What is Juz by Juz: Musa and Firawn about?
Juz by Juz: Musa and Firawn is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children tell the Qur'an story of how Prophet Musa (AS) led his people away from Fir'awn, and Allah parted the sea.
Musa called Fir'awn again and again to believe in Allah, but Fir'awn refused. So Musa left Egypt at night with all his people, while everyone was asleep. In the morning Fir'awn found them gone and flew into a rage, and he set off after them with his huge army. When Musa's people reached the sea, with Fir'awn right behind them, they panicked. But Musa was sure: his Lord was with him and would guide him. Allah parted the sea, and the waves stood up on either side, each like the tallest mountain you can imagine. Musa and his people crossed safely. Fir'awn followed them in, and when the water came down on him he said he believed, but it was too late.
The Sheikh uses the story to teach the dua for leaving the house. When we say it, Allah protects us and Shaytan is kept far away. He also explains what it means to worship Allah: to pray, make dua, fast and do everything He asks.
The children pull their angriest faces for Fir'awn, draw the tallest thing they can think of and something we do in Ramadan, and answer a quiz about the rak'ahs of Fajr, which hand we eat with, and leaving the house.
