Egyptians suffered, they promised amendment and begged Moses to intercede and cause the plague to cease. But<br />

every time it ceased, they went back to their evil attitude, until the final retribution came. This is a type of the sinner's<br />

attitude for all times. (7.134)<br />

1093 The intercession of Moses was to pray. Each plague or penalty had its appointed term in Allah's decree. That term<br />

was duly fulfilled before the plague ceased. The intercession meant two things: (1) that Allah's name was invoked and<br />

His presence duly brought home to the mind and heart of the sinner who promised repentance, and (2) that the sinner<br />

was given a further chance when the prayer was accepted. This again is a universal truth. (7.135)<br />

2:156 - Who say when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong and to Him is our return."<br />

37:115 - And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity; 4108<br />

4108 What could have been a greater calamity to them than that they should have been held in slavery by the Egyptians,<br />

that their male children should have been killed and their female children should have been saved alive for the<br />

Egyptians? (37.115)<br />

40:28 - A believer a man from among the people of Pharaoh who had concealed his faith said: "Will<br />

ye slay a man because he says `My Lord is Allah'? When he has indeed come to you with<br />

Clear (Signs) from your Lord? And if he be a liar on him is (the sin of) his lie: but if he is telling<br />

the Truth then will fall on you something of the (calamity) of which he warns you: truly Allah<br />

guides not one who transgresses and lies! 439643974398<br />

64:11 - No kind of calamity can occur except by the leave of Allah: and if anyone believes in Allah<br />

(Allah) guides his heart (aright): for Allah knows all things. 5492<br />

5492 What we consider calamities may be blessings in disguise. Pain in the body is often a signal of something wrong,<br />

which we can cure by remedial measures. So in the moral and spiritual world, we should in all circumstances hold<br />

firmly to the faith that nothing happens without Allah's knowledge and leave; and therefore there must be some justice<br />

and wisdom according to His great universal Plan. Our duty is to find out our own shortcomings and remedy them. If<br />

we try to do so in all sincerity of heart, Allah will give us guidance. (64.11)<br />

75:25 - In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;<br />

52:30 - Or do they say "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!" 5064<br />

69:4 - he Thamud and the `Ad people (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity! 56365637<br />

48:22 - They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from Our gods? Then bring upon us<br />

the (calamity) with which thou dost threaten us if thou art telling the truth!" 4800<br />

48:24 - Then when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of ) a cloud traversing the sky coming to<br />

meet their valleys they said "This cloud will give us rain!" "Nay it is the (calamity) ye were<br />

asking to be hastened! a wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty! 4802<br />
