The Miserable Condition of the Israelites in Egypt:
In Egypt, the condition of the Israelites was even worse than that of the Shudras in India. They were not only a subjugated nation, but were also considered humiliated and disgraced. The people of Pharaoh would force them into various kinds of labor. Then they even sought to wipe out their lineage altogether. Allah Almighty did not only help His prophets by delivering them from their clutches, but also destroyed that tyrant before their eyes by drowning him in the sea.
