[Musa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness). 25 And ease for me my task 26 And loose a knot from my tongue. 27 that they may understand my speech. 28 Appoint for me a minister from my family 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 Increase through him my strength 31 And share my task, 32 So that we should glorify Thee much, 33 “And profusely remember You.” 34 Surely, Thou art seeing us. 35 [Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses. 36 "And indeed, We bestowed Our favour upon thee at a time long since past, 37 When We revealed to your mother what was revealed; 38 "Cast him into the ark, and cast him into the river, and let the river throw him up on the shore. An enemy of Mine and his shall take him." And I loaded on thee love from Me, and to be formed in My sight, 39 when thy sister went out, saying, "Shall I point you to one to have charge of him?"
