Question:
This questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Qasas 28:7] Did the revelation descend upon her as it descends upon the prophets, and did she know that her son would be a prophet?
Answer:
This is the inspiration of revelation, not the revelation of sending [messengers]; rather, it is the inspiration of revelation that We inspired to the mother of Musa (Moses), meaning We inspired her to nurse him, because he was born in the year in which Pharaoh was killing the male infants. So Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) inspired her to nurse him. When she feared for him from the people of Pharaoh, she was to cast him into the sea, meaning the river. The river that was near her. So she cast him into the river, and the river carried him to the house of Pharaoh. And Pharaoh had no children born to him. And his wife, Asiya, daughter of Muzahim (may Allah have mercy on her and be pleased with her), was a believer. She was a believer. So she took pity on him. And she said to Pharaoh:[Al-Qasas 28:9] So Allah protected him from the plot of Pharaoh because of this righteous, believing woman (may Allah have mercy on her and be pleased with her). Yes.
