egypt
On arrival in Egypt, Musa (pbuh) headed towards his mother's house. After meeting all the family members, he and Harun went to Pharaoh. When they went to the gate of the palace, the guards did not allow them to enter. Musa (pbuh) was told that he was a messenger and the guards thought that he was the messenger of some king and allowed him to enter the pharaoh..
Musa's mission was to lead the Benu Israel out of Egypt. God says in the Qur'an:"Go to Pharaoh and tell him: "We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds, to let the children of Israel come with us!” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 16)
At first sight, the pharaoh immediately recognized Musa a.s. and when he heard his request, i tha:
Pharaoh said: "Is it?, did we not raise you in our bosom as a child?! Have you not stayed among us many years of your life??! And then do the work you know, being ungrateful?! Musai tha: "I've done it, when I was not instructed. Then I ran away from you, when I feared you and my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of the messengers. Do you call what you did to me kindness?, while the children of Israel (my people) you made them slaves? Pharaoh asked him: "And what is the Lord of the worlds?” (Musa) he answered: "It is Lord of the skies, of the Earth and everything in between, if you believe with conviction". (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 18-24)
These words, Musa, peace be upon him, did not address only Pharaoh, but also to other attendees who were present.
(Pharaohs) he told them about himself: "Is it?, aren't you listening?!”Yes: "Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers." (Pharaohs) tha: "Really, the Messenger brought to you, is crazy".(Musa) tha: "Lord of the East and the West and all that lies between them, if you understand.” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 25-28)
Moses, peace be upon him, mentioned some qualities of God, who ruled the East and the West, these qualities that the pharaoh did not enjoy, who claimed to enjoy divine qualities. When he heard these words, the pharaoh was afraid that those present would be influenced by the words of Musa a.s, for this he began to threaten and blackmail Musa a.s.
“(Pharaohs) tha: "If you take someone else as your lord, except me, sure, I will put you in jail!”(Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 29)
This is the typical behavior of dictators and despots, who are not convinced by rational arguments. Their only solution is prisons, tortured, persecution and mistreatment of Muslim uncles and invitees.
Seeing Pharaoh's stubbornness, Musa a.s. decided to play the card of miracles, hoping it would reflect.
“(Musa) he answered: "Is it?, even after I have brought you clear miracles? “(Pharaohs) tha: "So tell me, if you tell the truth!” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 30-31)
The dialogue between Moses and the pharaoh is mentioned in many other verses of the Qur'an.
"Go to him and tell him: "We both are the messengers of your Lord, let the children of Israel come with us and do not trouble them! We have brought you a sign from your Lord. Peace be upon him who follows the right path! "It simply came to our notice then, it has been revealed to us that punishment will strike anyone, THAT (i)please (the signs of Allah) AND (i) turns his back (His messengers)”. (Pharaohs) tha: “E, who is your god, or Muse?” (Musa) tha: "Our Lord is the One who gave everything its form and then guided it". (Pharaohs) tha: "How is the condition of previous generations"? why have they not worshiped this God that you believe and asks us to believe too? – (Musa) tha: "Knowledge about them is found in my Lord, in the Book. My God does not make mistakes and does not forget!” - with this, Musa, peace be upon him, seemed to draw their attention so that they would not divert the conversation to the previous generations, but to talk about that time - It is He who has made the Earth a bed for you, who has paved your roads through it and who sends down water from the sky, in order to, through him, grow many different types of plants. Eat and graze your livestock! THESE, Really, they are signs for those who are wise.” (Taha, 47-54)
When Musa (peace be upon him) spoke to him about concrete facts and evidence, which proved the truth of what he had said until then, the pharaoh agreed.
“(Musa) dropped his stick and it turned into a real snake! Then she took out her hand, immediately appeared white in front of the viewers!” (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 31-32)
There were two miracles that left the pharaoh and those present speechless. Sensing the danger, the pharaoh immediately intervened and said:"and said: “Oh Muse, have you come to take us out of our land with your magic?! We will bring you a similar magic. Assign, between you and us, a meeting in a flat place, where we will not be absent either, as you!” (Taha, 58)
For, the pharaoh accused Musa a.s. of sorcery, he even challenged him by inviting him to face his wizards. This was exactly what Musa (peace be upon him) wanted.
“(Musa) tha: "The meeting with you is on the day of celebration and let humanity gather in the morning".(Taha, 59)
Musa, peace be upon him, before the magicians
As soon as he appeared before the magicians, Musa (pbuh) warned them of the consequences they would have if they continued deceiving people.
"Moses said to them: "Poor you! Do not invent lies about Allah, causing Him to destroy you with punishment. They will surely fail, those who fabricate lies!” (Taha, 61)
These magicians, had been selected by the pharaoh since childhood and had sent them to the most famous magicians of Egypt. After they had grown up, they were famous throughout Egypt for their magic. When they heard the above words of Musa a.s, they started discussing among themselves, after they realized that they were not the words of a magician.
"They discussed their work with each other, secretly whispering." (Taha, 62)
They argued with each other about the issue of Musa (peace be upon him)., who did not seem to them a wizard as they themselves were, but than there was something different. In the end, they went to the pharaoh to whom they said:"And when Pharaoh's magicians came, STRESSED: "Will we be rewarded?, if we win?Pharaoh said: “Po, and you will be among my closest relatives". (Purgatory, 113-114)
Not only will you be rewarded – if you break Musa with your magic – but I will also appoint you to the highest positions beside me. This increased the greed of the magicians more and before the people they declared:
"One of them said: "It simply came to our notice then, THIS (Moses and Aaron), there are two wizards, who want to drive you out of your land with their witchcraft and destroy your very good religion. THEREFORE, pool your spells and take turns. Whoever has the upper hand will win today!” (Taha, 63-64)
All the wizards lined up, while Musa a.s. was in front of them alone and Harun behind him.
They said: “Oh Muse, or you throw, or we throw first". (Taha, 65)
God inspired Musa (pbuh) to wait until the magicians demonstrated their magic first..
“Yes: "Already, you throw!” And here it seemed to him that their ropes and sticks were really sorting, because of their magic.” (Taha, 66)
Pharaoh's forty magicians threw down their staffs and ropes, who immediately began to move and writhe as if they were snakes. This scene also fascinated Musa himself.
"And it seemed to him that their ropes and sticks were really sorting, because of their magic.” (Taha, 66)
“When the wizards threw down their wands, fascinated the eyes of the people, frightened them and manifested great magic.” (Purgatory, 116)
People who witnessed this event and scene panicked. Likewise, even Musa himself was afraid. "Then Moses felt fear within himself." (Taha, 67)
But God calmed Musa with words:”We told him: "Do not be afraid, I know, indeed, you will win! Throw the one you are holding in your right hand: it will swallow up everything they have done, because what they have done, it is only a magician's trick; e, the magician will not succeed wherever he is found.” (Taha, 68)
By throwing his cane, Musa a.s, turned into a snake and began to swallow all the wands and ropes of the magicians. This scene assured the wizards that what they had seen could not be magic.
To show that the magicians immediately accepted this truth, The Quran says:” Then the magicians prostrated themselves and said: "We believe in the God of Aaron and Moses". (Taha, 70)
What they had seen with their eyes was not magic, but it was a divinely sourced miracle. This reaction of magicians, drove the pharaoh mad.
