‘Put him into a chest, then put it into the river. The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by ˹Pharaoh,˺ an enemy of Mine and his.’ And I endeared you with love from Me ˹O Moses˺1 so that you would be brought up under My ˹watchful˺ Eye.

I am fascinated by this ayah:
'But when they ˹finally˺ reached the point where the seas met, they forgot their fish, and it made its way into the sea, slipping away ˹wondrously˺.' 18:61

Put him into the river?? A child. A newborn. Oh okay, he'll be washed ashore, he must be safe then. No! After that, he'll be taken in by the very enemy you're trying to escape. You have to cast yourself into the river like a newborn baby. You have to cast yourself in ...See more

Let's carefully read these beautiful verses and take a moment to reflect upon the many times Allah has shown us His favors over the years. Those situations that looked impossible and He helped us through, the situations when He blessed us with the support of another person right when we needed it, the times when He put our hearts at ease, the times He saved us from sorrow, and so much more. And He still continues to help us and answer our duas to...See more
