rom this verse, it is clear that Musa (as) did not bring his young
F F servant along on this journey. There could be a number of good
reasons for this, such as to emphasize the importance of one-to-
one education, which is the best form of education. People try-
ing to learn in a crowded environment easily lose their concentration and
find it hard to refocus. Even when there are three people, one is easily dis-
tracted and finds it hard to concentrate. For this reason, the Qur’an hints at
one-to-one education, for such a method makes it easy to concentrate and
pay attention. Moreover, such direct communication with the instructor
enables the student to learn more efficiently. This is why the benefits of pri-
vate education, recognized around the world, are important.
Another matter is mentioned: Musa knows Khidhr’s (as) value and that
he is commanded to do much good.
This situation, like all others, takes place in destiny. Khidhr (as) had
said that Musa (as) would become impatient, and thus one part of the
knowledge of the future given to him was fulfilled. On the other hand,
Musa (as) asks the question because it is written in his destiny. This is
called a "zallah" (a slip or error made by a Prophet or Messenger). Such
mistakes are part of the Prophets’ and Messengers’ destinies, because they
lead ultimately to goodness and wisdom. By these verses, Allah informs
us that such mistakes, whose time and place are known in destiny, can
occur.
