Translation

Moses said, “My Lord! Verily, I am afraid that they will accuse me of being a liar.”

Tafsir

When Allah (swt) gave a mission to Musa 'alaihis-salâm', Musa 'alaihis-salâm' felt the weight of this mission on his back and shuddered. Because he had committed a crime before. In this respect, the situation of being slaughtered also arises. In this case, since he had grown up to a certain age among Pharaoh and his followers, he knew the feelings of these oppressors and how they would behave. My Lord said, 'Indeed, I fear that they will accuse me of being a liar.

Because when he went to Pharaoh and told him that he was a Prophet, a messenger of Allah, he knew that Pharaoh, in whose hands he had grown up, would not believe him. In this respect, he has expressed his fears to Allah (swt).

What is said in the video

Moses said. Verse 12 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara. Moses said: "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will accuse me of lying."

Why will they call him a liar, a liar, lies, deny him? Moses, his youth, or rather his childhood stage, right from when he was swaddled, he grew up in Pharaoh's hands. He grew up in his palace.

At one (?) time, one day, while Moses was walking around the city, (?) in the guise of the people of the Children of Israel, in a weak and powerless state, is fighting with a Copt. Since Moses is just, in order to help this weak one, he pushes the Copt; the Copt staggers backwards, falls, his head hits the pavement and he dies of a brain haemorrhage. And Moses, thinking that he would be killed, flees. Where to? To the Prophet Zechariah. Shu'ayb's (peace be upon him) daughter (?) (?)

On the way back, 8-9 years have passed, 10 years have passed.

In prayer he hears the word of Allah Almighty. He sees a fire. He says, "Let me bring you a fire from that fire. Perhaps you will warm yourselves. Or if I see someone there, I will ask the way," he says. There Allah Almighty says, "O Moses, do not run away." When he sees Him and He speaks, He says, "Come. I am your Lord; you go to Pharaoh. Tell him." When He says this - he had already fled from Pharaoh. Since he fled from Pharaoh: "If they catch me, I fear they will harm me." That is, they will kill me. That is what he means anyway. What does he say? In this case, well, let us read the verse - what does it say here in the verse?

"To Pharaoh's people - will they still not guard themselves?" Moses said: "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will accuse me of lying." Well, now, I killed a man. If I now go to him and say I came from your Lord, and say I am a prophet, what will he say? "Didn't you grow up with me?" That is what he is saying. Yes. In this case, upon the task that Allah Almighty gave to Moses (peace be upon him), Moses (peace be upon him), feeling the weight of this task on his back, shudders. What will he shudder at? At Pharaoh - Pharaoh has (?) He will go to Pharaoh and say, "Hand these over." Wouldn't a person truly shudder?

Because he himself had committed a crime before. For this reason, the prospect of being killed also arises. In this case, since he had grown up among Pharaoh and his gang up to a certain age, he knows how these tyrants will act with their feelings. He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will accuse me of lying." Because he knew that when he went to Pharaoh and said, "I am a prophet, Allah's messenger," the Pharaoh in whose hands he grew up would not believe this. For this reason, he presented his fears to Allah Almighty.
