    Allah describes the misguidance of those who worshipped the calf that As-Samiri made for them from the ornaments they borrowed from the Copts. He made the shape of a calf with these ornaments and threw in it a handful of dust from the trace of the horse that the Angel Jibril was riding, and the calf seemed to moo.

     

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    1. “And the people of Musa made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of a calf (for worship). It had a sound. They took it (for worship) and they were wrongdoers”

    This occurred after Musa Alaihissalaam went for the appointed term with his Lord, where Allah told him about what happened when he was on Mount Tur.

    (149. And when they regretted and saw that they had gone astray, they said: “If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall certainly be of the losers”)

    (150. And when Musa returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said: “What an evil thing is that which you have done during my absence. Did you hasten in matter of your Lord” And he threw down the Tablets and seized his brother by (the hair of) his head and dragged him towards him for Musa feared that Harun might have not tried hard enough to forbid them from their evil action.

    He (Harun) said: “O son of my mother! Indeed the people judged me weak and were about to kill me, so make not the enemies rejoice over me, nor put me among the people who are wrongdoers.”

    When Musa Alaihissalaam was satisfied that his brother was innocent, he made this supplication.

    (151. He (Musa) said: “O my Lord! Forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.”)

    (And Harun indeed had said to them beforehand: “O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order.”) 20:90

    Allah tells us that when Musa Alaihissalaam killed that Coptic,he became afraid of the consequences of his action. He went out and about, and saw the man who sought his help the day before, fighting with another Coptic. When Musa Alaihissalaam passed by him, he called for his help again, against this other Coptic

    Musa Alaihissalaam said to him:

    (Verily, you are a plain misleader!) meaning, `you obviously lead people astray and are very evil.’

    Then Musa Alaihissalaam intended to attack that Coptic, but the Israelite — because of his own cowardice and weakness — thought that Musa Alaihissalaam wanted to hit him because of what he had said, so he said, in self-defence .

    (O Musa Alaihissalaam! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man yesterday) Nobody except him and Musa Alaihissalaam, peace be upon him, knew about it, but when the other Coptic heard this, he took the news to Fir`awn’s gate and told him about it. So Fir`awn came to know of it, and he became very angry and resolved to kill Musa Alaihissalaam, so he sent people after him to bring him to him.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (20. And there came a man running, from the farthest end of the city. He said: “O Musa Alaihissalaam! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape. Truly, I am one of the good advisers to you.”)

    When the man told Musa Alaihissalaam about how Fir`awn and his chiefs were conspiring against him, he left Egypt on his own. He was not used to being alone, because before that he had been living a life of luxury and ease, in a position of leadership.

    At that point,he made this dua.

    (My Lord! Save me from the people who are wrongdoers!) means, from Fir`awn and his chiefs. It was mentioned that Allah sent to him an angel riding a horse, who showed him the way. And Allah knows best.

    (And then he went towards (the land of) Madyan,) he took a smooth and easy route — and he rejoiced because of that.

    (he said: “It may be that my Lord guides me to the right way.”) meaning, the most straight route. And Allah did indeed do that, for He guided him to the straight path in this world and the Hereafter, and caused him to be guided and to guide others.

  • Dua for Success and protection from your Enemies and Evil people

    Here is a dua for Success and protection from your enemies,haters and evil peopledua17q

    “Our Lord, indeed we fear that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress.”

    رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

    Rabbanaa innanaa nakhaafu an yafruta ‘alaynaa aw an yatghaa

    Surah Ta-ha ,verse 45

    This is the prayer of Prophet Musa Alaihissalaam.

    It can be recited for:-

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

     

    Musa Alaihissalaam had lived among the people of Madyan, avoiding Fir`awn and his chiefs. He worked as a shepherd for his father-in-law until the appointed time for his work ended. Then he met the decree of Allah and His predetermined will, without him having any set appointment. This entire situation was under the control of Allah, Blessed be He, the Most High.

     

    Then, Allah said to Musa Alaihissalaam Alaiihssalaam and his brother,

    (43. Go both of you to Fir`awn, verily, he has transgressed.) (44. And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allah).)

     

    (45. Both of them said: “Our Lord! Verily, we fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress.”)

    Allah, the Exalted, informs that Musa Alaihissalaam and Harun pleaded to Allah, expressing their grievance to him:

     

    They meant that Fir`awn might seize them unexpectedly with a punishment, or transgress against them by tormenting them, when they actually did not deserve it.

     

    Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said that transgress here means, “To exceed the bounds.”

