Prophet Mūsā: Part 2 — The Calling and the Magicians Who Believed
Section 5 of 36 · Lives of the Prophets
Homesick, on a Cold, Dark Night
Mūsā has been away from his mother, his family and his country for ten years. He feels homesick. He misses his family. He wants to go back and visit his mother; he wants to visit his family. So he decided that he would go to Egypt secretly. He would sneak in without the government knowing, and go and meet with his family and relatives. So he took his wife with him and started travelling towards Egypt.
And Mūsā got lost. He lost his direction. It was a very cold and dark night, and Mūsā was travelling in this cold, dark night. He had lost his way. There was no light; it was completely dark, and it was very cold. And Mūsā was alone with his wife in this very difficult environment. It was desert; the land he was crossing on the way to Egypt is desert.