He stood up and addressed the wizards with the words:"What?! You believed him, before I give you permission?!” (Taha, 71)
magicians, when they found that what Musa (a.s.) just did was not magic, they forgot the pharaoh. When they prostrated, it was as if someone forced them to fall. The very verb that is used in this context (Ulkies) means "they jumped", as if someone prostrated them.
To find an excuse and not to be unmasked in front of the whole public, Pharaoh said to the magicians, accusing them of conspiracy:”Indeed, so take him for enemy (Moses a.s) is your master, who taught you spells.” (Taha, 71)
"It simply came to our notice then, this is a plot you have prepared, in order to drive its inhabitants out of the city! You have to see it!” (Purgatory, 123)
Pharaoh who had killed who knows how many babies from the children of Israel, oppressed and mistreated them, accused the magicians and Musa (a.s.) of conspiracy and evil intentions. It's the same propaganda, which today is addressed against invitees and uncles, who are accused of being terrorists and extremists. Criminals and ethnic cleansers themselves, accuse the victims. How similar yesterday is to today!
Pharaoh even threatened them with words:"I will cut off your swapped hands and feet and hang you on palm tree trunks. You will find out, sure, which of us is more severe and more persevering in punishment." (Taha, 71)
The wizards answer was blunt and contained no hint of hesitation:
(magicians) they answered: "We will never give you priority over the proofs that have come to us and over the One who created us. THEREFORE, judge as you like; you judge only in the life of this world!” (Taha, 72)
The pharaoh ordered to kill all the magicians who had believed Musa a.s. The magicians were the first to believe in the message of Moses. Except for wizards, Three other people also believed in Musa. Ibn Abbas says:"From other Egyptians, only three people believed: Asia, the man who had told Musa and the pharaoh wanted to execute him after he had drowned an Egyptian and believed a third of the pharaoh's advisers, but who kept the faith secret."
Pharaoh was separated with his advisers to discuss the matter of Moses and the magicians.. They advised him to mistreat the children of Israel more.
God says in the Qur'an about this fact:"And, when he brought them the Truth from Us, they said:"Kill the sons of those who trusted him and let their daughters live!” (Mu'min, 25)
He also began to mock and ironize Musa a.s. with words:Pharaoh said: "Let me kill Musa and let him call his Lord for help. I am truly afraid that he will change your religion or cause unrest on Earth.". (Mu'min, 26)
Musa, peace be upon him, had nowhere else to rely except on the help of God the Exalted. “Musai Tha: "I pray to My Lord and your Lord to protect me from all arrogance, who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning"! (Mu'min, 27)
The believer who belonged to the Pharaoh's family, but who kept his faith secret, he addressed Pharaoh and others with the words:
"But a man of faith, from Pharaoh's relatives, who hid his faith, tha: "Is it?, you will kill a man just because he says "Allah is my Lord", while he has brought you clear signs from your Lord?! If he is a liar, to him belongs the punishment of his own lie e, if it is right, then something of what he threatens you will hit you. really, Allah does not guide to the right path the one who indulges in evil and is a liar." (Mu'min, 28)
It was a noble attitude of this believer, who reminded Pharaoh of God's greatness and asked him not to oppose the prophet sent by Him. Pharaoh wanted to abuse him and take revenge for this courage, but God protected him.
"But no one believed Moses, except a minority of his people, out of fear that Pharaoh and his court would mistreat them. Pharaoh was indeed a tyrant in the land, and in evil he exceeded every limit." (Yunus, 83)
Pharaoh began to implement his plan and project to double the pain and suffering of the children of Israel.
The Benu Israel went to Musa and complained about the oppression and suffering. و .قَالُوا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا و .لَا سُو .اعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَعَوقَ وَنَسْرًا. وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ َّلَّا ضَلَالًا: "We suffered before you came and we are still suffering". (Purgatory, 129) Our children were slaughtered before you came and after you came.
“Musai Tha: “O my people! If you believe in Allah, rely on Him, if you are muslim!"They said: "We have relied on Allah. O our Lord, do not make us a trial for the evil-doing people (letting them destroy us), and be saved by Your mercy, from the denying people!” (Yunus, 84)
God inspired Moses and his brother to place certain signs in the houses of the children of Israel so that they would be recognized.
"We revealed to Musa and his brother: “Build houses for your people in Egypt, turn them into shrines and pray! And bring good news to the believers!” (Yunus, 87)
This was done in order that when they are ordered to leave Egypt, to find it easy to locate the Jews.
THEN, Musa, peace be upon him, prayed to God against the pharaoh and the king of Egypt.
Musai tha: “Our Lord! You have given Pharaoh and his princes ornaments and riches in the life of this world, they are still not the true God who deserves to be worshiped as Allah tells us in some verses, oh our god, they turn us away from Your path! O our Lord! Destroy their wealth and harden their hearts, so that they don't believe, until they taste the painful punishment!” (Yunus, 88)
Historians tell:"All the wealth of Pharaoh and the elite of Egypt, were turned to stone." Not just possessions, but also the foods they ate every day.
“(Allahu) tha: "The prayer of both of you was accepted! Stay both of you on the right path and never follow the path of the ignorant!” (Yunus, 89)
They told him: "We suffered before you came and we are still suffering". Musai tha: "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers on Earth, to see how you will act". (Purgatory, 129)
God's punishments on the Egyptians
When typing, abuses and tortures were increased upon the children of Israel, God brings his punishment against the Egyptians.
"And We struck Pharaoh's people with drought, me vite see, to remember." (Purgatory, 130)
The first punishment was drought, it didn't rain, the resources were exhausted and the level of the Nile fell like never before. The drought caused Egypt to be gripped by famine. Pharaoh immediately understood that this came to them from Musa and immediately called him. To meet you, faraoni i tha:"If you ask God to make it rain and leave the drought, the children of Israel shall suffer no more.” Musa, peace be upon him, prayed to God to remove the drought, and immediately the Nile was filled with water and abundant rain fell.. But Pharaoh did not keep his word and continued to oppress the children of Israel.
The second punishment: Reduction of fruits. All trees that used to produce substantial amounts of fruit, now they produced but a single grain. palm trees, they produced only a single date palm. The grape vines produced nothing but a single cluster of grapes. Pharaoh called Moses again and asked him to pray to God to remove that punishment, in return for not mistreating the children of Israel. Musa, peace be upon him, prayed to God and the trees were filled with fruit. STILL, Pharaoh again did not keep his word and did not allow the children of Israel to leave.
"But every time something good came to them, they said: "We deserved this!"And when something bad hit him, they took it as a bad omen coming from Moses and his people. the believer should keep in mind that Allah addresses him with the command to try to be one of them! Allah was the one who caused their black fate, although most of them did not know!” (Purgatory, 131)
Punishments began to follow each other. Says God exalted about this:
"Therefore, We sent them floods, shrimp, ticks, frogs and blood, as clear signs, but they magnified themselves and were an evil-doing people.” (Purgatory, 133)
The verse mentions only five arguments and punishments for Pharaoh and his people. We mentioned the other four above and they are: The stick that turned into a snake, the hand that shone like the sun when tucked under the armpit, drought and lack of fruit.
