Prophet Musas allegorical life

As promised in the previous post I will continue with the story (or untold story) of Prophet Musa.

Lesson 4

Prophet Musa killed a man.

28:15- And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance on the part of its people, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes, and he who was of his party cried out to him for help against him who was of his enemies, so Musa struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is on account of the Shaitan's doing; surely he is an enemy, openly leading astray
28:18-21- And he was in the city, fearing, awaiting, when lo! he who had asked his assistance the day before was crying out to him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely one erring manifestly. So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to them both, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as you killed a person yesterday? You desire nothing but that you should be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to be of those who act aright.

Continuing on with the allegoircal theme, let's see this story with the allegorical meanings placed.

One being of his party is the Israelites

The city is Mt Sinai

Other his foes is Egyptians

The killing is when Moses killed the Egyptians.

The Israelites that he saved are the Israelites at Mt Sinai

“Surely one erring manifestly” is the calf incident

28:18-21- And he was at Mt Sinai, fearing, awaiting, when lo! The Israelites who had asked his assistance the day before were crying out to him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely one erring manifestly. So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to them both, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill us as you killed the Egyptians? You desire nothing but that you should be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to be of those who act aright.

This would therefore mean Prophet Musa blaming shaitan was actually and error because it was Allah all along.

Lesson 5

Prophet Musas dilemma and the two magicians

Prophets Musa still had a doubt that Allah can be seen. His doubt began (or was revealed to him) in this ayat.

7:138 And We made the children of Israel to pass the sea; then they came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idols They said: O Musa! make for us a god as they have (their) gods He said: Surely you are a people acting ignorantly:

Not long after we find Prophet Musa asking Allah to see him

7:143 And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers.

Prophet Musa asked a question that was asked to him.

How is this related to the magicians.
What happen to the magicians when the saw Allahs power?

26.46 And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;

Lesson 6 for Moses

The ten nights Dhul Hijjah

As I've shown in prior posts the mountain crumbling is the revealing of the Quran.

If I am correct about the ordeal, it slightly changes our current understanding Dhul Hijjah.

The first ten nights of Ramadan is commonly referred to as the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah

The ayat is

89:1-5- I swear by the daybreak, And the ten nights, And the even and the odd, And the night when it departs. Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.

Now to the allegorical link with
prophet Musa

28:27 He said: I desire to marry one of these two daughters of mine to you on condition that you should serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be of your own free will, and I do not wish to be hard to you; if Allah please, you will find me one of the good.

Here Moses is given from his future Father-in-law a chance to marry his daughter on the condition that he must work for his father-in-law for 8 years, and 2 more are optional, making a total of 10 years.

Then on the mountain we find this

7:142 And We appointed with Musa a time of thirty nights and completed them with ten (more), so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights, and Musa said to his brother Haroun: Take my place among my people, and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.

Here we see Moses was given 30 nights, plus another 10, making a total of 40 nights.

Within the optional years for his father-in-law there is one even and odd year.
Within the revealing of the Quran he has 10 additional days with the five Even and five Odd.

The 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah could possibly mean fasting 10 days after Ramadan (for 40 days) is optional but beneficial and must be done from your own free will.
