سُوْرَةُ الْقَصَصِ
Surah Al-Qasas (28) — Ayah 13
فَرَدَدْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿13﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the Promise of Allâh is true. But most of them know not.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
So We restored him to his mother, so that her eyes might be comforted and she would not grieve, and so that she would know that Allah’s promise is true. But most people [20] do not know.

The Return of Sayyiduna Musa (علیہ السلام) to His Mother:
When the mother of Musa was asked to stay in the palace to nurse the child, she presented the excuse that she was also responsible for looking after her household. Therefore, she could not perform this service while staying there. However, she could take the child with her and raise him. Thus, the people of Pharaoh accepted the excuse of Musa’s mother, and she brought the child to her home. In this way, not only did Musa (علیہ السلام) return to his mother’s embrace, but he also returned to his own home. In this manner, the promise Allah had made to Musa’s mother was also fulfilled, and the compensation the mother continued to receive from the royal treasury was an additional reward from Allah.
[20]
The Effect of a Religious Environment on His Personality:
That is, the promises made by Allah are always fulfilled, even if their possibilities seem completely non-existent. Or, it may be that people do not know that besides apparent causes, there are also hidden causes that are entirely under the control of Allah, and most people cannot know through which ways and stages Allah’s promises are fulfilled.
