The Children of Israel were Anticipating the Birth of Moses^℗

Before Moses^℗ was sent, the children of Israel were anticipating this great prophet and expected reformer. They would even rejoice in informing each other of his birth and preparing to welcome this blessed newborn who was going to save them from the rule of tyrants and pharaohs. Those tyrants and pharaohs were bitterly anticipating this blessed newborn. They had the goal of rushing to kill and eliminate him before he would grow up and put an end to tyrannical rule, exposing the pharaohs and their false claims and leading the children of Israel to salvation, carrying the words “There is no deity except God” to everyone on the earth. When the years of his promised birth approached, Pharaoh, thinking he would be able to change the way of God, killed the newborn babies of the children of Israel in anticipation of Moses’s^℗ birth. However, God willed to disgrace him and reveal his weakness in the face of divine power and planning, and to have Moses raised in the palace of Pharaoh specifically. So, the one who raised Moses was none other than Pharaoh the tyrant, who sought day and night to eliminate this newborn.

The Almighty says: {[8] The people of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become their enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners. [9] The wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." But they perceived not.}^[80] While Pharaoh and his army were oppressing and humiliating the children of Israel, and killing their children and the best of their people, Moses was growing up in Pharaoh's palace. He saw the injustice and persecution that was going on against the oppressed masses outside the palace and the terrorist and propaganda being plotted inside the palace. The aim of Pharaoh and his army was to demean the masses and force them to obey Pharaoh or, at the very least, accept the current situation and abandon resistance. {Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."}^[81]

Moses^℗ saw the politics of Pharaoh and his party, which entailed stopping the divine religion from spreading, stopping the religious rituals of the children of Israel, and spreading corruption. As a result, the generations brought up in this corrupt environment would be impelled toward corruption and abandonment of religion and observance of the sacred, divine laws. This is the most crucial element on which a tyrant relies during his reign, as it guarantees that the masses abandon God, the True Force and Real Helper, Who can abolish the tyrant and his evil party.
