Is there a connection between the four Surahs (Ṭāhā, An-Naml, Ash-Shu‘arā’, and Al-Qaṣaṣ) that begin with the letter "Ṭā," as all of them narrate the story of Musa (peace be upon him) at the beginning?

We advise the questioner to stay away from these matters that have no basis, and to occupy his time with what benefits him in his religion and his worldly life. The story of Moses is one of the most frequently mentioned stories of the prophets in the Quran, and it has appeared in various places in the surahs of the Quran. The mentioned surahs are not the only ones in which it appears, but it also appears in other surahs such as Surah Ibrahim, Al-Isra, Ad-Dukhan, and An-Nazi'at, etc. Allah Almighty said in Surah Ibrahim: {And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring out your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of Allah." Indeed in that are signs for every patient, grateful person. }, and He said in Surah Al-Isra: {And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel, [enjoining], "Do not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs."}, and He also said in it: {And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel}, and Allah, the Exalted in Might, said in Surah Ad-Dukhan: {And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger}, and He, glory be to Him, said in Surah An-Nazi'at: {Has there reached you the story of Moses?}.
