Harun ﷺ (Aaron) was the older brother of Musa. When Allah chose Musa to be a Prophet, Musa made a beautiful dua from his heart: O Allah! Give me a helper from my own family — my brother Harun! Make him share my work — so we can remember You a lot and praise You a lot!
Allah granted this straight away! He said: We will strengthen you through your brother and give you both power!
Together, Musa and Harun stood in front of the most powerful king in the world and called him to worship Allah. What a brave pair of brothers! 🦁
A good brother or sister who helps you do good things is one of the best gifts from Allah! Look after your siblings! 💛
While Musa was on the mountain, people made a golden calf to worship. Harun tried very hard to stop them! He said: O my people! This is a test — your real Lord is the Most Merciful! Follow me! But they nearly turned on him.
When Musa came back down and saw what happened, he was filled with great zeal for Allah. He held his brother by the beard out of great concern.
Harun said calmly and lovingly: O my dear brother — do not do this! I was afraid that if I acted too strongly I would cause a split between the people — and I wanted to wait for you!
Then Musa made dua: O my Lord — forgive me and my brother and put us in Your mercy!
When something concerns us, we turn to Allah with dua — just like Musa did! Dua is always the best response. 💛
Harun stood beside his brother Musa with bravery and love. He tried his best to guide his people even when it was very hard. He was a gentle, eloquent, and devoted Prophet.
