Verses 54-55Verses 51-53

      The above three verses point in brief to Moses, who was an offspring of Abraham, who raised up again the flag of Monotheism in his sacred lineage. Here five gifts of God which were granted him is pointed to, which are as follows:ِ

      God purified him and made him a sincere servant due to his obedience and stainless worship.

      Allah raised him up to the rank of an arch prophet.

 

      He had the honour that God spoke to him, besides the usual inspiration which is the way of communicating with prophets.

      In other word; Moses was a prophet especially chosen to rescue the Israelites from the bondage and servitude of Egyptians. He was the one with whom God spoke without the intervention of angels, and hence his title of, ``MOSES, THE INTERLOCUTOR''. He was also inspired as a Messenger, receiving a Book of Law, and organised a religious community.

      God pulled him near, and called him from the right side of the Mount Sinai.

      This may refer to the incident of the Fire. When Moses was travelling with his family to graze the flocks of SHUAIB, his father-in-law; he reached near about the mountain of Sinai, when he saw a fire in distance. He went towards it to get a brand, to kindle a fire for his family. When he went near enough, he heard a voice from the fire that called him by his name, saying:ِ ``O, Moses! You are in a sacred place; so take out your sandals.'' There; nine great miracles were given him for show, and his important mission was explained to him.

      When God spoke to Moses through the Fire, he asked his Lord to associate his brother Aaron in his mission too.
