Prophets Musa - Yas'a

Musa عليه السلام

Musa or Moses is regarded as the frequently mentioned prophet in the Quran, showing up 136 times. Before Moses, Joseph had started spreading out the message of monotheism (tawhid: worship of One, true God) among the people of Egypt. His mission was strengthened when his father, Jacob, and his brothers also settled in Egypt, carefully converting all of Egypt. After Yusuf, the Egyptians turned-back into polytheism (shirk) and the children of Jacob, the Israelites, increased and gained importance in the society. Moses was the first prophet sent to the Israelites at that time when the Pharaoh of Egypt was enslaving them. Moses fled to Madyan to flee persecution. God made him a prophet at Mt. Toor, located in the Sinai and he was given nine great miracles.
