    Prophet Musa (AS) was born at a time when Pharaoh's rule was absolute. Fearful prophecies had told of a child from Bani Israel who would overthrow him. In his fear, Pharaoh ordered the killing of all male children from Bani Israel.

    To save her son, Prophet Musa's (AS) mother placed him in a basket and set him afloat on the Nile. The basket drifted towards Pharaoh's palace.

    There, Pharaoh's wife, Aasiya, found the basket and convinced Pharaoh to adopt the child. Unaware of his true heritage, Musa (AS) grew up in the palace.

    As an adult, Musa (AS) saw an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite. He intervened, accidentally killing the Egyptian, and fearing retribution, fled to Madyan.

    In Madyan, he lived a simple life and married. One night, while lost in the wilderness, Musa (AS) saw a fire in the distance. He approached it and heard the voice of Allah Almighty.

    Allah instructed him to return to Pharaoh and invite him to worship the one true God. To affirm his mission, Allah demonstrated two miracles: Musa's (AS) staff turned into a serpent, and his hand shone brilliantly.

    With these miracles, Musa (AS) returned to Pharaoh. Despite presenting the miracles, Pharaoh dismissed them as mere magic tricks.

    Pharaoh summoned his magicians, who were defeated by Musa's (AS) miracles. They acknowledged the power of Allah, but Pharaoh, in his arrogance, refused to accept the truth.

    In response, Allah sent plagues upon the land. The rivers turned to blood, locusts consumed crops, and darkness enveloped the land. But Pharaoh's heart remained hardened.

    Despite the plagues, Pharaoh continued his oppression. Musa (AS), empowered by faith, prepared to lead his people towards freedom.

    As they left, Pharaoh's army pursued them. With the Red Sea in front, and the army behind, the Bani Israel were trapped. But Musa (AS) remained steadfast.

    Musa (AS) struck the sea with his staff, and a miracle happened. The sea parted, creating a path for the Bani Israel to cross safely.

    Pharaoh and his army attempted to follow. But as they entered the sea, the waters closed back in, drowning them. The oppressor had met his end.
