Here we see that it is never too late to ask Allah for forgiveness and repent to Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ because he is the most forgiving and we need to take this chance before we loose it. Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ tells us that He is patient, He conceals faults and forgives sins. He may guide some of them from wrongdoing to true guidance, and whoever continues in his evil ways, then there will come to him a Day when his
negligence will not avail him.
We also learn that the first thing a believer should do is to return to Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ by humbling himself by making du'a to him for forgivness
Verse 59
“And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their
destruction an appointed time.”
the same will happen to you if you decide to keep rejecting the message. Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ does not destroy a nation at the first sin, rather he gives them time to repent and if they do not and they increase in sins then Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ holds them.

“And [mention] when Moses said to his servant, "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."”
The reason for Musa's conversation with the boy-servant, Yusha` bin Nun, was that he had been told about one of the servants of Allah at the junction of the two seas, who had knowledge which Musa had not been granted, so he wanted to travel to meet him.
Story of Musa ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴ and Khidr ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ: ﻠﻋ
Narrated Imam Al-Bukhari ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻪﻤﺣﺭ ,
I was told by Al-Hamidi after Sufyan after `Amr Ibn Dinar after Sa`id Ibn Jubair as saying: I said to Ibn
`Abbas: "Nauf AI-Bakali claims that Moses was not the Moses of Banu Israel but he was another Moses."
Ibn `Abbas ﻪﻨﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻲﺿﺭ remarked that the enemy of Allah (Nauj) was a liar. Narrated Ubai bin Ka `b: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Once Prophet Moses stood up and addressed Banu Israel. He was asked: "Who is the most learned man amongst the people?" He said: "I am the most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him,
"At the junction of the two seas there is a slave of mine who is more learned than you." Moses said: "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah Almighty said: "Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish." So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha` bin Nun and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their
Moses: {Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish}. Moses remarked: {That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps}, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al- Khadir replied saying: "How do people greet each other in your land?"
Moses said: "I am Moses." He asked: "The Moses of Banu Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and added: "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied: "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, 0 Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said: "Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey you in aught.
So both of them set out walking along the seashore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat (. to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare.Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said: "These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied: "Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses said: "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses was that he had forgotten.
Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said: "Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none." AI-Khadir replied: "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said: "If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied: "This is the parting between you and me."
The Prophet (Muhammad ﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻﻢﻠﺳ ) added:
"May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir."

1. Take the knowledge from others regardless of their status.
o This means, they don’t have to be the greatest scholars of the time for you to take knowledge from them. Some people want to travel to seek knowledge under other Shuyuk but neglect their local Shuyukh.
2. The student of knowledge should have a strong Determination.
o Musa ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ said he won’t stop until he gets to the place he would meet Khidr.
3. The student of knowledge should travel for the sake of Allah ﻰﻟﺎﻌﺗ ﻭ ﻪﻧﺎﺒﺳ.
o Musa ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ was the first totravel to seek knowledge.
4. The student of knowledge should be responsible for getting his own provision

“But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.”
He ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ had been commanded to carry a salted fish with him and it had been said to him, when you lose the fish, that will be a sign that you have reached the right place. So they set out and traveled until they reached the junction of the two seas, where there was a spring called `Ayn Al-Hayat (the Spring of Life). They went to sleep there, and the fish felt the drops of that water, so it came back to life. It was in a vessel with Yusha`, ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ, and it jumped out of the vessel towards the sea. Yusha` woke up and the fish fell into the water and started to swim through the water, leaving a track or channel behind it.
When Musa ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ, Yusha’ ﻡﻼﺴﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ forgot to tell him about the incident.
