( (Surat al-Qamar, 49-50) )
Spirit and the angels stand
in ranks, no one will speak,
except for him who is au-
thorized by the All-
Merciful and says what is
right. (Surat an-Naba’, 37-
38)
As we mentioned earlier, Allah creates forgetting as well as remem-
bering, and rules over all of our mental activities, be they past, present,
or future. It was written in Musa’s (as) destiny that he would forget and
that he would ask a question that he was not supposed to. No one can
gain control over his or her brain and prevent forgetfulness or saying
the words that have been written in his or her destiny. Allah makes peo-
ple forget whatever and whenever He wills them to. He can take away
all memory or, if He wills, place within one’s memory the knowledge of
things not known before. All of these happen by His will.
From Musa’s (as) request "do not demand of me something that is
too difficult," we understand that he does not want his education to be
terminated.
