🎧 Listen to this chapter (3 min)
The story of Prophet Musa (AS) and his dua is indeed full of profound lessons. Here are some key takeaways:
1. Selfless Service and Sincere Intentions: Out of all the greatness, Prophet Musa (AS) used to help the women, and he has never asked for anything in return for them. The life of the prophets gave us the learning of good deeds. We should help mankind just for Almighty Allah (SWT) and should not ask for anything in return because Allah (SWT) is looking after all the good and bad deeds.
2. Gratitude and Contentment: No matter how huge or small, Prophet Musa (AS) has always been grateful to Allah (SWT), even in his challenging circumstances. This taught us that whatever we have is a gift from Allah (SWT). We should always be grateful for all that we have, no matter how tough things get.
3. Seeking Allah (SWT)’s Assistance: Prophet Musa (AS) used to pray and make duas after he helped the women. It gave us the learning of how crucial it is to show all reliance on Him and that we should always turn to him whenever we are needy of anything.
4. Responding to Opportunities to Do Good: Prophet Musa (AS) ignored his sufferings and helped women tirelessly; he never thought about his miserable situation. It gives us a learning of looking for ways to help people, for helping mankind brings Allah (SWT) closer to us.
5. Acceptance of Allah (SWT)’s Provisions: Prophet Musa (AS) did not beg for more from Allah (SWT); instead, he was happy with what he had. It taught us that we must put all of our faith in Allah (SWT) and be grateful for what we have. We should know that Allah (SWT) is completely aware of what is best for us.
6. Allah (SWT) ’s Response to Sincere Dua: When Allah (SWT) sent a woman with an invitation to Prophet Musa (AS), it was a learning for all mankind that Allah (SWT) is always listening to us, and he will listen to all the honest request and rewards us with what is best for us.
This inspiring story is a motivation for us. It encourages us to remain honest with ourselves, be grateful to Allah (SWT), and rely on Him in every situation.
