Today's Ayah No 72 is continuation of story, 'Musa and Khizar AS'. Two men set out on a journey. Khizar AS has been bestowed upon special knowledge from Allah swt. Through this eventful journey of two great men, Allah swt wanted to teach us important lessons. One that no matter how much knowledge we claim to possess, it is but limited. Two, we are impatient by default whether its our basic instincts, out of curiosity, haste to see results, quick profits, speedy rewards (both due and undue) etc.
Allah's men embark upon the journey with understanding between two men that Musa AS shall remain quiet and observe what would happen out there. But right at the out set when Khizar AS damaged the boat, it appeared that boat might submerge and people on booard could go to watery grave. Musa AS due to his buoyant, indefatigable and spirited nature couldn't help spectate the situation quietly. So, he instantly questioned Khizar AS' action rather judged him. Reasons behind drowing a boat and people on board were not as important as rules of the game that Musa AS would remain quiet throughout the journey and wouldn't question unless invited to ask. But Musa AS' curious and spontaneous question cum obsevstion was clear-cut violation of the terms of the journey. Khizar AS turned to Musa AS and told him that he couldn't keep his promise. He couldn't keep patienc as he had promised at the begining of the journey. It can be deduce that Khizar AS' special gift inter alia was insight into human psyche. According to his prediction, great Musa AS couldn't keep patience.
Boat wreckage was first of three incidents that took place during their journey. Let's find out what happened next in coming weeks.
May Allah keep you in his protection till next week and eternity. Ameen
