Jews: How do you identify yourself with Prophet Moses (PBUH)?

Question

His qualities: how do they reflect on you?

Respectfully,
Muslimah

Answer 1

hmm this is a deep question.

I would first say I dont think the answer is going to be the same for ever person. Different people have different attributes and qualities.

but speaking for my self the one major quality I hope to share with Moses and to a greater degree Aaron. Is my un-shaking love and loyalty to my people Moses and Aaron both had this quality and like I said I can only hope mine somewhat compares to theirs.

Answer 2

Moshe Rabbeinu is our teacher and law-giver. We have much to learn from his personal qualities, especially his quality of humility.
Likewise we learn much from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Miriam, Aaron, Joseph, David, Solomon, Samuel, Joshua and the rest.

Moses understood he was first and foremost a servant of God...and the teachings of God that he passed on, both orally and in written form, have had a profound impact, not only on Jews, but on every society on earth.

Answer 3

God of Moses and God of Jesus is One and the same God____ an Alone Unseen God. It is even recorded in the Gospels that Jesus said:
“But when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your God. Who is Unseen and your God, who sees, what you do in private will reward you”.
(Matthew 6:6)

“No one is good except God alone”
(Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19)
since Adam to Noah__ Noah to Abraham__ Abraham to David, David to Moses__ Moses to Jesus and Jesus to Muhammad (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them) all the Prophets were slaves or servants of the Lord. And, in their servant-n-master or slave-n-lord based relationship__ all of them had__ all the qualities of servants & slaves definitely. That is why that all of them stood as servants & slaves of the Lord__ throughout their lives__ and obeyed their Lord in the most positive terms.
No doubt, it is a matter of simple common-sense that when God is One__ the Lord is One__ the saviour is one__ the Holy and Only One__ then, how his slaves or servants__ can be held as worthy of the honour & service__ which is meant for the Holy One alone. But alas! The people are honouring and serving the slaves and servants__ just like the Lord. Rather, they have chosen them as God & the Lord__ in place of the Holy One. And__ Christians are the pioneers of such ideas. They have straightaway declared Jesus as God & Lord and the Saviour. Rather, they hold Jesus as the sole sovereign of the Day of Judgement, instead of the Lord, the Almighty God, the Holy One.
Like Jesus, Mary and Moses every Prophet and every righteous person has praised__ honoured__ and worshipped the Lord, alone. So, the followers of all the Scriptures, should naturally praise__ honour__and worship the Lord alone as that__ and only that__ is the true faith and all of us should keep our Lord alone as our saviour with us here and hereafter.
Torah, Psalms, Gospel and Quran, all the Scriptures are saying that God is One, the Holy One. So whosoever does not believe in One God, he is definitely denying all the Scriptures. Such a person can not be considered as a believer at all.

No Prophet or a righteous-man has ever dared to say that he, himself, should be honoured like God or worshipped like God. Satan, of course, had certainly said to Jesus to worship him in place of God but Jesus had responded in the following way:-

“Go away Satan! The Scripture says: Worship the Lord you God and serve only the Lord.”
(Matthew 4:10)

In the same way, Jesus has responded in his prayer on the cross while uttering the following lines of the Verse No.23:-

“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord!
Honour the Lord, you descendants of Jacob!
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel!”
The Lord, the One God, is the All-Alone Lord, as it is written in Torah (the Law of Moses). The Lord should be positively trusted, in respect of every problem. One should beseech, only before the Lord for his salvation as the Day of Resurrection is the Lord’s Day alone. The horror of that very Day, is so overwhelming that everyone will be extremely worried for his own salvation alone.

It is written in the Revelation: Al-Quran.
“Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto you, O’ Mohammad) and those who are Jews and Christians and the Sabaeans (Armenians or Indians etc) ___ whosoever believes in Allah (the One and Alone Lord) and the Day of Judgement and does right___ surely their reward is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve.”
(Al-Quran 2:62)

Answer 4

In Hebrew, we refer to Moses as "Moshe Rabenu", which means Moses our teacher. As such, we seek to emulate him, especially his humility, as he was known as the humblest of all men. Thus, I can honestly say it would be arrogant and presumptuous of me to state that his qualities are reflected upon me. I would prefer to say that his qualities inspire me.

Answer 5

I honestly have no idea what you mean.
To me, Moses was the greatest prophet ever and a great leader and role model.
