Why?
The story of Musa (AS) teaches us the importance of trusting Allah; it demonstrates that Allah’s plans will overcome any triumph, test, or trial, and it shows us that there is no relief from the torments of this world except with remembrance and through seeking nearness to Allah. Reading and studying the life of Musa (AS) reveals that Allah can replace weakness with strength and failure with victory; and that Allah supports the righteous from sources we can barely imagine.
