Transliteration:( Wa akhee Haaroonu huwa afsahu minnee lisaanan fa arsilhu ma'iya rid ai yusaddiquneee innee akhaafu ai yukazziboon )
94. Hazrat Haroon was the elder brother of Moses. Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace) would stammer because in his childhood he had placed a piece of burning coal in his mouth while he was staying with Pharaoh.
95. From this we come to know a few issues:
1. To seek assistance from the servants of Allah Almighty is the way of the Prophets and not an act of polytheism.
2. Through the prayer of the pious you can obtain those bounties which would not be possible to obtain from yourself. Observe, the prophethood of Hazrat Haroon (On whom be peace) is due to the prayer of Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace). No one can obtain prophethood through his pious deeds only.
3. In matters of Divine works one can seek the assistance of his servants says Allah Almighty: "And help each other in righteousness and piety" (S6:V2) (S5: V2)
4. With the help prayers(Duwa) of the pious some have been bestowed with prophethood. Thus, even today one can obtain sainthood, knowledge, children, kingdom, etc. through the kind prayers of the pious also.
96. And when I have to debate with them (Pharaoh), my tongue will prove an obstacle for me. From this we learn that the power of the tongue is a great bounty from Allah Almighty if it is controlled through piety. But without piety it is a form of punishment for that person. Its evil use has been mentioned in the Hadith Shareef also.
