Darul Qasim Sunday Tafseer

28:7-13. The session begins with a discussion of the word wahy and it's specific usage for the primoridal instinct of a mother to nurse her child. Wahy may come to certain individuals, but the reception of wahy does not make the recipient a Nabi. The distinction is that a Nabi is required to reveal the wahy received, while a non-Nabi is required to conceal it. The wisdom behind the inspiration that the mother of Musa (AS) received lies in the fact that ordinarily there would be no motivation to suckle a child that is destined to be slain by the police of the Fir'awn. But the mother of Musa (AS) was inspired to nurse him. And the rest of her actions that are borne by the wahy she received defiy all logic and rationale. Wahy is above all logic and rationale. It comes from a realm where the seemingly contradictory come together in perfect harmony. This verse embodies a universal parenting philosophy with the mother of Musa (AS) serving as a role model.
