496 - AL-QASAS (Ayat# 20-24)
The narrative details the flight of Musa (AS) from Egypt after unintentionally causing the death of a man. Fearing retribution from the authorities, he seeks refuge in the city of Madayan. During his journey, he prays to Allah for protection from the oppressive people and for guidance to the correct path. Upon arriving in Madayan, he finds a community gathering around a well, where he encounters two women tending to their flocks. They explain that they are unable to water their animals until the male shepherds have finished, due to their father's advanced age and inability to assist. Musa (AS), demonstrating his strength, helps them water their animals, fulfilling a need and displaying his inherent goodness. This encounter sets the stage for further events and highlights Musa’s character as a compassionate and capable individual.
