What can you tell us about the Prophet Moses, upon him be peace, and his people?
Allah revealed to Moses (peace be upon him) and sent him to the Children of Israel in Egypt, with his brother Aaron as his support. Moses was born in Egypt and raised in Pharaoh's house. After the incident of killing a Coptic man, Moses left in fear for Midian, where he married. Then, Allah honored him with prophethood on his way back to Egypt. Allah sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh with miracles to invite him to worship Allah and release the Children of Israel, but Pharaoh refused and showed arrogance.
Pharaoh challenged Moses with sorcerers, but Allah granted Moses victory over them, and the sorcerers believed. Afterward, Pharaoh punished the sorcerers and continued his tyranny, and Moses invoked Allah against him, so Allah sent upon them successive signs of affliction. Moses was commanded to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt secretly. Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them, but Allah drowned them and saved Moses and his people.
After Pharaoh's demise, Moses suffered from the repeated rebellion and grumbling of the Children of Israel. They demanded idols, complained of thirst and hunger, and worshipped the calf in Moses' absence. They initially rejected the Torah, then accepted it after being threatened, but they rebelled again by refusing to enter the Holy Land, so Allah punished them with forty years of wandering. Moses and Aaron died during the wandering, and the Children of Israel entered the Holy Land after the period ended.
Allah favored the Children of Israel with many blessings, but they disbelieved, attributed avarice and a son to Allah, distorted the Torah, and killed the prophets, which necessitated their being cursed and Allah's wrath upon them, and He cast enmity and hatred among them. The Jews are the most hostile people to the believers and hate death due to their tyranny. They continued in their corruption until Allah sent Jesus (peace be upon him) to them.
