I deem thee one\nbewitched, O Moses, and then Moses answered him in carelessness: In truth\nthou knowest that none sent down these (portents) save the Lord of the\nheavens and the earth as proofs, and lo! (for my part) I deem thee lost,\nO Pharaoh. This is from Moses after the soft talk for God said to him and\nto his brother: And speak unto him a gentle word, that peradventure he\nmay heed or fear(TaHa:44).\nWhen Moses came to let him down of the throne of being a god and remove\nthis tyranny and calling to worship the only God, Lord of the creations,\nthe pharaoh desired to kill him and ordered his soldiers to catch him and\nkill him but the Exlated defended him by the way of one who does that,\nso He appointed for him the faithful man of the pharaoh household the one\nwho made his faith a secret and he started to give advices for the pharaoh\nabout the power of God and giving examples for him by the past nations\nand careless to his (the pharaoh) tyranny, for the true faith when tasted\nby the man it will conquer all his feelings and for it he will humiliate\nevery danger in this life, and enough clue about this is the faith of the\nmagicians and their believe in Moses and the Lord of Moses with carelessness\ntoward the pharaoh and his tyranny and whatever he promised for them of\ntorture.\nThe patience for adversities for the sake of God is something that\nbears the good end, those are the Israelites were tested with the hard\nadversities like enslaving and captivating their women and killing their\nchildren, and they had patience for these adversities and troubles and\nhumiliation, and God then made the end for them beautifully as He said:\nAnd the fair word of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel\nbecause of their endurance(Al-A`r\u00e2f:137), and as a clue for what\nwe had pointed out about the conditions of the Israelites what is pointed\nout by the prince of belivers (PUH) in his speech that is called \"Al-Q\u00e2si`ah\"\nabout the adversities coming over the children of Ishmael and Isaac and\nthe Israelites, and he (PUH) said: meditate in their conditions in their\nWandering and separation when the Chosroes and the Caesars were lords for\nthem and owned them from the countrysides and from the sea of Iraq and\nthe greenish of life, and sending them to the poor lands and lands of rough\nwinds and for the hard living, so they left them poor and had nothing but\nwools and camels' hair, the most humiliated among the nations in their\nliving and the poorest in their settling, never come together by the religion\nnor to the shade of an intimacy to depend on its dignity..etc.\nHow honest Moses was and how clement and how much passion did he have\nfor the Israelites, as for God he sent His wrath upon them when they worshipped\nthe calf instead of God and revealed upon them what was to vanish them\nwhen the mountain shaded them and been upon their heads, and also when\nthey asked Moses to see God and God doomed them by the shout and Moses\nprayed to God and said: My Lord! If Thou hadst willed Thou hadst destroyed\nthem long before, and me with them. Wilt thou destroy us for that which\nthe ignorant among us did? It is but Thy trial (of us). Thou sendest whom\nThou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt: Thou art our Protecting Friend,\ntherefore forgive us and have mercy on us, Thou, the Best of all who show\nforgiveness. And ordain for us in this world that which is good, and in\nthe Hereafter (that which is good), Lo! We have turned unto Thee. He said:\nI smite with My punishment whom I will, and My mercy embraceth all things,\ntherefore I shall ordain it for those who ward off (evil) and pay the poor-due,\nand those who believe Our revelations; Those who follow the messenger,\nthe Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described\nin the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them\nthat which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful\nfor them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul(Al-A`r\u00e2f:155-157),\nthis was pointed out by Abdul-Wah\u00e2b in his stories and continued\nsaying, briefly: lot of Israelites immigrated to Hij\u00e2z after they\nhad been in the holy lands, Palestine, and they made it as their home land\nand they did not get back to Egypt that they went out from and they did\nnot choose the lands of Iraq which was the land of their fathers, although\nHij\u00e2z did not have an abundant production compared to other spots,\nso they settled in Khaybar and W\u00e2di Al-Qur\u00e2 (Valley of Villages)\nand Medina, and of them the tribes of Al-Nadheer, Quraydhah and Al-Mustalaq\nand others, and they built there many forts and locations and they were\nmade by separate tribes in these lands, and the question is what did bother\nthem and made them out of their homeland in Palestine and what made them\nseparated from each other and from that holy land?\nIt might be said that what made them separate is their hypocrisy and\ntheir wars against each other and killing each other by their own hands\nand their bad intentions, and when they were with Moses they had many opinions\nas mentioned before, and this is not a hidden thing for he who investigated\nabout them, and after Moses they were divided into two, some of them were\nwith his viceroy Joshua ben Nun and the others were against him, and they\nwere killing each other, and after that they remained like this for long\ntime, and the speech about them will come later on by God's will, and it\nmight be said that they did not go back to Egypt after spending four hundred\nyears there because of what they faced of humiliation in there and they\nwent out of it with fear, and they did not choose Iraq for they were banished\nfrom there and they had no role in it, and even they are pessimistic about\nit as they are so concerning Egypt, and Hij\u00e2z had their cousins the\nchildren of Ishmael ben Abraham (PUT), and they are their inhabitants since\nthe time of Ishmael and his mother Hagar (PUT).\nMaybe the reason for going out of Palestine as well is the invasion\nof the Roman emperor Titus for their lands and destroying the Temple that\nthey were proud of it in front of all the nations and proud of its large\nsize and its building of gold and silver, and yes they were promised for\na prophet that reads not and writes not and found him mentioned in the\nTorah and the Gospel..etc, and he would be sent in Hij\u00e2z from the\nchildren of Ishmael (PUT) and his appearance will be in Medina, so they\nimmigrated to place of his appearance as to wait for him, and this is possible,\nbut when he appeared with miracles and with that eternal miracle, the Holy\nQuran, they did not believe in him and fought against him, and how many\ntimes did they make a covenant with him and broke it, and never fulfilled\na covenant nor a condition until he (the prophet) killed many of them and\nbanished the others, and he was cautious toward them until the end of his\nlife, and they had nothing but the rebellious nature and hypocrisy whever\nthey went, settled or travelled, and God is the leader of His creation\nand His servants and He knows everything.\nThis is the last thing we did like to mention about the conditions\nof His gracious prophet, Moses ben Amram and his brother Aaron, so may\npeace be upon them and upon our prophet and his Household and thank be\nto God the Lord of the worlds.","title":"The Prophets, Their Lives and Their Stories: Moses: Some ...","type":"page"}
