HAZRAT MOOSA (Alaih-is-Salam)

HAZRAT MOOSA (Alaih-is-Salam) was born in Egypt in the reign of a pharaoh. He was very handsome. But his birth filled his parents with fear, because the king had ordered every Israelite child to be put to death. They concealed him for a few days. And when they could not, they placed him in a wooden box and dropped it into the Nile. It flowed by the royal place. The queen saw it, and she ordered it to be brought to her. She opened it and was delighted to see the handsome child. She obtained the king’s permission to bring him up as her own son, because she had none. When he grew up into a young man, he killed a cruel Egyptian and ran away for fear of being killed in return. On his way to an unknown place, he married a daughter of Hazrat ‘ Shuaib Alaih-is-Salam. He had the honour to have a talk with Allah on Mount Sinai. He is, therefore, called Kaleem Ullah. God made him a prophet, and he returned to Egypt to preach the religion of God. Pharaoh and his followers saw his miracles and heard his sermons. But they refused to acknowledge him as a prophet. He had to leave Egypt with the rest of his race. They were pursued by pharaoh and his force. Hazrat Moosa and his companions crossed the Nile, because of His kindness; but pharaoh and his men were all drowned.
