Moses^℗ Fought for God’s Cause and Migrated to God, a Prophet Calling Others to God

The Almighty says:

{[14] When he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed

upon him judgment and knowledge. Thus do We reward the doers of good. [15] He entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found two men fighting therein: one from his faction and one from among his enemies. The one from his faction called to him for help against his enemy. Moses struck him and killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy." [16] He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. [17] He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals." [18] He became fearful within the city, anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who had sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator." [19] When he [Moses] wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the reformers." [20] Then, a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am a sincere advisor to you." [21] So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people." [22] And when he directed himself toward Midian, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."}^[82]

Moses^℗ entered the battlefield of life, finding the injustice of the tyrant Pharaoh, who oppressed the masses of the children of Israel and the Egyptians. How could Moses^℗, the purified, the Prophet and awaited savior that the children of Israel knew about, stay in Pharaoh’s palace supporting him, even if he was just being silent regarding his oppression and the increasing multitude? God had willed for an incident to take place: the killing of one of Pharaoh’s oppressive guards and soldiers. This incident greatly affected Moses^℗ because he sought refuge with the Truth,^[83] seeking forgiveness and repenting to Him for what he considered to be a sin-living in the palace of the tyrant Pharaoh, the father who raised him^℗. When God Almighty forgave him, Moses made a promise to God, due to His blessing of forgiveness, never to support a murderer or an oppressor, not even by placating or being silent about his oppression. Therefore, it was necessary after this incident for Moses^℗ to migrate to God. He left the city frightened and watching his back, remaining absent from the children of Israel for ten years. He spent this time in the land of Midian, living a simple, quiet life with the great prophet Shuaib^℗, looking after flocks of sheep, and learning a great deal so he could return to the children of Israel as a brave, divine leader and Prophet who calls to God. This was so he could lead the believers and save them from the tyranny of Pharaoh and the marginalization and degradation they faced in Egypt. Moses^℗ crossed the sea with the believers, and God drowned Pharaoh and his army. However, after they crossed, the children of Israel rebelled against the divine commands and disobeyed Moses and Aaron.

After the children of Israel rejected entering the Holy Land and fighting the oppressors to spread the words “There is no deity but God” and to worship God sincerely, God ordained for them to wander in the desert of Sinai for forty years. Moses and Aaron^℗ were hurt tremendously during this time. Many people from the children of Israel opposed Moses^℗ and belittled him. They also opposed Aaron, even though he was a Prophet and successor to Moses^℗. God therefore commanded that the head of each tribe from the children of Israel write his name on a dry stick. Aaron wrote his name on one of the sticks. Moses^℗ deposited all of the sticks in a meeting tent. God willed that the stick with Aaron’s^℗ name turn to green as a miracle to prove Aaron’s prophethood and right to succeed Moses^℗. However, they did not stop hurting and belittling Aaron^℗. When they made and worshipped the calf and Aaron^℗ objected, the Children of Israel were ready to kill him, as well as the small minority who supported the truth along with him. Yet, the Jews were not satisfied with this. They distorted the Torah after the death of Moses and Aaron^℗, by writing with their sinful hands that the one who created the calf and misguided the children of Israel was Aaron^℗!

Look at the injustice done toward this great Prophet Aaron^℗, and compare it to the injustice done toward the successor Ali Ibn Abi Talib^℗. This is the way of God, and you will not find in the way of God any change.
