Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand

 

(Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand)    (Qur'an 20: 68)

 

Moosa (Moses) was especially in trouble on three occasions:

 

1. When he entered the council of the evil Fir'aun, he said:

 

('Our Lord! Verily! We fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress [all bounds against us].)          (Qur'an 20: 45)

 

(He [Allah] said:  'Fear not, verily! I am with you both, hearing and seeing.)                                   (Qur'an 20: 46)

 

The phrase, "I am with you..., hearing and seeing" should always be in the mind of the Muslim.

 

2. When the sorcerers threw their rods, Allah, the Almighty, said:

('Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.)     (Qur'an 20: 68)

 

 

3. When Fir'aun and his army were catching up with Moosa (Moses), Allah said:

 

(Strike the sea with your stick.)                (Qur'an 26: 63)

 

Moosa (may peace be upon him) said:

 

Nay verily! with me is my Lord, He will guide me.  (Qur'an 26: 62)
