DAY 195: Taha 36-41

•  Allah responded, “All that you requested has been granted, O  Moses! And surely We had shown you favour before, when We inspired your mother with this: ‘Put him into a chest, then put it into the river. The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by ˹Pharaoh,˺ an enemy of Mine and his.’ And I endeared you with love from Me ˹O Moses˺¹ so that you would be brought up under My ˹watchful˺ Eye. ˹Remember˺ when your sister came along and proposed, ‘Shall I direct you to someone who will nurse him?’ So We reunited you with your mother so that her heart would be put at ease, and she would not grieve. ˹Later˺ you killed a man ˹by mistake˺, but We saved you from sorrow, as well as other tests We put you through. Then you stayed for a number of years among the people of Midian. Then you came here as pre-destined, O  Moses! And I have selected you for My service.“

      Allah Answers Duas – Musa’s requests (for help, eloquence) were granted instantly .
      Divine Preparation – Every trial in Musa’s life (Nile basket, exile) was training for leadership.
      Allah’s Timeless Plan – From infancy to prophethood, Allah’s decree unfolds perfectly (v. 40: "at the appointed time").
      Chosen for a Purpose – "I have chosen you for Myself"  is a reminder that Allah selects and shapes His servants for great tasks.
      
      Allah affirms Musa’s prophethood  by recalling how He saved him as a baby, tested him through exile, and now commissions him for his mission—proving that every hardship was divine preparation for a greater purpose.
