68. 1. Seeing this terrifying scene, if Musa (peace be upon him) felt fear, then this was a natural thing, which is neither against the perfection of prophethood nor against infallibility. Because a prophet is also a human being, and he is neither above nor can be above the natural requirements of humanity. In any case, removing Musa’s (peace be upon him) apprehensions and fears, Allah Almighty said, Musa (peace be upon him), there is no need to fear in any way, you will prevail. With this sentence, all natural fears and other apprehensions were removed. And so it happened, as mentioned in the next verse.
