Darul Qasim Sunday Tafseer

28:22-28. Shaykh Amin paints a mental state of Musa's (AS) mental state soon after his flight from Egypt. It is not possible for a Nabi to be pessimistic, and Musa (AS) puts his trust in Allah (S), acknowledging his own strengths and abilities even as he makes his way towards Madyan. His conversation with the two young ladies by the well stems from genuine concern, not from idle curiosity. Musa (AS) reflects the adab characteristic of a Nabi in that after he assists people, he turns aside from them and seeks help from Allah (S) instead. Prophets also separate Allah's fadl from their actions. They do not ascribe any good to themselves, rather they attribute all good to Allah (S) alone.
