آيَاتٌ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْقَصَصِ.

Verses from Surah Al-Qasas.

مَدْخَلٌ إِلَى النَّصِّ: تَتَمَيَّزُ قِصَصُ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ بِأُسْلُوبِهَا الشَّائِقِ الَّذِي يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ جَمَالِ التَّعْبِيرِ وَعُمْقِ الْمَعْنَى، وَيَعْرِضُ الْأَحْدَاثَ وَالشَّخْصِيَّاتِ عَرْضًا حَيًّا يُؤَثِّرُ فِي الْوِجْدَانِ، وَيَغْرِسُ الْقِيَمَ بِأُسْلُوبٍ قَرِيبٍ مِنَ النَّفْسِ وَالْفِكْرِ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُ الْفَطِنُ يَسْتَنْبِطُ مِنْ قِصَصِ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ الدُّرُوسَ وَالْعِظَاتِ الَّتِي تُرَسِّخُ الْعَقِيدَةَ، وَتَزِيدُ الْإِيمَانَ، وَتُثَبِّتُ الْقُلُوبَ؛ مِصْدَاقًا لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ.

Introduction to the text: The stories of the Holy Quran are distinguished by their engaging style, which combines beauty of expression with depth of meaning, presenting events and characters in a vivid manner that touches the soul and instills values in a way that is close to the heart and mind. The astute believer derives from the stories of the Holy Quran lessons and admonitions that solidify faith, increase belief, and steady the heart, in accordance with the words of God Almighty: 'In their stories, there is a lesson for those of understanding.'

وَتُعَدُّ قِصَّةُ مُوسَى - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - مِنْ أَكْثَرِ الْقِصَصِ الْقُرْآنِيَّةِ وُرُودًا فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ؛ لِمَا تَحْمِلُهُ مِنْ مَعَانٍ إِيمَانِيَّةٍ وَتَرْبَوِيَّةٍ وَإِنْسَانِيَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَلِمَا فِيهَا مِنْ تَثْبِيتٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الْفِتَنِ وَالشَّدَائِدِ، كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: وَكُلًّا نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ.

The story of Moses, peace be upon him, is considered one of the most frequently mentioned Quranic stories in the Holy Quran, due to the great spiritual, educational, and human meanings it carries, and for the steadfastness it provides to believers in the face of trials and hardships, as God Almighty said: 'And all that We relate to you of the news of the messengers is that by which We make firm your heart.'

وَقَدْ عَرَضَ الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُ قِصَّةَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي مَوَاضِعَ مُتَعَدِّدَةٍ، تَتَنَوَّعُ فِيهَا الْمَوَاقِفُ وَالْأَحْدَاثُ؛ لِتَبْقَى مَعَانِيهَا حَاضِرَةً فِي حَيَاةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَسُلُوكِهِ.

The Holy Quran has presented the story of Moses, peace be upon him, in various places, where the situations and events vary, so that its meanings remain present in the life and conduct of the believer.

وَفِي هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْقَصَصِ - وَهِيَ سُورَةٌ مَكِّيَّةٌ - يُصَوِّرُ النَّصُّ جَانِبًا مُؤَثِّرًا مِنْ طُفُولَةِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، حِينَ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى أُمِّهِ أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ، ثُمَّ تُلْقِيَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ مُطْمَئِنَّةً إِلَى وَعْدِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِحِفْظِهِ وَرَدِّهِ إِلَيْهَا.

In these verses from Surah Al-Qasas—which is a Meccan surah—the text depicts a moving aspect of the childhood of Moses, peace be upon him, when God Almighty inspired his mother to nurse him, then cast him into the river, reassured by God Almighty's promise to protect him and return him to her.

وَيَتَمَيَّزُ هَذَا الْمَقْطَعُ بِجَمَالِهِ الْقَصَصِيِّ، وَصِدْقِ تَصْوِيرِهِ لِلْمَشَاعِرِ الْإِنْسَانِيَّةِ، إِضَافَةً إِلَى ثَرَائِهِ اللُّغَوِيِّ وَالْبَلَاغِيِّ الَّذِي تَجَلَّى فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى أُمِّ مُوسَى أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحْزَنِي إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ، وَهِيَ آيَةٌ تُعَدُّ مِنْ أَبْرَزِ أَمْثِلَةِ الْإِعْجَازِ الْبَيَانِيِّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ؛ لِمَا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَوَامِرَ وَنَوَاهٍ وَبِشَارَاتٍ اجْتَمَعَتْ فِي أُسْلُوبٍ مُوجَزٍ بَلِيغٍ.

This passage is distinguished by its narrative beauty and the sincerity of its depiction of human emotions, in addition to its linguistic and rhetorical richness, which is manifested in the words of God Almighty: 'And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him one of the messengers."' This verse is considered one of the most prominent examples of rhetorical inimitability in the Holy Quran, due to the commands, prohibitions, and glad tidings it contains, all gathered in a concise and eloquent style.