The next punishment was the flood of Egypt. What is special is that all of Egypt was flooded, but the neighborhoods where the children of Israel lived did not suffer anything. Immediately the pharaoh sought Musa and begged him to remove this punishment. Musa, peace be upon him, prayed to God and the floods stopped. However, the pharaoh continued with the abuse and oppression. The next punishment was the shrimps, which spread rapidly and destroyed the crops of the Egyptians. All the plantations with crops of the Egyptians were destroyed by locusts, meanwhile those of the children of Israel suffered nothing. Because the pharaoh did not remember, this punishment was followed by another, LICE. All the Egyptians were covered with lice on their heads and all over their bodies. While the children of Israel were not affected by lice at all. Whenever an Egyptian lay down to rest, was covered with lice.
The next punishment was the frogs that filled the place. Every time an Egyptian opened the vessel to drink water, found frogs inside. He lay down to sleep, he couldn't sleep from the croaking of the frogs. He sat down to eat his next meal and opened his mouth to eat, the frog crawled right into his mouth.
The final punishment, which crushed and burned the pharaoh completely was the blood. Whenever an Egyptian went to draw water in the Nile, the water turned into blood. This was not the case with the children of Israel. Egyptians when filling water from wells, only blood came out of the buckets, and the buckets of the children of Israel were filled with water. Found in this situation, the Egyptians went to the children of Israel to drink water. But how much they filled the glass to drink, turned into blood.
"And when the punishment hit them, they said: “Oh Muse, pray to your Lord for us, since he has a covenant with you! If you free us from this suffering, we will certainly believe you and let the children of Israel go with you". For, when We freed them from suffering and the appointed term came, they immediately broke their promise.” (Purgatory, 134-135)
In this case, Pharaoh and the Egyptians were tired and exhausted, so that for the first time Pharaoh agrees to let the children of Israel leave Egypt, in exchange for avoiding this punishment.
Immediately Musa a.s. ordered the children of Israel to prepare at dinner that they would leave at night to leave Egypt. it, fearing that the pharaoh would repent again and not allow them to leave.
“(Allahu i tha): "I walk with My servants at night, because they will follow you!” (Smoking, 23)
Since everyone is in each other's houses from the previously established signs, six hundred thousand inhabitants began, with the spoils, children and animals, to leave their homes and undertake the journey of salvation to Palestine.
The next morning, the pharaoh regretted the permission he had given Musa a.s. to take his people. Who would serve them now that the Jews were fleeing?? Where would they get the slaves and the labor force??
"For, when We freed them from suffering and the appointed term came, they immediately broke their promise.”(Purgatory, 135)
Immediately he and the army went after the Jews and Musa a.s. God says in the Qur'an:"At dawn, they (Pharaoh's people) approached them." (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 60)
At this time, Moses and his people had arrived at the shores of the Red Sea. That's big, they saw Pharaoh's army closing in on them.
"When the two groups saw each other, Musa's companions called out:"Really, they took us!”Yes: "No way! Indeed, my Lord is with me. He will show me the way". (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 61-62)
As Pharaoh's army approached, the people of Musa a.s. were seized with terror and panic from what awaited them.
"And We revealed to Musa: "Strike the sea with your stick!"Immediately the sea parted, and every part of it became like a great mountain." (Except that they were skilled and masters in construction, 63)
It was another miracle that God gave to Musa (pbuh) and which the Jews and Pharaoh's army saw with their own eyes.. The sea was divided into two parts, where each resembled a high mountain. What is special is that even the road where the sea had opened was not wet, but dry, that the children of Israel may pass without trouble.
"..open for them a dry road through the sea and do not fear that someone will catch you or that you will be drowned!” (Taha, 77)
Pharaoh and his army stood before the sea. He was afraid and hesitated to follow the children of Israel, but his horse galloped into the open road. The whole army followed him. With the passing of the last Israelite from the sea, before Pharaoh comes out, the two parts of the sea join again
"Pharaoh followed them (the children of Israel) with his army, but the sea covered them with great waves. Pharaoh brought loss to his people and did not lead them on the right path. (Taha, 78-79)
We carried the Israelites across the sea and Pharaoh with his army pursued them out of wickedness and enmity. For, when he was drowning, (Pharaohs) tha: "I believe that there is no god other than the One in whom the children of Israel believe; and I am among the Muslims.” - But Pharaoh's repentance was not accepted, as he was in the moments when he ascertained death - the exalted Lord answered him: "Is it?, this (po beson),whereas before you were inaudible and troublesome?! Today we will only save your body, that you may become a lesson to those who come after you." But, indeed, most people do not heed Our signs.” (Yunus, 90-92)
It is another miracle that God left his body as an argument for people. He is to this day as a mummy in the museum of Egypt. It is precisely the mummy of Ramses, the pharaoh of Musa a.s. who drowned in the sea.
In a hadith, Jibril, peace be upon him, tells the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him:"I have not hated anyone as I hated Pharaoh. Except you see me, O Messenger of Allah, taking water and filling his mouth, in order not to testify that there is no god but Allah. I was afraid that God would have mercy on him."
So the children of Israel escaped and crossed the sea.
We also want an idol to worship
They had just crossed the sea, the Israelites see a people who worshiped their idol. They were still in the Sinai desert and had not arrived in Palestine. STILL, they wanted to have an idol to worship.
"We took the children of Israel across the sea, where they encountered a people who worshiped their own idols. They said to Musa:"You made us a god too, just like those gods have". Musai tha:"You are truly an ignorant people! The religion these idolaters follow, destruction awaits him and what they do, it is totally worthless. Do you want me to seek for you a god other than Allah?, that has raised you above others?!” (Purgatory, 138-140)
Benu Israel in the desert of Sinai
God saved the Benu Israel from the oppression and blackmail of the pharaoh, with a miracle that God made possible for Musa a.s. Says God exalted in the Qur'an:
"Remember how we saved you from Pharaoh's people, who oppressed you cruelly: he slaughtered your sons and left your women alive. This has been a great trial for you - from your Lord. Remember how we broke the sea and saved you, while in your presence we drowned Pharaoh's men." (Baqarah, 49-50)
All the events between Moses and his people, from this moment they will take place between Mount Sinai and Palestine.
After escaping from the violence and oppression of the pharaoh, Musa a.s. together with his people set off towards Mount Tur, where the exalted God would reveal the Torah. On Mount Tur and for thirty nights, The constitution would be announced to Musa a.s (Teurati) which would regulate the relations between the Benu Israel. Based on the fact that the Benu Israel were six hundred thousand and barely moved, and from the fact that the need for legislation was very great, Musa (pbuh) left before them for Tur.
