Musa [a] happily accepted the invi-
tation and followed the maiden to
her father whom he found to be a
very kind, noble old man. His name
was Shu'ayb. Shu'ayb and his fam-
ily lived a very happy life in their
comfortable and peaceful home.
Musa [a] introduced himself to
Shu'ayb, explaining how he had
come to be in Madyan. He told
Shu'ayb the story of his youth and
upbringing and how he had lived as
a prince of Egypt in the palace of
Fir'awn. He described what had
happened to the Egyptian noble-
man and how he was forced to
leave Egypt. "
You are well rid of
them
", said Shu'ayb. "
Who would
live among such cruel people ? You
should thank Allah for your escape
,"
added Shu'ayb.
