Reflections on Surah Al-Qasas Ayah 15

28:15
ودخل المدينة على حين غفلة من اهلها فوجد فيها رجلين يقتتلان هاذا من شيعته وهاذا من عدوه فاستغاثه الذي من شيعته على الذي من عدوه فوكزه موسى فقضى عليه قال هاذا من عمل الشيطان انه عدو مضل مبين ١٥
وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍۢ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَـٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَـٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّضِلٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ١٥

˹One day˺ he entered the city unnoticed by its people.1 There he found two men fighting: one of his own people, and the other of his enemies. The man from his people called to him for help against his foe. So Moses punched him, causing his death. Moses cried, “This is from Satan’s handiwork. He is certainly a sworn, misleading enemy.”

:بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله. أما بعد:

They say every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

We should never ever judge someone for their past, nor should we ever feel hopeless from the mercy of Allah SWT after committing any sin, no matter how large may it be.

There once was a person who killed another person, He misjudged the matter and unintentionally took his life, and yet, Allah not only forgave him, but ma...

'Support your brother whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed!'
The Sahaba heard these words from the mouth of the messenger PBUH, and they were amazed!
Of course we would support the oppressed, but why would we lend him a hand when he is on the oppressing side?
and he said 'your support will be by stopping him from oppression'

It is SO HARD to stick to justice, against your own brothers, and especially when you are an oppressed and marginal...

Ep4 - Story of Prophet Musa & Life Design: Sins, Setbacks, and Second Chances

This episode is really important for Quran-inspired life design.
Mistakes are part of our journey on this earth, We will never be sin-free, otherwise we would be competing with the angels on their level, not ours.

Allah forgives all sins, as long as we turn to Him with repentence Every Single Time.
But we need to forgive ourselves, and detach ourselves from the spiri...

Musa is often described as having wisdom and knowledge and wisdom and strength. Knowledge is content of thought. Wisdom is knowing when and how to best exercise it. Some scholars say it is also a reference to the age of prophethood, which is 40. A neurological fun fact is 40 is when the brain typically reaches its maximum before beginning to lose mass.
In this situation, Musa AS jumped to conclusions because of his love for justice and this concl...
