TRIALS OF MUSA (AS) - Out of Darkness Into Light

Musa (AS) the one who spoke to Allah (SWT), is among the five most prominent prophets in Islam, known as the Ulu'l-Azm (arch-prophets). He led the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and is the most mentioned prophet in the Qur'an (136 times). Musa's (AS) life epitomises the perpetual struggle between truth and falsehood, struggles with oppressors, and demonstrates success through gratitude in the face of trials.

Allah (SWT) puts Musa (AS) through extreme trials which provide us with timeless lessons. In this seminar, we will highlight some of these trials and pick out highly beneficial lessons for us to implement today.

Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs, ˹ordering him,˺ “Lead your people out of darkness and into light, and remind them of Allah’s days ˹of favour˺.” Surely in this are signs for whoever is steadfast, grateful. Surah Ibrahim, verse 5 [Qur'an]

Teacher

A graduate of Darul Uloom, Bury, Sheikh Kauther is well-known on the classical lecture circuit for his accessible and carefully crafted presentations on Tafseer.

For this and other Islamic sciences, he prefers to engage his audience by upholding the timeless messages and morals of the Holy Qur’an whilst constantly pointing to their modern-day relevance. It is this contemporary approach which, with Allah’s permission, has enabled him to become a mainstay behind the lectern at several different UK universities and at learning retreats across the country.

A teacher of Maths, Religious Studies, and Arabic at a secondary school, his passion for teaching and inspirational talk has also granted him work as a leader and co-ordinator of tour guides to the many famous holy sites across the Middle East and the Hijaz. He has a knowledge of Fushah Arabic and is haafizul Qur’an: he loves to use blessings such as these to explore the meanings and nuances behind the pearls and precious histories set within Islamic culture, maximising the enjoyment and wonder for other students.
