About the Surah

[When most of the worries of Children of Israel were finished, they re-quested Musa ( ) to have a code of conduct so that they may follow it whole heartedly. Musa ( ) requested Allah and Allah invited him to mountain Tur, for Aitikaf]. We (initially) promised thirty nights for Musa ( ) and then added ten (nights) to it. Hence, he completed the term of forty nights appointed by his Creator. And Musa ( ) said to his brother Harun ( ): “Conduct the affairs in my absence, keep them on the Right Path and don’t follow the way of mis-chief-makers.”