"Why did you hurry before your people?, or Muse?” (Musa) tha: "And, they, they follow my tracks and I hastened to You, Oh my God, to gain Your pleasure". (Taha, 83-84)
Upon arriving at Mount Tur, for the second time Musa, peace be upon him, will communicate directly with the exalted God, but without looking at it. The exalted God Himself has named Mount Tur as holy. God says in the Qur'an:"His Lord called him to the sacred valley of Tuva." (The Nazis, 16)
Before leaving alone, Musa (pbuh) informed his people that he would return in thirty days. During the thirty days, Musa, peace be upon him, used to fast to please the exalted God. But he noticed that his mouth smelled bad because of fasting, so he decided to eat to get rid of the stench. God criticized him for this and asked him:"Why did you break your fast??” Musa (peace be upon him) answered:"Because my mouth smelled really bad." God told him:"Didn't you know that the smell of the fasting person's mouth?, it is dearer to me than the smell of musk?! THEREFORE, fast for another ten days!”
so, Musa had to stay for forty days on Mount Tur. God says in the Qur'an:
"We promised Musa that we would speak to him after thirty nights, which we added ten more, so the meeting with his Lord took place after forty nights. Musa said to his brother, Haroun:"Replace me to my people, keep order and do not follow the path of troublemakers!” (Purgatory, 142)
During these days, God the Exalted communicated directly with Musa a.s, without intermediaries. This is how Musa, peace be upon him, communicated with God, without intermediaries. For this, Musa a.s. is known as "kelimullah", interlocutor with God without an intermediary.
"What belongs to Musa, Allah spoke directly to him." (Women, 164)
Musa, peace be upon him, enjoyed this honor and privilege to the fullest, that once he craved more. One time, he asked God to enable him to see it. This is mentioned by God himself in the Qur'an where he says:"When Moses came at the appointed time and God spoke to him, ai tha: "Oh my God, appear that I may see you" God said: "You can't see me! – It is impossible for creatures to see God in this world. God says in another verse:” Human eyes cannot reach Him, while He reaches the gaze of all." (en'am, 103) After the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, had returned from the journey of Miraj, Aisha asks him:"Did you get the chance to see God directly??!” The Prophet, peace be upon him, answers:"It was all light, which did not allow me to see it." In another hadith, The Prophet a.s says:"The curtain that prevents us from seeing it is made of wool and the moment it is revealed, burn everything in front of you."
THEN, God said to Musa a.s:”But look at that mountain: if he remains in his place, then you will see Me". And when his Lord appeared to the mountain, crushed it and ground it into dust, while Musa fainted. When he came to, ai tha: "Praised be You, Lord! I return to you repentant. I am the first of the believers!” (Purgatory, 143)
Tregon Abdullah ibn Abasi:"God appeared to the mountain the size of the cheekbone of the little finger."
STILL, the entire mountain melted before the eyes of Musa a.s. and disappeared instantly. Such a scene made Musa (pbuh) lose consciousness. When he came on his own, he demonstrated repentance and humility before God's majesty.
After all this, God said to Musa a.s:”O Muse! I have chosen you above others - with My words and My Speech (without intermediaries, but direct). Take what I have given you and be thankful!” (Purgatory, 144)
so, God revealed the Torah to Moses, which was written on stone tablets.
"We wrote instructions and explanations for everything on the Plates: "Take these with obedience and order your people to adopt them in the best way. I will show you the home of the disobedient." (Purgatory, 145)
The Benu Israel worship the calf
During the forty days that Musa, peace be upon him, stayed on Mount Tur, among his people, Benu Israel, dangerous and consequential events were taking place. Says God exalted in the Qur'an regarding this event:
"Why did you hurry before your people?, or Muse?” (Musa) tha: "And, they, they follow my tracks and I hastened to You, Oh my God, to gain Your pleasure". (Allahu) tha: "We tested your people during your absence, and Samiri led them out of the right path". (Taha, 83-85)
During the last days of Musa's stay in Tur, God told him that a person from his people, called Samiri, had caused the Benu Israel to deviate from the straight path.
Moses a.s, with taking the stone tablets which contained the divine message of God and full of wisdom, took the road back to his people.
The exalted God mentions in the Qur'an the grief and emotions of Musa a.s. about what had happened. "Moses returned to his people angry and sad." (Taha, 86)
Before leaving for Tur, Musa (peace be upon him) had promised them that he would stay there only thirty days. Benu Israel, when they saw that Musa was not coming back, they started guessing. Haruni a.s, the brother of Musa (peace be upon him) said:"I am afraid that we have committed a sin!”
Actually, When the Benu Israel left Egypt, they took a lot of gold and silver ornaments with them, which did not belong to them. Since Israelite women were poor, they asked the Egyptian women with whom they had company to borrow the silver ornaments and they gave them to them. When Musa (pbuh) ordered the Benu Israel to leave Egypt, it was impossible for the Jewish women to return the ornaments to their Egyptian friends, so they took them with them.
Knowing such a fact, Haruni a.s u yes:"I am afraid that we have been punished because of this gold that does not belong to us. We are neither allowed to use these ornaments - as they are not ours - nor can we take them back to Egypt. THEREFORE, I propose to bury him."
Immediately all the women brought the gold borrowed from the Egyptians and buried it in the ground. A man from the people of Musa a.s, whose name was Samirij, he dug up the gold, he melted it down and made a calf sculpture with it.
To this man, God had given him some abilities that no one else enjoyed. He was able to spot Jibreel as he passed by. so, one day he had seen Jibreel as he was traveling on a horse. Wherever the horse threw its legs, the place turned green immediately. Samirij, goes to the place where Jibreel's horse touched the ground and takes a handful of dirt, which he throws to the silver calf. Immediately, the calf began to calve. He went to the Banu Israel and after telling them about the calf, u are:"This is God whom Moses is looking for. Upon returning, Musa will worship this calf with us." THEN, he asked them to worship the silver calf. All these developments, like during the last ten days of Musa's stay in Tur. Most of the Banu Israel obeyed Samiri and worshiped the calf, while only a minority rejected it and waited for Musa a.s. to come.
When Musa (peace be upon him) returned from meeting God on Mount Tur, was outraged by what he found. Says the exalted God describing this moment:"Moses returned to his people angry and sad. Tha:“O my people, perhaps, did not your Lord give you a good promise? Doesn't time seem long to you? (of fulfilling the promise) or do you want the wrath of your Lord to strike you?! That's why you didn't keep the promise you gave me?!” (Taha, 86)
As mentioned above, only a minority of the Banu Israel, together with them and Harun a.s, they did not worship the calf, but they waited for Musa a.s.
When Musa (PBUH) asked them about the reason that led them to worship the calf, they answered:
"We have not broken the promise we gave you of our own free will, but we were heavily burdened with the ornaments of the people (of Pharaoh), so we threw them away (in the fire to be relieved). Samiriu threw them the same way, and of these he made a defecating calf's body. Then he said: "This is your god and god Musait. Ai (Musa) has forgotten (tell you about it)!” (Taha, 87-88)
How is it possible for the Children of Israel to believe such a thing? "Is it?, didn't they see it?, I know(VEAL) he didn't say a word to them and he wasn't able to bring them any harm or benefit? WHEREAS, Harun had told them before: “O my people! This is just a test for you! Your Lord is the Most Merciful, therefore follow me and obey my command! They responded: "We will pray to him, until Moses returns to us" (Taha, 89-90)
When he saw the condition his people were in, Musa (pbuh) was very angry, that he also threw away the tablets where the Torah was revealed to him. He addressed Harun first with many criticisms, he even grabbed her by the hair and chin, dragging her, about what had happened. Musa's nature was harsh, while Harun's nature was gentle. For this, the Jews loved Harun a.s. more than they loved Musa a.s.
