Al Shu‘arā’

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَى وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

65. “And We saved Moses and those with him all together.”
66. “Then We drownedthe others.”

Deliverance and salvation can be gained only by following the Divine Prophets. In the worst conditions, Allah saves His friends from dead locks. The sea being cloven asunder and the Pharaohs being drowned are the signs of the power and the wrath of Allah which must be the cause of admonition. Also, Allah’s way of treatment has been to assist ‘the truth’ and to destroy ‘the wrong’ throughout the history! So, in this holy verse, the noble Qur’an says:

Just when the last member of the Children of Israel came out of the sea and the last member of the host of Pharaoh entered the sea, Allah ordered the water of the sea to return to the first state. The huge raging waves fell down and came together and took Pharaoh and his host, like some straw, with them here and there and destroyed them. The Qur’an has stated this event in a short sentence when it says:

Thus, in a very short moment, everything finished. Those captivated slaves easily became free; those proud tyrants were punished and annihilated; the history changed and the glorious palaces, which had been founded over the ruined housed of the oppressed, vanished; the period of those arrogant people ended and then the oppressed people inherited their land and their government.
