Qurän has named the Egyptain's wish to spare the lives of Israel's females, when their males were on the altar, a severe torment. It was through Allah's favour that they were freed from that tremendous trial, and bitter agony. Freedom is a bounty and a gift from God. It is as if Allah wants here to advise man to obtain his freedom in any possible price. To this effect HAZART Imam Ali (AS) has said: ``For you, living and being subjected, is in fact being dead, and your death in the way of obtaining freedom, is life and living.''

      The difference of present and past in this relation is that: ``Pharaoh; through his particular despotism and tyranny, would take the males, and leave free the females of his opposition group. In our time, the spirit of manliness is slaughtered in the male bodies, and females are maintained to serve in satisfying the passion of dirty men of rank, power, and wealth!''

      (About slaughtering the males and sparing the females we read in the Holy Bible: ``Finally the king issued a command to all his people: Take every new born HEBREW boy and throw him into the Nile but let all the girls live.
