A Brief on “The Story”
Chapter “Qasas”- (The Story) - 28
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah
from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
According to Qur’anic Order, this is 28th
Chapter. It was revealed in Makkah during adjoining the days of
departure towards Madinah. One verse of this Chapter was revealed in the
journey of flight and four verses were revealed in Madinah. Reason of naming
this Chapter as “Qasas” (The Story) is that the story of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon him) has been described in it. The people of Makkah used
to oppress the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). The
Muslims were very less in numbers and sometimes the Infidels used to annoy them
so much that it used to become difficult for them to tolerate. It was
miraculous influence of Holy Qur’an that Messenger of Allaah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his Companions
(May Allaah be pleased with them) used to put a bold front against
severest afflictions face to face and their courage did never become less in
any sense.
In this Chapter, it has been described to them: Entire troubles
and distresses are only for a few days. The time of success will come very soon
by the Grace of Allaah Almighty. For encouraging the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his Companions (May Allaah
be pleased with them), complete circumstances in respect of Moses (peace be
upon him) have been explained in this Chapter. He (peace be upon him) was born
in Egypt in an honorable family of the Children of Israel. The condition was it
that the King of Egypt (Pharaoh) had ordered: If any boy is born in any house
of the Children of Israel, Kill him immediately! In reality, he had already entangled
the Children of Israel in various afflictions but this oppression was an act of
increasing their misfortunes. Mother of Moses (peace be upon him) was fearful
that as soon as the policemen of Pharaoh will come to know, they will kill this
child (Moses).
Allaah Almighty inspired a new matter in her heart; upon which she
acted. It was the result that Moses (peace be upon him) was brought up under
the supervision of Pharaoh himself. After that when he (peace be upon him) was
a young, ran away from the City due to one sudden accident. After undergoing
many sufferings, he reached Median and met Shu-eyb (peace be upon them).He
passed ten years in his service (peace be upon them). When he (peace be upon
him) was returning, Prophet-hood was bestowed to him. Then he was commanded that
he should drive the Children of Israel out from Egypt for saving them from the
tyrannies of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh began to molest Moses (peace be upon him) and his folk
more than earlier and they endured with patience. Then, Allaah Almighty
commanded: Leave the City by night along with the Children of Israel! Pharaoh
and his Army followed them and they were drowned by the Command of Allaah
Almighty. The Children of Israel got freedom and became rulers from subjects.
This result was to be remembered from it that like this, the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his Companions (May Allaah
be pleased with them) will be saved from the tyrannies of the Idolaters of Makkah.
And after becoming rulers, they will spread peace in this Holy City.
