(Moses)Musa, referred to in the Qur’an more than any other prophet, is significant for revealing the Tawrat to the ancient Egyptians. The Qur’an says Musa realized his connection with Allah after receiving commands from him during a stop at Mount Sinai. He later went on to free the enslaved Egyptians after failing to convince the Egyptian pharaoh of Allah’s power. Musa subsequently led the freed Egyptians for forty years through the desert on a long attempt to capture Canaan, the promised land. During this long journey, Musa received the Tawrat and the Ten Commandments during another trip to Mount Sinai. At the end of his life, according to Islamic tradition, Musa chose to die to be closer to Allah instead of taking an offer that would have extended his life.
