Editing: al-Qasas

Description <p><strong>Explanatory Note</strong></p> <p>What about his mother though, who must have been justifiably apprehensive? She did as she was told and threw her child into the river. Where is he now though? Where has the river carried him? She might well have asked herself how she could have done such a thing. How could she even hope that he would find security in the midst of such danger?</p> <p>The sūrah portrays a telling picture of a poor mother’s anxious heart. It is <strong>“a void"</strong>, one whereby she is unable to think or act. <strong>“She would indeed have disclosed his identity,”</strong> betraying her own secret. We can imagine her being driven in a moment of despair to give the whole thing away: <strong>“Had We not strengthened her heart,”</strong> giving her added strength to deal with this very difficult situation. <strong>“So that she could continue to have faith.”</strong> She needed to have faith in God’s promise, to be patient in the adversity she was faced with and to continue to follow His guidance.</p>
