244 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates
whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (Surat an-Nur, 45)

ALLAH TRIED THE PEOPLE OF
THE PROPHET SALIH (AS) WITH WATER
He (Salih) said, 'Here is a she-camel. She has a time for drinking and
you have a time for drinking – on specified days. (Surat ash-Shu'ara',
155)
We will send the she-camel as a trial for them. Just keep a watchful
eye on them and be steadfast. Inform them that the water is to be
shared out between them, each drinking by turn.' (Surat an-Qamar, 27-
28)

THE PROPHET MUSA (AS) CAST
INTO THE WATER WHEN HE WAS A CHILD
When We revealed to your mother: Place him into the box and throw
it into the sea and the sea will wash it up on the shore, where an enemy
of Mine and his will pick it up." I showered you with love from Me so
that you would be brought up under My supervision. (Surah Ta Ha,
38-39)
We revealed to Musa's mother, 'Suckle him and then when you fear
for him cast him into the sea. Do not fear or grieve; We will return him
to you and make him one of the Messengers.' (Surat al-Qasas, 7)

THE PROPHET MUSA (AS) STRIKES
A DRY PATH THROUGH THE SEA
We revealed to Musa, 'Travel with My servants by night. Strike a dry
path for them through the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken and do
not be afraid.' Pharaoh pursued them with his troops and the sea over-
whelmed them utterly. (Surah Ta Ha, 77-78)
So We revealed to Musa, 'Strike the sea with your staff.' And it split
in two, each part like a towering cliff. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 63)
