Divine Protection of Prophet Moses

Surah Taha, ayat 39 describes how the mother of Prophet Moses (pbuh) is instructed by Allah to place her infant son in a chest and cast him into the river. Allah assures her that the river will carry him to safety, where he will be raised by his enemies who are also the enemies of Allah. This event sets the stage for Moses’ upbringing in the palace of Pharaoh and his eventual mission as a prophet.

اَنِ اقْذِفِیْهِ فِی التَّابُوْتِ فَاقْذِفِیْهِ فِی الْیَمِّ فَلْیُلْقِهِ الْیَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ یَاْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّیْ وَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهٗؕ-وَ اَلْقَیْتُ عَلَیْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّیْ ﳛ وَ لِتُصْنَعَ عَلٰى عَیْنِیْﭥ(39)

Supplication for Increasing Knowledge

The books of tafseer mention that when the angel Gabriel descended upon the Prophet to reveal Quranic verses, the Prophet, out of concern for forgetting them and his eagerness for people to memorize the Quran, would swiftly convey the verses before Gabriel finished delivering them entirely. In response, Allah revealed Sura Twaha, verse 114, instructing the Prophet not to rush with the Quran but to allow the angel to fully convey the verses before sharing them with others. This highlights the importance of patience and careful consideration in delivering the divine message to humanity.

فَتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّۚ-وَ لَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یُّقْضٰۤى اِلَیْكَ وَحْیُهٗ٘-وَ قُلْ رَّبِّ زِدْنِیْ عِلْمًا(114)

The Story of Hazrat Adam and Eve

Surat Taha, verses 115-123 recount the story of Hazrat Adam and Eve (peace be upon them) and their encounter with Satan in Paradise. Allah had instructed Adam not to approach a certain tree, but Satan tempted them, leading them to disobey Allah’s command. Consequently, they felt shame. And Allah expelled them from Paradise. Despite this, Allah showed them mercy and guided them back to the right path. These verses serve as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of seeking Allah’s guidance to avoid misguidance and misery.

The Link Between Faith and Well-Being

Surah Taha, 124-126 verses underscore the correlation between belief in the Hereafter and one’s quality of life. Allah emphasizes that those who turn away from His remembrance will endure misery. He will resurrect them blind on the Day of Judgment. Conversely, those who have faith in Allah and trust in Him find solace and security from worldly worries. These verses encapsulates the profound message of seeking spiritual refuge in Allah to alleviate life’s burdens.