     

     

    (He (Allah) said: “Fear not, verily, I am with you both, hearing and seeing.”) meaning; “Do not fear him (Fir`awn), for verily, I am with you and I hear your speech and his speech as well. I see your place and I see his place as well. Nothing is hidden from Me of your affair. Know that his forehead is in My Hand, and he does not speak, breathe, or use any force, except by My leave and after My command. I am with you by My protection, My help and My support.”

    When Musa Alaihissalaam reached Madyan and went to drink from its water, for it had a well where shepherds used to water their flocks,he found there a group of men watering, and besides them he found two women who were keeping back. They were stopping their sheep from drinking with the sheep of those shepherds, lest some harm come to them.

    When Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, saw them, he felt sorry for them and took pity on them.

    (He said: “What is the matter with you”) meaning, `why do you not water your flocks with these people’

    They said: “We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take (their flocks). meaning, `we cannot water our flocks until they finish.’

    (And our father is a very old man.) means, `this is what has driven us to what you see.’

    (24. So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: “My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!”)

     

     

    Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Mas`ud and As-Suddi said: “He sat beneath a tree.” `

     

    Ata’ bin As-Sa’ib said: When Musa Alaihissalaam said this dua,the women heard him.

    (25. Then there came to him one of them, walking shyly. She said: “Verily, my father calls you that he may reward you for having watered (our flocks) for us.” So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: “Fear you not. You have escaped from the people who are wrongdoers.”) (26. And said one of them (the two women): “O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.”)

    One of the two daughters of the man said this, and it was said that she was the one who had walked behind Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him.

    Her father said to her, `What do you know about that’ She said to him, `He lifted a rock which could only be lifted by ten men, and when I came back with him, I walked ahead of him, but he said to me, walk behind me, and if I get confused about the route, throw a pebble so that I will know which way to go.”’ `Abdullah (Ibn Mas`ud) said, “The people who had the most discernment were three: Abu Bakr’s intuition about `Umar; the companion of Yusuf Alaihissalaam when he said, `Make his stay comfortable’; and the companion of Musa Alaihissalaam , when she said:

     

    (O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.).”

     

     

    (27. He said: “I intend to wed one of these two daughters of mine to you, on condition that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten years, it will be (a favor) from you. But I intend not to place you under a difficulty. If Allah wills, you will find me one of the righteous.”) (28. He (Musa Alaihissalaam ) said: “That (is settled) between me and you: whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.”)

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ali bin Rabah Al-Lakhmi said, “I heard `Utbah bin An-Nadar As-Sulami, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah narrating that the Messenger of Allah said:

     

    (Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, hired himself out for the purpose of keeping chaste and to feed himself.)

    When Allah commanded Prophet Musa Alaihissalaam to go to Fir`awn to convey the Message of Allah, Musa Alaihissalaam made this dua. He requsted his Lord to expand his chest for his mission. For verily, He was commanding him with a great task and a weighty affair. He was sending him to the mightiest king on the face of the earth at that time. He was the most arrogant and severe of all people in his disbelief, and He had the largest army and the most powerful kingdom. He was the most tyrannical and the most obstinate of rulers. His case was such that he claimed not to know Allah at all, and that he knew of no god for his subjects other than himself. Along with this, Musa lived in his home for a period of time as a child. He stayed in Fir`awn’s own room and slept on his bed. Then, after this, he killed one of their people and feared that they would retaliate by killing him in return. Thus, he fled from them and remained an outlaw during this entire time. Then, after all of this, His Lord sent him to them as a warner calling them to worship Allah alone, without associating partners with Him.

     

    This is why he said,

     

    (O my Lord! Open for me my chest, and ease my task for me.) This means, “I cannot perform this task if You do not help me, aid me and support me.”

    (And loosen the knot from my tongue, that they understand my speech.) This is referring to the lisp that he had. This lisp was a result of an incident when he was presented a date and a hot coal stone and he placed the coal on his tongue instead of the date.

    However, he did not ask Allah to remove this affliction all together. Rather, he asked for removal of his stammering so the people would understand what he intended in his speech. He was only asking for what was necessary to deliver his message. If he had asked for the removal of his affliction in its entirety, it would have been cured for him. However, the Prophets do not ask for any more than what is required. Therefore, he was left with the remnants of this accident that took place with his tongue.

    Allah informed of what Fir`awn said concerning him,

    (Am I not better than this one who is despicable and can scarcely express himself clearly)﴿43:52﴾ This means that he is not eloquent in speech.

     

    When Musa Alaihissalaam made this supplication,(36. (Allah) said: “You are granted your request, O Musa!”)
