Ta Sin Mim

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

These are the verses of the Scripture that makes things clear:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We recount to you [Prophet] part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh, setting out the truth for people who believe.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Pharaoh made himself high and mighty in the land and divided the people into different groups: one group he oppressed, slaughtering their sons and sparing their women––he was one of those who spread corruption––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but We wished to favour those who were oppressed in that land, to make them leaders, the ones to survive,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

to establish them in the land, and through them show Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies the very thing they feared.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We inspired Moses’ mother, saying, ‘Suckle him, and then, when you fear for his safety, put him in the river: do not be afraid, and do not grieve, for We shall return him to you and make him a messenger.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Pharaoh’s household picked him up––later to become an enemy and a source of grief for them: Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies were wrongdoers––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and Pharaoh’s wife said, ‘Here is a joy to behold for me and for you! Do not kill him: he may be of use to us, or we may adopt him as a son.’ They did not realize what they were doing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The next day, Moses’ mother felt a void in her heart––if We had not strengthened it to make her one of those who believe, she would have revealed everything about him––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and she said to his sister, ‘Follow him.’ So she watched him from a distance, without them knowing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We had ordained that he would refuse to feed from wet nurses. His sister approached them and said, ‘Shall I tell you about a household which could bring him up for you and take good care of him?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We restored him to his mother in this way, so that she might be comforted, not grieve, and know that God’s promise is true, though most of them do not know.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When Moses reached full maturity and manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge: this is how We reward those who do good.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He entered the city, unnoticed by its people, and found two men fighting: one from his own people, the other an enemy. The one from his own people cried out to him for help against the enemy. Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said, ‘This must be Satan’s work: clearly he is a misleading enemy.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me,’ so He forgave him; He is truly the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘My Lord, because of the blessings You have bestowed upon me, I shall never support those who do evil.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Next morning, he was walking in the city, fearful and vigilant, when suddenly the man he had helped the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said, ‘You are clearly a troublemaker.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

As he was about to attack the man who was an enemy to both of them, the man said, ‘Moses, are you going to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You clearly want to be a tyrant in the land; you do not intend to put things right.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Then a man came running from the furthest part of the city and said, ‘Moses, the authorities are talking about killing you, so leave- this is my sincere advice.’
