Manage episode 380510800 series 3522544
In Surah Al-A'raf of the Quran, Allah mentions the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and his confrontation with Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. The story goes that Prophet Musa was sent by Allah to free the Israelites from the bondage of Pharaoh. As a sign of his divine mission, Prophet Musa was given the power to perform miracles, including turning his staff into a serpent, parting the sea, and causing plagues to afflict the Egyptians.
One of the plagues that Allah sent to the Egyptians was a plague of frogs, as mentioned in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 133. The frogs swarmed the land, filling the houses and even the beds of the Egyptians, causing great distress and discomfort.
The plague of lice is also mentioned in the same verse, as a part of the same sequence of plagues that befell the Egyptians. This plague caused lice to infest the bodies of the Egyptians, causing severe itching and discomfort.
These plagues were meant to be a punishment for the cruelty and oppression of Pharaoh and his people toward the Israelites. The story of the Plagues of Egypt is a powerful reminder of the power and justice of Allah, and the importance of obedience and righteousness.
