Lesson
Al-bahra – (Sea) here, aim from al-bahra is
the Red Sea (Arabian Gulf). It is also called a deep sea. Through
this sea the Egypt meets with Syria and Siena. The Children
of Israel entered in Peninsula of Siena after crossing
this Sea and got freedom from Pharaoh and folks of Egypt.
FaraqNaa
bikumul-bahra - (We brought you
through the Sea). It points towards the event mentioned in this verse that when
the Children of Israel began crossing the Red Sea, God Almighty
created for them a way to cross the sea. It was a Miracle of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) that when He beat His stick on the water of sea, the earth
in the sea became dry and now there was a path for the Children of Israel to
cross the sea. As per historians this event was occurred nearly during 1447
B.C.
Wa
‘antum tanzuruun – (And you were
looking). The Children of Israel are being told that they had seen
with their open eyes the infamy and disgraced death of their greatest cruel and
despotic king.
The Children of Israel
used to bear the cruelties of their tyrant kings of Egypt for many
years. After all, they devised that they should leave the Egypt and
go to their ancestor’s native country Syria and Palestine under the supervision of
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him). Because the government
of Egypt was not agreeing to permit them leaving the Egypt, so
they started their journey at night. They had fear of following by the Egyptian
government, grief on leaving their homes and utter darkness of night. Due to
fear and confusion they forgot the correct path.
On the other side, the
Pharaoh had known that the Children of Israel had run away. He
followed with his Army and reached near them. Now the Jews were entirely
helpless. In front of them there was sea in the east and behind them a great
Egyptian Army. The Children of Israel were very confused as they had been
surrounded. At that time, Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) beat His stick in
the sea according to the commandment of God Almighty. The sea was cracked and
the dry land appeared. Caravan of the Children of Israel crossed the sea. Meanwhile
the Army of Pharaoh reached there. They saw dried path and dropped down. But
they were still in the middle of the way that the water became in a level and
met mutually itself. Pharaoh drowned along with his Army. The Children
of Israel looked the show of drowning their enemy helplessly with
their eyes. Above mentioned verse signifies towards such story.
