IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[20:9]
AND HAS the story of Moses ever come within thy ken?


* v.9 : Apart from two short references to Moses in earlier sūrahs (53:36 and 87:19), the narrative appearing in verses 9-98 is undoubtedly the earliest Qur’anic exposition of the story of Moses as such. Its mention at this stage is connected with the reference to revelation at the beginning of this sūrah (verses 2-4) and, generally, with the Qur’anic doctrine of the basic ideological unity of all revealed religions.
