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)
