موسى عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ
Musa (Moses)
Allah inspired Musa’s mother to place her baby in the river, and he was raised in Pharaoh’s house. Later, in the sacred valley of Tuwa, Allah called him and sent him to Pharaoh, who had transgressed; Musa asked Allah to open his chest and make his brother Harun his helper. When Pharaoh’s army chased the believers, Allah told Musa to strike the sea with his staff; it parted, Musa and those with him were saved, and the pursuers were drowned. Allah gave Musa the Scripture, the Torah, as guidance.
From the Quran
وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَرۡضِعِيهِۖ فَإِذَا خِفۡتِ عَلَيۡهِ فَأَلۡقِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحۡزَنِيٓۖ إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيۡكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخۡلَعۡ نَعۡلَيۡكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوٗى
Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the blessed valley of Ṭuwā.
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي
[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
