Explanatory Note
At the last moment, a bright ray of hope is clearly seen against the long dark night of stress and despair, as the route ahead opens at a point no one has ever thought of: “And We revealed to Moses: Strike the sea with your staff.” The sūrah does not give us further details so as to say that he complied with the order and struck the sea with his staff. All this is clearly understood.
The sūrah only gives us the result of his action: “So it divided, and each part was like a massive mountain.” So the miracle was there for all to see. What people describe as impossible became a reality before their own eyes. People only think of natural laws according to what is familiar to them, but natural laws are created by God and He is able to make them operate in accordance with His will, at any moment of His choosing. A miracle was enacted and the Children of Israel looked on. In between the waters of the sea, a passageway of dry land opened for them. The water stood still on both sides of the passage like great mountains, and the Israelites rushed to cross over.
