The Liberator of Israel's Children
The name of Moses is the most frequently occurring one in the Koran―twenty-seven times more than the name of Muhammad himself [1] . His life story represents an epic of miracles from the very outset: to the deep humiliation of the tyrant Pharaoh, who was taking all precautions to prevent the rising of the savior of the then-enslaved nation of Israel, Allah predestined that Moses would be brought up within the Pharaoh’s court itself. Growing to manhood, Allah bestowed Prophecy upon him, and provided him with many miracles that stand as the most distinguished among those given to His Prophets and Messengers. [1] The word “Moses” is repeated 135 times, while the word “Muhammad” is repeated only five times in the Koran.
