Prophet Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) is one of the most frequently mentioned prophets in the Qur'an, with his story appearing in numerous chapters. His life is filled with miracles, trials, and divine guidance, making him a central figure in Islamic teachings. Below is an overview of his story in the Qur'an:


1. Birth and Early Life

  • Musa (AS) was born at a time when Pharaoh (Fir‘awn) oppressed the Israelites and ordered the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys.
  • His mother was inspired by Allah (SWT) to place him in a basket and set him afloat in the Nile River to save him (Surah Al-Qasas 28:7).
  • He was found and adopted by Pharaoh’s wife, Asiya, who convinced Pharaoh to raise him as their own (Surah Al-Qasas 28:9).

  • While returning to Egypt, he saw a burning bush on Mount Tur (Sinai), where Allah (SWT) spoke to him directly and appointed him as a prophet (Surah Ta-Ha 20:9-14).

3. His Mission Against Pharaoh

  • Musa (AS) was commanded to confront Pharaoh and demand the freedom of the Israelites (Surah Al-Shu‘ara 26:10-14).
  • Allah (SWT) granted him miracles, including his staff turning into a serpent and his hand shining brightly (Surah Ta-Ha 20:17-22).
