of attitude towards the Prophet Moses (pbuh) which is incompatible with
respect. However, no matter what befalls him, a sincere believer feels grate-
ful to Allah, and submits himself to everything that Allah had predetermined
for him. In times of trouble, hardship, hunger or even under oppression or
torture, a Muslim must always be in such a state of spiritual submission. This
state of mind was explained by Allah's Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad
(May Allah bless him and grant him peace) with the words "Praise be to
Allah Who created everything as is necessary, who does not hasten anything
He defers and determines. Allah is enough for me and sufficient." (Ibn
Majah) Only such submission and putting one's trust in Allah can change
troubles into great spiritual blessings.
With the example of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), Allah shows us that
the majority of the Children of Israel lacked moral perfection and the pro-
fundity of faith. As Allah. Allah informs us of these events that we may take
lessons from them. Just as in the case of the denial of Pharaoh, so in the
weak faith and ill-hearts of some of the Children of Israel is there a lesson
for us.