“(Musa) tha: “O Harun, what prevented you, when he saw that they were lost, to come to me?! Did you disobey my order??” (Aaron) tha: “O son of my mother, don't grab me by the chin or the head! I was afraid you would say: You have sown divisions among the children of Israel and have not kept my commandments". (Taha, 92-94)
For, Harun (a.s.) justified himself to Musa (a.s.) that he did not want to divide the Benu Israel.. After he finished with his brother, Musa (pbuh) turned to Samiri.
In another verse, other details are given regarding the reason that made Harun (a.s.) take that position.
"When Moses returned to his people, angry and sad, cried: "It's very bad what you did after I left! Did you wish to hasten the punishment of your Lord??” Then he threw the tiles and, grabbing his brother by the head, he pulled her towards him. Haruni she is: “O son of my mother! Indeed, these people called me weak and almost strangled me. - The Benu Israel who worshiped the calf had threatened him with death if he cursed the calf they worshiped - Do not shame me before my enemies and do not count me among the wrongdoers!” (Purgatory, 150)
(Musa) tha: "How is your work?", o Samiri?” (Samiriu) he answered: "I saw that, that they did not see. - He had seen Jibreel a.s. on a horse - I took a handful of the footprints of the Messenger and threw it on the calf and thus prompted myself (bad) to do." (Taha, 95-96)
They were the Jews who, after having seen with their own eyes, who knows how many miracles from the hands of Moses, peace be upon him, they worshiped a silver calf, simply because it defiled. They had seen with their own eyes and experienced the nine punishments with which God punished the Egyptians, they had seen the miracle of the opening of the sea etc... and now forget everything.
"love was rooted in their hearts (and worship) for the beef." (Baqarah, 93) Although they appeared and manifested faith, idolatry was rooted in their hearts and nature. This is the true face and nature of the Jews, throughout history. In the end, Musa a.s addressed Samiri with the words:
(Musa) tha: "Then go away! All your life you will have to say:"Don't touch me" But a promise has been assigned to you, which will necessarily be implemented. Look at your lord whom you have worshiped constantly: We will burn him and then throw his ashes into the sea." (Taha, 97)
Some scholars are of the opinion that Musa (peace be upon him) forbade the Benu Israel to misbehave with him. And some others, they think that he was overtaken by a contagious disease, which caused everyone to abandon and distance themselves from him. A promise that will be fulfilled, it is that of the Day of Judgment.
THEN, Musa, peace be upon him, ordered the silver calf to be melted and floated in the sea, and so it happened. After this, Musa (pbuh) addressed his people with the words:"Indeed, Your Lord is only Allah; there is no god but Him; His knowledge includes everything". (Taha, 98)
After all this, Musa (pbuh) prayed to God for his brother Harun.
“Musai and lut: "O Lord! Forgive me and my brother and accept us in Your mercy! You are the Most Merciful of the Merciful”. (Purgatory, 151)
THEN, The exalted God gives instructions to Musa a.s regarding all those who worshiped the calf.
"Those who chose the calf as their lord, the wrath of their Lord and humiliation will overtake them in this life. Thus We punish those who slander." (Purgatory, 152)
Since then, Benu Israel deserved the wrath of God and a life full of humiliation. For this, every time we pray, in the first surah - Fatihan - we pray:"Guide to the right path! In the way of those on whom You have bestowed kindness and not on those who have incurred Your anger, nor in those who are lost!” (Fatiha, 6-7)
The guided, it is the prophets and the honest people who did not deviate from the right path. Those who have incurred the wrath of God, - according to the scholars - they are the ones who knew the truth, but who deliberately abandoned it, those who saw clear miracles from God, yet they worshiped the calf. And the lost ones, they are the ones who lost the truth.
When the silver calf was melted, broke apart and washed into the sea, his admirers realized that they were gravely mistaken. For this, they went to Moses and told him:"We have committed a grave sin and a great injustice. We already want to regret it."
Immediately it was revealed to Moses by God, than all those who have repented, to prove the sincerity of repentance, they had to kill themselves. Anyone who claimed to be truly repentant, he had to kill himself. Says the exalted God regarding this fact:
"..when he told his people: “O my people, you only hurt yourself, when you worshiped the calf as a god! So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill one another! This is better for you in the eyes of your Creator. He forgave your mistake, because He accepts many repentances and is Merciful". (Baqarah, 54)
Some of them accepted this and committed suicide, while the majority refused.
"And, really, you will find them more eager to live than other people, EVEN, even than the pagans." (Baqarah, 96)
For them, it doesn't matter how they live, subjected, unbelievers etc... the important thing is to live. This is the nature of the Jews, for this they fear death very much.
“They will not fight against you together, except in fortified places or behind walls." (Hashr, 14)
Based on this feature, the condition for accepting repentance came to them, suicide. "While those who commit bad deeds and then repent and become believers, know that after that, Indeed your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Purgatory, 153)
Meanwhile, those who refused were cursed, lifelong anger and humiliation.
"And, when Musa's anger passed, took the Plates, in which were written instructions for the right path and mercy for those who fear their Lord." (Purgatory, 154)
After taking the tablets where the Torah was written, Musa, peace be upon him, gathered his people and told them:"In these tablets there are instructions and provisions from the exalted God. They contain Teuratin, therefore listen to them and obey them!”
the Jews said to him:"Read them to us once, if we like them we will act on them, otherwise not.” "We heard, but we oppose!” (Baqarah, 93)
Musa, peace be upon him, repeated the call to them to respect the provisions found in the Torah, however, they refused again. Musa, peace be upon him, asked them for their pledge and word that they would act in accordance with the laws found in the Torah., but they opposed it.
Seeing the stubbornness and rejection of God's laws, Another miracle is given to Musa a.s, which the Jews see with their own eyes. What happened was that the nearest Mt, detached from the country, flies towards them and stands above their heads. Moses, peace be upon him, tells them:"Accept the laws and provisions contained in these tablets, otherwise the mountain will fall on their heads."
Scared, they all prostrated themselves. Then they raised their heads looking at the mountain above and said:"We obey, obey!”
They did not obey until they were threatened and realized the danger. Says God exalted in the Qur'an:
"When we took your allegiance and raised Mount Tur over you, said: "Take seriously what we have given you and listen!" You said: "We heard, but we oppose!” Because of denial, love was rooted in their hearts (and worship) for the beef. Tell: "If you are truly believers, what a bad thing your faith commanded you!” (Baqarah, 93)
"We raised the mountain above them, which looked like a shadow and they believed it would fall on them, and we told them: "Hold fast what we gave you and remember what it contains, that you may be saved from sin." (Purgatory, 171)
They did not obey and did not give their word that they would respect the laws of the Torah, but after they saw that they had no other way. In addition, they were forced to give their word that they would accept any order that came to them from Musa a.s. without wavering.
THEN, Musa, peace be upon him, decided to ask God for forgiveness, for the stubborn nature and rejection of his people, to obey God's laws. For this, he selected seventy men from among those who had not worshiped the calf and set out with them towards Mount Tur, where he would meet God for the third time. Says the exalted Lord:” Then Musa chose from his people seventy men, for Our meeting." (Purgatory, 155)
After they arrived and climbed Mount Tur, the mountain began to sway, so that they were assured that they would die on the spot. This was a clear signal that God was very angry with the Banu Israel.
