Great Muslim commentary about Moses and God

This is one of many enjoyable commentaries that I have read on the Arab News website. This one is particularly instructive for Christians because you can see first hand that the Qur'an contains much information that is in the Christian Old Testament. The passages from the Qur'an quoted here cover the part where Moses asks for strength from God before going to Pharoah to challenge him to stop persecuting the Israelites and to free them.

The commentary is a very nice example of how God encourages his prophets.

This is one reason I despair of Christians who are hostile to the Qur'an and Islam in general. Here is much information about both the Israelites and Christians, and God's work among them, which is the great commonality among the faiths of Abraham. When people mock or harm the Qur'an they are harming words about Jesus, Mary, Moses and the other holy people too.
