Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) Moses is named Musa ( peace be upon him ) (for simplicity, Musa is referred to as Moses even in a Muslim context), and is clearly a prophet selected by God. In 20:13 this is stated directly by God. It is correct to say that Moses was the same messenger of his time, as Muhammad became in his. And just as Muhammad ( peace be upon him ) used to do, Moses refers to earlier prophets, of which Adam was the very first. Also we see that the presentation of him has many parallels to the one of Abraham ( peace be upon him ) .
Moses was the messenger of a Quran, in the Arabic language (a piece of information which is strange considering that the his people did not understand Arabic, and in the Jewish society there are no indications of a holy book written in a language nobody could read or understand).
The Quran tells that Moses was put into a casket and placed on the river by direct command of God to his mother. The intent was to bring him into the house of God's foes.As Moses - Musa (peace be upon him ) grew up to be a man, he had to leave Pharaoh's land on a journey.
Some years later, Moses - Musa (peace be upon him ) and his family were traveling in the country, when all of a sudden, he saw a big fire. He told his family to stay where they were and went on his own to find out about the fire. As Moses - Musa (peace be upon him ) approached, he heard a voice: O Musa! the voice said, I am Allah, your nourisher. I am going to make you my Messenger - Prophet. You must go to the people and tell them that there is only one God, Allah, Who created them. So they must be thankful and implore only to Allah Almighty . Take your brother Harun (peace be upon him)with you and go to the Pharaoh and his people and give them My message.
Moses - Musa (peace be upon him ) had brought a book to his people which Allah Almighty had revealed to him on the mountain. This book is called the Taurat ( Torah ). In the Taurat, it is stated what men should not do. They must never worship anything else apart from Allah Almighty ( God Almighty ).
