Answer:

"Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part of that sea water became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain” (26:63).

Almighty Allah decided to put an end to the Paraoh's torture, to the Children of Israel, in spite of sending Musa (AS) and Harun AS) as Messengers. Allahuthala had offered multiple chances to Firaun and his people to believe and accept Allah. But Firaun remained arrogant, even after witnessing numerable clear signs. Thereupon, Allah inspired Musa (AS) by directing: "Take away My slaves by night, (from Egypt) verily, you will be pursued." (26:52). During the darkness of night, Musa (AS) led them towards the Red Sea.

When Firaun became aware of their departure, he sent callers to all the cities. Claiming, "Verily! These indeed are but a small band. And verily, they have done what has enraged us. But we are host all assembled, amply fore-warned." Allah ﷻ claimed: “So, ‘We’ expelled them from gardens and springs,  treasures, and every kind of honourable place . Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.” “So they pursued them at sunrise” (26:57 to 60).

And when the two hosts saw each other, the companion (Joshua Ibn Nun) of Musa (AS) exclaimed: "We are sure to be over-taken." (26:61) “In front of us is this barrier, the sea and behind us the enemy; surely death cannot be avoided!" Musa (AS) with strong faith in Allah said: "Nay, verily! With me is my Lord, He will guide me." (26:62).

Then Allah [SWT] inspired Musa (AS) to part the sea.  And  Children of Israel escaped through path formed on the sea.  Firaun's party in oppression and enmity, followed during which drowning over-took them.

We saved Musa (AS) and all those with him safely. Then We drowned the others especially the elite of Pharaoh’s tyrannical kingdom.” “Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers (26:65 - 67).

Lesson to be learnt:

● Allahuthala is capable of doing anything and everything.

● Allah gives a way out for anyone who is suffering for a long time.

● His servants are expected to have strong faith, patience, resilience and trust  in Allahuthala. 

● Divine guidance will  come in right time.

● Face challenges with patience, perseverance and prayer.
