Commentary
Al-bahra – (Sea) here, aim from al-bahra is
the Red Sea (Arabian Gulf ). It is also called a deep sea. Through this sea
the Egypt meets with Syria and Siena . The Children of Israel entered
in the Peninsula of Siena after crossing this Sea and got
freedom from Pharaoh and folks of Egypt .
FaraqNaa bikumul-bahra - (We brought you through the
Sea). It indicates towards the incident mentioned in this verse that when the
Children of Israel began crossing the Red Sea, God Almighty
created for them a way to cross the sea. It was a Miracle of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) that when He beat His stick on the water of sea, the bottom
of the sea became dry and now there was a path for the Children of Israel to
cross the sea. According to historians, this incident happened nearly during
1447 B.C.
Wa ‘antum tanzuruun – (And you were looking). The
Children of Israel are being told that they had seen with their open
eyes the infamy and disgraced death of their greatest cruel and despotic king.
The Children of Israel used to bear the
cruelties of their tyrant kings of Egypt for many years. After all, they
devised that they should leave Egypt and go to their ancestor’s native
country Syria and Palestine under the supervision of Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him). Because the government of Egypt was not agreeing to permit them
leaving Egypt , so they started their journey at
night. They had fear of following by the Egyptian government, grief on leaving
their homes and utter darkness of night. Due to fear and confusion they forgot
the correct path.
On the other side, Pharaoh had known
that the Children of Israel had run away. He followed with his Army
and reached near them. Now the Jews were entirely helpless. In front of them,
there was sea in the east and behind them a great Egyptian Army. The Children
of Israel were very confused as they had been surrounded. At that time, Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) beat His stick in the sea according to the
commandment of God Almighty. The sea was cracked and the dry land appeared.
Caravan of the Children of Israel crossed the sea. Meanwhile the Army of
Pharaoh reached there. They saw dried path and dropped down. But they were
still in the middle of the way that the water became in a level and met
mutually itself. Pharaoh drowned along with his Army. The Children
of Israel looked the show of drowning their enemy helplessly with
their eyes. Above mentioned verse signifies towards such story.
