ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا

7:103 Episodes from the life of Moses are told in many places in the Holy Qur’ân, but each time with a special lesson in accompanying them. In 2:49-71 the narration is an example of those who incurred Allâh’s displeasure, with an appeal to the Jews from their own Scriptures and traditions to show them their true place in the religious history of humankind and how they forfeited their favoured status . After mentioning small episodes from the lives of other Prophets, a more detailed description is given from the accounts of Moses. This is because in the narration of Moses, the careful reader will find instructive parallels to the mission of the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
