And even though surrounded by hardships, he encouraged Bani Israel to observe patience and perseverance and he said: قَالَ مُوسَى‏ لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَقِبَةُ لِلْمُتِّقِينَ‏ “Musa said to his people: Ask help from Allah and be patient; surely the land is Allah’s; He causes such of His servants to inherit it as He pleases, and the end is for those who guard (against evil).” (7:128) The people of Musa (a.s.), whose patience was depleted, said: قَالُواْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِن بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا “They said: We have been persecuted before you came to us and since you have come to us.” (7:129) In order to encourage and motivate them, Prophet Musa (a.s.) said: قَالَ عَسَى‏ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَ يَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ‏ “He said: It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land; then He will see how you act.” (7:129) In the final days of his important and risky office, Prophet Musa (a.s.) displayed such perseverance that in the end he was successful and destroyed Firon and his accursed tyranny and saved Bani Israel from the disgrace of slavery, oppression, torture and killings at the hands of the Egyptians.

In the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah says: فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْاْ إِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ “Continue then in the right way as you are commanded, as also he who has turned (to Allah) with you, and be not inordinate (O men!), surely He sees what you do.” (11:112) The Prophet of Islam, throughout the period of his messengership and even at the beginning of his call, explained his message clearly and decisively and did have any fear of the multitude of the enemies.
