Prophet Musa A.S. and his mother

After the death of his mother, Prophet Musa A.S. went again to Kohi-Toor. This time he found Kohi- Toor and its surroundings much more forbidding than they had ever been before. He arrived at the designated place in a state of fright.

Moses entreated God to enlighten him why he was haunted by such nameless fears.

He heard this reply: In the past whenever you visited Kohi – Toor, your mother started praying for you. She begged that I show My Mercy to you she invoked My Grace upon you, and she implored that I overlook your oversights and forgive your errors. I do listen to the prayers of a mother for her son. But now she is dead, and her prayers have gone with her. You are therefore no longer being shielded by the prayers of your mother.

Therefore, take heed and warning lest your err. And this is the reason for your terror’.
