Surah Al Qasas
Surah Al-Qasas focuses extensively on the life of Prophet Musa (A.S.), from his infancy to his confrontation with Pharaoh. It highlights his upbringing in the palace of the enemy, his escape to Madyan, and his return as a prophet with a divine mission. The Surah also briefly touches on the stories of Qarun (Korah) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
It serves as a powerful reminder that Allah controls all affairs, raises the oppressed, and humiliates the arrogant. It reassures the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that his mission is part of a long line of prophetic struggles.
