@Hadithoftheday Staff/Stick (A'asah)
Allah says in Qur'an:
"Then We inspired to Musa, Strike with your staff the sea, and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain."
(Qur'an: Suraj Ash-Shu'araa 26: Verse 63)

@Hadithoftheday Allah further says in Qur'an:
"And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
And We saved Musa and those with him, all together.
Then We drowned the others.
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers."
(Qur'an: 26:64-67)

@Hadithoftheday The pharaoh who ruled Egypt was a tyrant who oppressed the descendants of Musa A.S. He used every means to demean and disgrace them. They were kept in bondage and forced to work for him for small wages or nothing.+

@Hadithoftheday Musa A.S and Harun A.S went to Pharaoh in obedience to Allah's command and conveyed to him the message of the religion of truth. They asked him to stop tormenting the Children of Israel and let them go with Musa A.Sand Harun A.S

@Hadithoftheday Out of pride and greed for power, pharaoh did not listen to what Musa A.S said. He tried to make fun of him, attempted to prove his power, and denied him.

@Hadithoftheday Neither Pharaoh nor the leaders of the people within his close circle, except for the magicians, obeyed Musa A.S and Harun A.S. They did not follow the religion of truth shown to them. Therefore Allah first of all sent some disasters to them+

@Hadithoftheday Because of their conduct, Allah sent them a number of disasters as "separate miracles" to make them taste the torment in this world, before the eternal torment of the next world.

@Hadithoftheday Allah sent to them a series of disasters, and warned them. These disasters are described as follows in the Quran:

"So We sent upon them the flood & locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people."
(Qur'an: 7: Verse 133)

@Hadithoftheday Finally, no matter how the disasters took place, and what effect they left, neither pharaoh, nor his people turned to Allah by paying heed, but they continued in their arrogance.

@Hadithoftheday Musa A.S set out from Egypt with the Children of Israel who obeyed him. However, pharaoh could not accept their departure without his permission. He and his soldiers followed them .+

@Hadithoftheday By the time Musa A.S and the Children of Israel reached the shore, pharaoh and his soldiers had caught up with them. +

@Hadithoftheday Some of the Children of Israel, who saw this, began to complain to Musa A.S. This weakness of the community is also described in the Qur'an in the following verse:

"And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Musa said: 'We are sure to be overtaken.'" (Qur'an: 26:61)

@Hadithoftheday Allah revealed to Musa A.S that he should strike the sea with his rod. Upon this,

"it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain." (Surah Ash-Shu'ara: Verse number 63)

@Hadithoftheday The sea opened for the people whom pharaoh wanted to destroy.
Pharaoh and his army followed the children of Israel into the sea and thus were destroyed.
