Islamic view of Aaron

Islamic view of Aaron

Haroon ("circa" 1439 BC - 1317 BC?), [ [http://www.thetruthoflife.org/messengers_musa.htm The Truth of Life ] ] [ [http://www.zainab.org/commonpages/ebooks/english/short/prophets.htm :: www.zainab.org ] ] ( _ar. هارون) was a prophet biblical times mentioned in the Qur'an. In the Bible he is known as Aaron (Aharōn in Hebrew). It is believed that Haroon lived for 122 years. [ [http://www.thetruthoflife.org/messengers_musa.htm The Truth of Life ] ] [ [http://www.zainab.org/commonpages/ebooks/english/short/prophets.htm :: www.zainab.org ] ]

Haroon was the younger brother of Musa, who in the Bible is known as Moses. Along with his brother, he was a prophet who was tasked by God with saving the Israelites from the tyrannical Pharaoh. Haroon was a gifted speaker, and would often speak for Musa who suffered from a speech impediment. He was largely responsible with teaching the Israelites the way of worship as it was laid out in the Torah of that time.

According to Qur'an, Musa prayed to God to grant him fluency of speech, and grant his brother Haroon the gift of prophecy so that he may help him and be a deputy to him in all his tasks ahead. God granted Musa his requests and told him that he could take his brother along with him, and told him to be gentle in his language and be patient in all his dealings.

Islam holds that Haroon held no part in causing the Israelites to worship the golden calf. Rather, he was overpowered and was threatened with being killed by his people. When Musa returned from the mount, he immediately blamed Haroon and seized him by his beard, but Haroon then gave his explanation, after which Musa prayed to God to forgive both of them.

Prophet Haroon died at Mount Hor.

Islamic tradition holds that his sons were Shabbar, Shabbir and Mushabbar.