"When the earthquake hit them, ai tha: "Oh my God! If you wanted, you will destroy them and me from before. For, would you destroy us for what some of the fools among us did?! It was but a trial ordered by You, to lead astray what You want and to guide what You want. You are our Protector, therefore forgive and have mercy! You are the best of the merciful! Appoint us good in this world and the next, because only to You we return." Allah said: "I strike with My punishment whom I will.", while My mercy embraces everything. I will give it to those who guard themselves from sins and give alms, those who believe in Our revelations.”(Purgatory, 155-156)
After these prayers of Musa a.s, the shaking stopped and the mountain calmed down. After this, the mountain they were on was covered in fog. The fog was so thick, that they could not see anything, but they only listened. In those moments, Musa (a.s.) began to ask God for forgiveness regarding the worship of the calf by his people.. The seventy men heard voices but saw nothing. After Musa, peace be upon him, finished his meeting with God, returned to the seventy men, who immediately told him:"You promised us that we would meet God! We don't believe you until we see God with our own eyes."
God says in the Qur'an:"Remember when you said to Musa: “Oh Muse! We won't believe you, until we see Allah openly!” (Baqarah, 55)
Although Musa (pbuh) chose the seventy best men from among the people, they also disappointed him with such demands. They declared that they wanted to see God, that it was not enough to hear voices. This was an open manifestation of their unbelief and stubbornness. Immediately, Musa (pbuh) began to warn them about the consequences of such a request. He also spoke about his experience when he wanted to see God and what happened to the mountain when God appeared to him a little. Yet they insisted on seeing God. "We won't believe you, until we see Allah openly!”
allegedly, they made this request in order to return to the other Jews, to tell them that they had clearly seen the God that Musa, peace be upon him, was talking about. They told him that they would not return to the Banu Israel until they saw God with their own eyes.
Such a request angered God and immediately a lightning struck him, killing them all at once.
"Then a bolt of lightning struck you, while you were watching." (Baqarah, 55)
As we said, these were the best people from the entire population of Banu Israel. How would Musa, peace be upon him, appear before his people?? what would he say about the seventy men he had chosen himself?
Found in such great embarrassment, Musa, peace be upon him, began to beg God to revive them again, since it was very difficult for him to return to the people without these seventy. After successive prayers and full of supplication, God showed him another miracle, where the seventy were raised again.
“After your death, We resurrected you, that you may become thankful.” (Baqarah, 56)
It was miracle after miracle, yet the Banu Israel did not remember. Evil had taken over their hearts and minds. Who is the one who sees these miracles with his own eyes and still does not believe?! God mentions these facts in the Quran, in order to sensitize on the nature of this people. If they behaved in this form with the prophets and messengers of God, can we expect them to respect agreements and promises?! If they have broken the covenant and the promise with God's prophets, they will not respect it with us?! How can we trust them today??! Would you trust such a servant??!
In more than seventy passages in the Qur'an, God narrates the story and shows us the nature of the Benu Israel. This is in order to learn lessons from history and remember. God says in the Qur'an:"You will surely notice that the bitterest enemies of the believers are the Jews and the idolaters." (maid, 82)
Upon Musa's return with the other seventy men to the people, everyone left for the journey, until they came near Jerusalem (Quds), who at that time was known as Elijah. Jerusalem at that time was the capital of the entire region and was ruled by a large and powerful people.. Musa (pbuh) went to Jerusalem in order to take this city, for whoever took Jerusalem into his hand, extended power over the entire region.
When they arrived near the walls of Jerusalem, its inhabitants prepared for war. The people of Musa a.s. were six hundred thousand inhabitants, which scared them. Musa (pbuh) ordered the Benu Israel to attack the city, but they refused. They were justified by the fact that they were slaves, they have been engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry all their lives and are not aware of the war. They had spent four hundred and thirty years under the oppression and hoof of the Egyptians, without fighting. Musa, peace be upon him, reminded them of the pledge they had given him to obey in every situation, but they insisted on theirs. He assured them that if they wanted to attack, they had won the battle and Jerusalem together with the region would fall into their hands. STILL, they disobeyed him.
“O my people! Enter the Holy Land that Allah has appointed for you and do not turn back, that then you will return lost!"They said: “Oh Muse! In that land there is a strong people and we will not enter until they leave, if they come out, we then, we'll definitely get into it". (maid, 21-22)
As long as God has appointed it for us, let the people who rule it go out and we come in without a fight.
Two men from among those who feared Allah and whom He had endowed with goodness, STRESSED: “Enter the city gate! When you go through it, you will surely be a winner. If you are believers, then rely on Allah!” (maid, 23)
About these two men, the interpreters of the Qur'an have different opinions, where many of them wrong. Actually, these two men were no one else, except Musa a.s. and Harun a.s.
What was required of the Benu Israel was only to enter the gate of the city. Upon entering the gate, they would win. STILL, from six hundred thousand souls, No one obeyed Musa and Harun. Even the seventy men who died and rose again, they refused to approach the gate of Jerusalem. Their response was far from any ethics with God's prophets and with the exalted God himself.
"They said: “Oh Muse! We will never go in there, until they are found there. So go you and your Lord fight it, that we will stay here". (maid, 24)
Even today we have people who, when they talk about the prophets, talk as if they were some evil kings and monarchs. When you talk about God's prophets, you have to choose the most appropriate words for their status and position.
"So go you and your Lord fight it, that we will stay here".
Compare this attitude and answer, with that of the Muslims on the day of Badr, when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked them for their opinion on whether they should fight or not. Mikdad's answer was blunt. Ibnu Masudi himself tells:"I wouldn't trade Mikdad's attitude and answer for the whole world and its benefits."
He replied to the Prophet, peace be upon him:"For God, we will not respond as the Jews responded to Musa (pbuh) where they told him:"go, you and your Lord fight it, that we will stay here". but let's say:"Go with your God and fight, because we will also fight together with you."
When he saw the response of his people, Musai a.s yes:
"Oh my God! I have no power for anyone but myself and my brother…”
Thus it is clear that the two men whom God had given them kindness and counseled the people, it was exactly Musa and Harun. After this disappointing attitude, Musa (pbuh) curses them for the first time and prays against his people.
therefore separate us from this disobedient people!” (maid, 25)
God's answer was:
“Allahu tha: "She (the holy ground) it has been forbidden to them for forty years. They will roam the earth perverted, but do not feel sorry for that disobedient people". (maid, 26)
No other people have been punished for such a long period of time. They would be banned from entering Jerusalem for forty years in a row, even though they were promised. These forty years, the Jews would spend them lost in the desert.
When he saw that the Jews would not enter Jerusalem, Musa (pbuh) ordered them to leave from there, and they did so. Their target was a village somewhere nearby, but on the way there they got lost in the desert. Although they had guides who knew the area and the road well, they lived in the same place. After traveling for days, they would return to where they had started. This continued for forty years in a row. Every time a guide claimed to know the way and would take them where they wanted, they lost and returned to where they had been.
The question can rightly be asked: What did all that large number of people feed on?, during forty years?
The exalted God punished them with loss, but he did not want to exterminate them as a people. Although lost in the desert, God supplied them with water and food.
"When his people asked him for water, We told Musa: "Strike the rock with your stick!” and twelve fountains burst forth from him. Each tribe knew its source." (Purgatory, 160)
With one clubbed on a rock, that twelve fountains of water gushed forth there, from one source for each tribe. Wherever they traveled, the Jews carried the rock with them, which did not flow water during the journey. For forty years in a row they were supplied with water in this way.
