The history of Musa and Feroun in the eye of Islam

History of Feroun in the eye of Islam.

Feroun named Pharah (2^nd Remises) was the monarch of Egypt during the time of the honored Prophet Musa (Kalimallahi) -(peace be upon him).

And [remember] when we parted the sea for you (Musa) and saved you and your companions and downed feroun with all the people of Feroun while you were looking on. Al-Qur’an 2:50


   But We will this day carry you with your dead body that you may be a sign to those after you, and most surely the majority of the people are heedless to our communications. Al-Qur’an 28:40]

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Feroun and his soldiers pursued them in oppression and enmity until, while drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
Now? And you had been disobeyed [on Him] previous to and were of the corrupters?
So today we will save you in body that you may be to those who be successful you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of our signs, are neglectful.
Al-Qur’an 10:90-92

Imam Bin Kathie’s exegesis.
The influence took them up and down. The wave’s accumulated above Feroun; he was weighed down by the stupors of death. While in this state he said, "I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."

We know According to Islamic tradition; Musa was born into a famous family of Israelites living in Egypt. He was so poor but honest and the honored prophet Allah. Of his family, Islamic tradition generally comes after his father 'Imran, equivalent to the Amram of the Bible, and traditional genealogies name Levi as his ancestor. ^[12] Islam states that Musa was born in a time when the ruling Feroun had enslaved the Israelites after the time of the prophet Joseph (Prophet Yusuf). Around the time of Musa’s' birth, Islamic literature described that the Feroun had a great dream, in which he saw fire coming from the city of Jerusalem. Which was burning everything in his territory except Israelites?^[13]Islamic tradition says that when the Pharaoh was given information that one of the male children would grow up to overthrow him, he become angry and he ordered to prevent the prediction from going on.^[14] Islamic literature further says that the experts of economics in Pharaoh's court advised him that killing the male baby of the Israelites would result in loss of manpower.^[15] Therefore, they recommended that the male child should be killed in one year but safe the next.^[15] Aaron was born in the year in which baby were safe, while Musa was born in the year in which baby they could not kill.

On the Nilnod

Islamic tradition says, Musa’s mother suckled him in secret during this period. The Qur'an codes that when they were in danger of being caught God encouraged her to keep him in a basket and set him floating on the Nilenod. She instructed her daughter to follow the course of the ark and to report back to her. As the daughter followed the ark along the riverbank, Musa was discovered by the Feroun's wife, Asiya, who influenced the Pharaoh to adopt him. The Qur'an coded that when Asiya ordered wet nurses for Musa, Moses denied being breastfed. Islamic tradition coded that this was because God had prohibited Musa from being fed by any wet nurse as to reunite his mother with him. His sister became sad that Musa had not been fed for some point in time consequently; she appeared to the Pharaoh and taught him that she knew someone, who could feed him. ^[20] Islamic tradition coded that after being questioned, she was ordered to bring the woman being discussed. ^[20] The sister brought their mother who fed Moses and afterward she was selected as the wet nurse of Moses. ^[21]

Test of prophecy

According to Isra'iliyat hadith, through his childhood while Moses was playing on Feroun's leg, he grabbed the Pharaoh's body hair. This action encouraged the Pharaoh to think about Moses as the Israelite who would conquer him. The Pharaoh determined to kill Moses but stopped after the Pharaoh's wife interceded and argued that he was just an infant, and we can take care of it as our baby.^[22] Two plates were set before young Moses, one contained rubies and the other held glowing coals.^[22] Moses reached out for the rubies, but the angel Gabriel directed his hand to the coals. Moses grabbed a shining coal and put it in his mouth, burning his tongue. ^[23] After the event Moses suffered from a speech defect, but was safe by the Pharaoh

Escape to Median

After having reached adulthood, the Qur'an coded that when Moses was passing by a city, he came across an Egyptian fighting with an Israelite. The Israelite wanted to know for his help against the Egyptian. Moses attempted to intervene and became mixed up in the argument.^[26] In Islamic convention, Moses struck the Egyptian in a state of anger which resulted in his death.^[27] Moses wanted forgiveness to Allah and the next day, he again came across the same Israelite fighting with another Egyptian. The Israelite again asked Moses for help, and as Moses approached the Israelite, he reminded Moses of his manslaughter, and wanted to know if Moses intended to kill him. Moses was informed and the Pharaoh gave permission on Moses to be killed. However, Moses fled away to the desert after being alerted to his punishment.^[14] According to Islamic tradition, after Moses arrived in Median, he witnessed two female shepherds driving back their flocks from a well.^[28] Moses approached them and inquired about their work as shepherds and their retreat from the well. Upon hearing their answers and the old age of their father, Moses watered their flocks for them.^[28] The two females returned to their home and informed their father of the event. The Quran states that Moses was invited by them for a feast. At that feast, their father asked Moses to work for him for a period of eight or ten years, coming back for marriage to one of his daughters.^[26] Moses consented and worked hard for him for the period.^[26]  We love Musa very much as prophet of Islam.
