"The Story of Prophet Musa(a:s): From Birth to the Exodus"







Prophet Musa (Moses) is recognized as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and he is also known as Moses. His name appears more frequently in the Quran compared to other prophets. Musa is believed to have lived around 120 years. He was born into the Banu Isra'il (Children of Israel) community. Musa performed numerous miracles, and his miracles were more numerous and prominent compared to those of other prophets. The behavior of the Banu Isra'il was also more difficult compared to other communities.

According to the Hebrew Bible, Musa was born into the Levite tribe in Egypt, with his father being Amram and his mother Jochebed. At the time, the Pharaoh of Egypt was Ramses. Some astrologers predicted that a child born to the Israelites would pose a threat to Egypt, so Ramses ordered the killing of all male Israelite infants. Consequently, Jochebed placed Musa in a small basket and set it adrift on the Nile. Musa’s sister Miriam followed the basket until it reached a place where Pharaoh’s daughter, Batya, was bathing. Moved by the sight of the baby, Batya rescued Musa and took him to the palace. Miriam then offered to find a nurse for the baby, and Batya agreed. Thus, Jochebed was able to nurse her own son while living in the palace.

Allah commands in Surah Al-Qasas (28:7) to nurse the baby Musa and, if necessary, to place him in the river without fear. Allah promises to return him and make him a prophet. Musa was very beautiful, and Pharaoh's wife, Asiya, became deeply affectionate towards him. Though Pharaoh initially ordered the child’s death, Asiya intervened, and Musa was allowed to stay.

Musa grew up in the palace, but as an adult, he witnessed an Egyptian beating an Israelite. In an attempt to intervene, he accidentally killed the Egyptian. Fearing for his life, Musa fled to Midian, where he helped two women water their flock. The women’s father, Shu'ayb (Jethro), welcomed Musa, and Musa eventually married one of his daughters and worked for him for several years.

After completing his term, Musa set out with his family to return to Egypt. During his journey, he saw a burning bush on Mount Sinai, which was not consumed by the fire. This was a divine sign. Allah spoke to Musa from the bush, instructing him to remove his shoes and revealed His divine message to him. Musa was commanded to go to Pharaoh and demand the release of the Israelites from slavery.

Musa was given miraculous signs to demonstrate to Pharaoh, including turning his staff into a serpent. These signs were meant to convince Pharaoh of Allah’s power and to release the Israelites.
