AARON:
20:25 - (Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast;" 2552
20:29 - "And give me a Minister from my family
20:30 - Aaron my brother;
20:31 - "Add to my strength through him 2554
2552 The breast is reputed to be the seat of knowledge and affections. The gift of the highest spiritual insight is what he
prays for first. Cf. xciv. 1. This was the most urgent in point of time. There are three other things he also asks for: viz.
(1) Allah's help in his task, which at first appears difficult to him, (2) the gift of eloquence, and the removal of the
impediment from his speech; and (3) the counsel and constant attendance with him of his brother Aaron, whom he
loved and trusted, for he would otherwise be alone among the Egyptians. (20.25)
2553 Literally, "Loosen a knot from my tongue". (20.27)
2554 Literally, "Strengthen my back with him". A man's strength lies in his back and backbone so that he can stand erect
and boldly face his tasks. (20.31)
19:53 - And out of Our Mercy We gave him his brother Aaron (also) a prophet. 2505
2505 Moses was diffident, and reluctant to go to Pharaoh as he had an impediment in histongue, and he asked that his
brother Aaron should be associated with him in his mission. Allah in His Mercy granted his request; xx. 25-36. (19.53)

ABANDONED HOMES;
2:243 - Didst thou not turn thy vision to those who abandoned their homes though they were
thousands (in number) for fear of death? Allah said to them: "Die." Then He restored them to
life. For Allah is full of bounty to mankind but most of them are ungrateful. 274
274 We now return to the subject of Jihad, which we left at n. 214-216. We are to be under no illusion about it. If we are
not prepared to fight for our faith, with our lives and all our resources, both our lives and our resources will be wiped
out by our enemies. As to life, God gave it, and a coward is not likely to save it. It has happened again and again in
history that men who tamely submitted to be driven from their homes although they were more numerous than their
enemies had the sentence of death pronounced on them for their cowardice, and they deserved it. But God gives
further and further chances in His mercy. This is a lesson to every generation. The Commentators differ as to the
exact episode referred to, but the wording is perfectly general, and so is the lesson to be learnt from it. (2.243)
9:16 - Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned as though Allah did not know those among you who
strive with might and main and take none for friends and protectors except Allah His apostle
and the (community of) believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. 1265
1265 We must all be tested and tried, but Allah knows our inmost hearts, and He will support those who strive in His way,
out of sincere love for Him, His Prophet, and the body of the true men of faith. (9.16)
