In this chapter, the stories of seven of the prophets have been narrated, beginning with Moses and his wrangling with Pharaoh and his cruel folk, until they were all drowned together, and Moses won the race!

      One may think that, these narrations have been repeated here and there in Qurän; but it is not so, and in every passage a different point of the relatively long story has been discussed.

      As an instance of it, the above verses about Moses was revealed, when Muslims were very weak, and their enemies very powerful; and the two parties had a great difference to balance. So the above verses were sent down to console Muslims, and to assure them that, it is not the excess of man-power, equipments, and weapons, that counts and brings forth a victory, but having faith in God, and trusting Him is the main factor, and the most effective weapon in the fields of life and death.

      Moses and his brother Aaron, only two shepherds, with a worn out woolen clothes on, and the shepherd's stick in their hand, were ordered to go to Pharaoh, the greatest dictator of ages, and to warn him and admonish his host!:ِ

      ``And forget not when your Lord called Moses and told him:ِ ``Go to the people who are oppressorsِto the people of Pharaoh, and ask them if they will cease oppression and will avoid evil deeds, and obey their God.''

      Here through the above commandment, the mission of Moses begins, but in spite of having the miracles of the snake, and shining white hand, and his talking with God, he still felt diffident and wanting confidence when he was ordered to go to Pharaoh and his folk. He feared them to belie him. He feared them to kill him, for the Egyptian whom he had slayed unintentionally. And after all for his stammering speech. But Allah assured him, and encouraged him to proceed on his mission. God changed for him all his shortcomings to power, and assigned his brother Aaron to assist him in his mission.
