| ENT_ISL_MUSA | SRC_QURAN | direct attestation | The most frequently mentioned prophet in the Quran: 136 mentions across 36 suras. Key passages: 2:51-61 (the Israelites in the wilderness); 7:103-162 (extended Moses narrative); 20:9-98 (Sura Ta-Ha: burning bush, Pharaoh, golden calf); 28:3-43 (Sura Al-Qasas: birth, exile, commissioning, exodus). The Quran treats Musa as a paradigmatic prophet whose community failed — a counter-example structuring the Islamic self-understanding of the umma. |