Although they did not lack water, The Jews complained to Moses about the scorching sun of the desert. Musa (pbuh) asked God to help them and He sent them a cloud that accompanied them wherever they traveled.. But to eat, three meals a day, God supplied them with quails, which came to them every meal. Each of the Jews caught a partridge, slaughtered, he cooked and ate with it. Except the partridges, they were also given another juice which they found in the tree, honey flavored. While some others think that it was white in color and they used it to make bread dough. God says in the Qur'an about this:And We shaded them with clouds and sent down manna and quail, being told: "Eat the good foods we have given you!"They did not harm Us, but they harmed themselves." (Purgatory, 160)
The cow incident
During the forty years that the Jews spent lost in the desert, a series of events occur. One of them is that of the cow, which is mentioned in the Noble Qur'an.
One day, The Benu Israel find a man from their elite killed without knowing who killed him. After they got tired of investigating the killer, they went to Musa a.s. and told him how things stood. Musa, peace be upon him, replied that he did not know who the murderer was, but it was revealed to you by God. Musa a.s. prayed to God and it was revealed to him that in order to teach the murderer they had to slaughter a cow."Remember when Musa said to his nation: "Allah commands you to slaughter a cow!” (Baqarah, 67)
When they heard this, The people were surprised and mockingly told Musa:"We have come to mourn the trouble, whereas you command us to slaughter a cow! what is this??!”
"They said: “Are you going to make fun of us??" - "God protect me!"- said Musa - "let me be one of the ignorant!”. (Baqarah, 67)
When they saw that Moses was serious about this, they asked him for further clarification regarding the cow they had to slaughter:”They said: "Pray to your Lord, to explain to us how it should be!Musai tha:"She should be a cow, not even an old woman, as e re, but medium; for, do what you are commanded!” (Baqarah, 68)
Although the order from the beginning was to slaughter a cow of any kind, they were not satisfied with that. They required certain qualities and characteristics of the cow to be slaughtered. Although the exalted God qualified them, they were not enough, but now they were looking for the color of the cow.
"They said: "Ask your Lord to explain to us what color it should be!Musai tha: “He says it must be a bright yellow cow, which viewers like".(Baqarah, 69)
After searching among the cows, they saw that many cows were of that color and again they turned to Musa a.s:"They said: "Pray to your Lord, to explain to us what type it is, because cows all look the same to us, God willing, we will be guided to the right path". (Baqarah, 70)
Seeing their stubbornness, God made things even more difficult for them.
“Musai Tha: "He says that the cow should not be tired from plowing or watering the land, but be healthy and without any blemish". They said: "Now tell us the truth". so, they slaughtered the cow, but they left the ram without sacrificing.” (Baqarah, 71)
Immediately the Jews began to search around for this cow. After many struggles, they found her qualities only in the cow of an orphan. His relatives, they heard how the work was and advised the orphan not to sell to them except at a very high price. Apart from the rare qualities and traits that this cow had, she was wanted to discover the murderer of a man from the Jewish pariah and at the same time very rich. The Jews go to the orphan and ask him if he will sell the cow. The orphan answers that he sells it, but he demanded as much gold as the weight of a cow. They were speechless at this award and immediately went to Musa a.s. to complain. Por Musai a.s u tha:"It's your own fault! the matter was easier at first when a cow was required to be slaughtered. The other features and details you asked for yourself and now you have to pay for!”
Since the family members of the murdered wanted to know who the killer was, agreed to buy the cow at the price set by the orphan. With this, God enriched and improved the life of the orphan and at the same time punished the stubbornness of the Jews.
They bought the cow and slaughtered it. Then they went to Moses and told him:”And, we slaughtered the cow and we still don't know who killed it." Musa said:"Cut a piece of meat from it and hit the dead body with it!”
"And, after you killed a man and quarreled with each other about him, Allah revealed what you were hiding. We told you: "Touch the slain with a piece of the sacrificed cow!" And so, Allah will raise the dead and show you His miracles, that you may understand."(Baqarah, 72-73)
When they obeyed this order and hit the dead man with the beef, he stood up alive. The dead man who came back to life told them who had killed him and died again. Spotless is He who raises the dead! This was another miracle that was added to the chain of miracles that the Benu Israel saw with their own eyes. STILL, their hearts continued as hard as they had been.
"For, after this, your hearts hardened and became like stone, even stronger. Indeed, there are stones from which rivers flow, there are those that crack and from which water flows, there are even eyes that fall from the fear of Allah. Allah is not unmindful of your actions.” (Baqarah, 74)
Musa and Hidri
One day, Musa, peace be upon him, spoke touching words to his people. In a moment, a man stands up and asks him:”O Muse! Who is the most knowledgeable person on the face of the earth??"Since he was a prophet and messenger of Allah, Musa (peace be upon him) answered:"I." God criticized him for this and showed him that there was someone else more knowledgeable than Musa a.s. I surprised, Musa asked God who this man was and where he could meet him, to benefit from his knowledge. God told him that he can find it at the meeting place of the two seas. Musa (pbuh) asked God for a sign on how to distinguish Hidra from other people. The exalted God told him that he will lose the fish before he meets Hidra.
(Remember) when Musa said to the boy who accompanied him: "I will not stop walking, until I reach the place where the two seas meet, even if I have to travel for a long time.” (Kahf, 60)
The boy who accompanied Musa a.s, it was Joshua, whom most Muslim scholars consider to have been a prophet. It is precisely Joshua who led the Benu Israel after the death of Musa a.s. and Harun a.s.
Musa (pbuh) chose Joshua as his companion on the journey to meet Hidra.
The place where the two seas mentioned in the above verse meet, it is the place where the two branches of the red sea meet.
"And, when they reached the country, where the two seas met, they forgot their fish and it slipped into the sea, opening it up like a tunnel.” (Kahf, 61)
Moses and Joshua had fried fish for lunch, which they had placed in a container. While Moses was sleeping and Joshua was sitting next to him, the fried fish jumps out of the container and squirms into the sea. THEN, Musa a.s. woke up but Joshua forgot to tell him what had happened.
"When they passed on, Musa said to his companion: "Give us our lunch, because we are tired from this journey of ours". (Kahf, 62)
At this moment, Joshua remembers the incident of the fish that jumped out of the bowl into the sea and tells them.
"He answered: "Look! When we stopped at that rock, I forgot the fish. Only the devil made me forget and did not say that the fish made its way out of the sea in a surprising way!” (Kahf, 63)
Musa (pbuh) realized that this was the place where he would meet Hidri, so they returned again, following the tracks from where they had walked..
(Musa) tha: "That's what we're looking for". So they turned back on their tracks, and they found one of Our captives, to whom We bestowed mercy from Us and taught him knowledge from Us. Musa said to him: "Can I follow you?", that you may also teach me something of the righteous knowledge that has been given to you?” (Kahf, 64-66)
The man they found was exactly Hidri, whom most scholars think was a prophet.
"He answered: "You can't stand me! How can you stand it? (without asking) before something I know nothing about"? (Musa) tha: “You will find me patient, God willing, I will not oppose you for anything." (Kahf, 67-69)
Even though Moses, peace be upon him, is among the best prophets and messengers, demonstrated an enviable modesty in front of more knowledgeable people. it, even though all the scholars think that Musa (pbuh) enjoys more values ​​than Hidri. No matter how good the man, knowledgeable and honest to be, modesty manifests before the most knowledgeable.
