Introduction: Trapped! Picture this: The vast Red Sea is in front of you. The brutal army of Pharaoh is charging behind you. There is nowhere to run. The followers of Prophet Musa (Moses) screamed in terror, "We are overtaken!" But Musa remained calm. He possessed a secret weapon stronger than any army: absolute trust in Allah.
"Nay, Indeed My Lord is With Me" While everyone saw death, Musa saw a way out through God’s mercy. He silenced their fears with one powerful statement: "Kalla! (No!) Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me." (Quran 26:62). He didn't know how he would be saved, but he knew that he would be saved.
The Parting of the Sea Allah commanded Musa to strike the sea with his staff. Instantly, the water split apart, standing like towering mountains on both sides. The muddy sea floor turned into dry land. The believers crossed safely. When Pharaoh and his soldiers tried to follow, the sea collapsed on them, drowning the tyrant forever.
The Lesson of Ashura This miraculous victory happened on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura). Muslims fast on this day to express gratitude to Allah for saving Musa and destroying evil.
