Moses (Arabic: موسى ابن عمران Mūsā ibn ʿImrān, lit. ' Moses, son of Amram ') [1] is a prominent prophet and messenger of God and is the most frequently mentioned individual in the Quran, with his name being mentioned 136 times and his life being narrated and recounted more than that of any other prophet.