(Khidr) i tha: "If you come after me, don't ask me about anything, until I explain it!” (Kahf, 70)
Hidri a.s. accepted Musa a.s. as a companion and student, but with one condition: Not to interfere in his actions, no matter how strange and unacceptable they seemed to him. Musa (peace be upon him) accepted this condition and ordered Joshua to return to the Banu Israel. Both, Musa a.s. and Hidri set off on their way. The journey would be by boat, something that God mentions in the Qur'an:"And so, they started. When they boarded a ship, so take him for enemy (Khidr) dug a hole down.” !” (Kahf, 71)
The owners of the ship took Hidri and Musana a.s. on the ship free of charge. On the way, Hidri takes Musa and the two go down to the lower part of the ship, where by means of an iron Hidri immediately begins to drill a hole. Sailors and workers felt the defect that had been caused and immediately began to take measures to save the ship from sinking.. Musa (a.s.) looked surprised by the action of Hidri (a.s.) and could not bear it without telling him:”(Musa) tha: "Is not it?, opened the hole to drown its passengers? Really, you did a very bad job".
(Khidr) i tha: "Didn't I tell you that you can't stand me?"?”
He replied: "Do not scold me for what I forgot and do not burden me with difficulties in my affairs!” (Kahf, 71-73
Musa (a.s.) apologized to Hidri for this intervention and Hidri forgave him. After crossing to the other side, Hidri, peace be upon him, approached a young man, laid it on the ground, took out a knife and stabbed him. It was a monstrous crime that Musa saw with his own eyes. This made him intervene and tell him all his nervousness:
And they both kept walking, until they met a boy, which he (Khidr) killed him. Tha (Musa): "Why did you kill an innocent man who has never killed anyone?"?! You really did a terrible job"! He replied: "Didn't I tell you that you can't stand me?"?” (Kahf, 74-75)
Musa (pbuh) realized that he was wrong again and apologized saying:
(Musa) tha: "If after this I ask you again about anything, then keep me no longer in your company! You already have a reason (enough) the ime caves (to be separated from me)!” (Kahf, 76)
Hidri, peace be upon him, forgave him again and accepted the condition, and the two set off again until they reached a village. Both were hungry and out of habit of hospitality, they went to the houses in the village so that someone would feed them. At that time it was the traveler's right that the inhabitants of a village or city welcome and feed him for three days. The traveler also enjoys this right in Islam, where if a traveler runs out of food and supplies for the road, enjoys the right to stay for three days with any family. If they refuse to feed it, are considered sinners.
Even though Hidri and Musa came as guests and it was their right, the villagers refused to accept them. "And they both kept walking, until they reached a village and asked its inhabitants, to give them to eat, but they did not receive them as guests." Seeing this, Musa and Hidri started to leave this village. On the way out, they noticed a dilapidated house, which had only one wall left without collapsing, but he too was leaning and ready to fall. Immediately, Hidri, peace be upon him, turned the stones and went to work to direct and fix this wall. "There they encountered a wall that was falling down as well (Khidr) directed it." immediately, Musa saw all the wonder. And what does Hidri need to fix a wall that is about to collapse?! Who cares about that wall?! Especially since it was located in a very inhospitable village. THEREFORE, decided to draw his attention to this:(Musa) tha: "If you wanted, you could claim a reward for it.” (Kahf, 77)
If you have decided to fix and direct this wall, at least do it for a reward. Why did you want to fix the wall to a people who don't deserve it and without any reward for the work?!
“Yes: "This is the separation between me and you. I will explain to you those things that you could not bear." (Kahf, 78)
Now is the time to tell you about those things you intervened and couldn't help yourself.
"As for the ship, it was the property of some poor people, who worked at sea. I wanted to hurt him, for behind them was a king who took by force every good ship." (Kahf, 79)
In that region, there was a tyrannical king who appropriated and confiscated the ships he found at sea. And indeed, with the past Hidri and Musa a.s, the king comes with soldiers to confiscate the ship they were on. Having established the crack, they left him and went to the other ships.
"As for the boy, his parents were believers. Ne e dinim se (love for him) would lead them to evil and denial and we wished that their Lord, instead of giving them a better one, purer and more merciful.” (Kahf, 80)
In the infinite knowledge of God, this boy would grow up and turn into a violent beast towards society and his parents. It was God's compassion towards the two parents, for this boy to die before he grows up and does violence to people and parents. Immediately after the death of this child, another son was born to his parents who was loving and respectful to his parents.
“E, as for the wall, he met two orphaned boys in the city and, under it was a treasure of their own. Their father had been a good man, therefore your Lord willed that they should reach the age of maturity and bring out their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord." (Kahf, 82)
For, the wall that Hidri a.s. restored was part of a house which belonged to two orphans. Their father had been an honest and good man. He had hidden a treasure under the last wall that was barely standing, for difficult days. If that wall were to fall too, the treasure would be discovered and unjustly plundered by the people, leaving orphans with a finger in their mouth.
"Their father was a good man” pra, all this divine intervention was done because the father of the two orphans was a good and honest man. We see that good deeds do not only follow the person who does them, but also his family members and descendants. THEREFORE, anyone who loves the good of his children and family, let him be pious with God. Piety has positive effects on the person during his life, but also after death, which lie on the children.
The wall that hid the treasure of the two orphans came down only after they had grown and matured, where they found the treasure and used it for their needs.
"therefore your Lord willed that they should reach the age of maturity and bring out their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord.” (Kahf, 82)
basket, Hidrin affirms the truth on the basis of which he had taken all those unacceptable actions for Musa a.s:
I did not do this at my discretion. This is the explanation of that, for which you could not stand!” (Kahf, 82)
Nothing had happened according to the will of Hidri a.s, but according to God's instructions. so, the knowledge possessed by Hidri a.s. was knowledge related to the invisible world, which the exalted God had taught him. Something like this can only happen to prophets and messengers of God. None of the common people, no matter how knowledgeable they are, they cannot enjoy this privilege. After this event, Musa (peace be upon him) returned to his people.
For forty years in a row, The Benu Israel continued to be lost in the desert. During this period, Harun a.s. dies and is buried in the desert. Two years later, dies and Musa a.s.
In a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari, it is said that Abu Huraira said:"The angel of death was sent to Musa a.s. to ask permission to take his soul. Upon hearing it, Musa, peace be upon him, hit him hard and the angel of death returned to God again and said:"You have sent me to a captive who does not want death. God tells him:"Go to Musa and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox. For every hair under his hand, we will give him a year to live." Immediately the angel of death returned to Musa and showed him the choice that God had given him. Musa asked:"Yes, after all these years, what will happen?God answered:"Death." Musa, peace be upon him, said:"Then let it happen now better."
Before his soul is taken, Musa (pbuh) asked God to bring him as close as a stone's throw to Jerusalem. Abu Huraira says that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, told us:"If I were there (in Jerusalem) I would show them the grave of Musa, peace be upon him. It is located on the side of the road that leads to Jerusalem, to the red dune."
Such was the end of the two honorable prophets, Harun and Musa a.s.
