🏵️🏵️ From an Islamic perspective, the portrayal of figures in the Quran and Hadith is rooted in their guidance for humanity. According to Quran 28:7, Allah commanded the mother of Moses (Musa) to throw him into the river, ensuring his safety and eventual leadership. This shows that divine intervention was crucial in his story, emphasizing an understanding of God's will rather than any association with goddess worship. Furthermore, Quran 4:116 states that Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, reinforcing the monotheistic focus in Islam. Moses’ sister, played a pivotal role in his early life. In Quran 28:11, it mentions how she followed the basket to see what would become of her brother, illustrating her bravery and deep care for him. This highlights the significance of her character and the protective bond she shared with her brother, rather than any goddess-like association.
