Araf 136
136- WE TOOK VENGEANCE OF THEM, WE DROWNED THEM IN THE SEA, THIS IS BECAUSE THEY REJECTED OUR AYAHS, IGNORED AND DID NOT TAKE HEED OF THEM.
Allah the Highest commanded His messenger Moses, peace upon him, to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and told Moses that that they would be followed by pharaoh and his army. Allah the Highest said: “AND WE REVEALED TO MOSES TO MARCH WITH MY SLAVES, AND YOU WILL BE FOLLOWED”. (S: 26 A: 25)
The army of pharaoh, caught up with the Moses and the Children of Israel, until the two groups were able to see each other, and the Children of Israel thought that pharaoh’s army would catch them up. However, Moses was very certain that Allah’s help was forthcoming, they were at the shore of the Red Sea, Allah the Highest said: “WHEN THE TWO GROUPS SAW EACH OTHER, MOSES COMPANIONS SAID: WE WILL BE CAUGHT * HE SAID: NO, BUT MY LORD IS WITH ME AND HE WILL GUIDE ME * WE INSPIRED MOSES TO STRIKE THE SEA WITH HIS STICK, AND IT SPLIT, AND EACH SIDE WAS LIKE A GREAT MOUNTAIN”. (S: 26 A: 61-63)
Moses struck the sea, and it split in the middle, and Moses and his people marched to the other side walking on the sea bed. Pharaoh’s army went after them; pharaoh did not see the sea splitting as another sign to save the Children of Israel. As the Moses and the Children of Israel crossed safely to the other side, and when the whole of pharaoh’s army were marching on the sea bed, to follow them, Allah the Highest commanded the sea to go back to how it was, the two sides of the sea came together again and drowned pharaoh and his army.
The trust Moses, peace upon him, had in Allah the Highest, that he will be on his side and will help him, should be remembered and learned from. A believer should always has his trust in Allah’s support for him, and never despair. Yet, the believer should always do his best, and use all means and precautions to achieve his end, as long as his goal is good and just. Allah’s help will come in His good time, regardless of the odds.
Adverse circumstances, and adverse conditions, are not obstacles to Allah the Highest, and no one should think to himself “how would Allah help me under these circumstances?” The how is not our business.
