Transliteration:( Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen )
"Therefore, I went away from you [28] when I feared you, then my Lord granted me judgment and made me one of the Messengers [29]."
Prophet Musa (عليه السلام) explains that he fled Egypt out of fear of Pharaoh's retaliation for the unintentional killing. His departure was not out of rebellion or betrayal, but a natural reaction to a threat to his life.
Musa (عليه السلام) then highlights the transformation in his life: Allah granted him "judgment" (wisdom and understanding) and elevated him to the rank of a Messenger. This establishes that his authority and mission are now divinely sanctioned, not based on his past but on Allah’s will and favour.
