Strah i ljutnja – primarne emocije u Kur’anskom kazivanju o Musau, a.s.
Fear and Fury – Principal Emotions in the Qur’anic Narrative about Musa A.S.

Summary/Abstract: Musa, a.s., is the most represented human character in the Qur’an. He is a messenger of Allah and the national leader of Israelites. The Qur’an portrays him vividly and very realistically, as a human being with fears, who shows his resentments and aggression, who complains, gets angry and repents. Fear and anger are primary human emotions and we often see them depicted in events in the life of Musa a.s. depicted in the Qur’an. The turbulent and uncertain destiny of his people and of himself is a constant cause of fear and anger in Musa a.s. He, thus, shows fear in his first meeting with Allah Tea’la, (fear of the unknown), fear of the serpent and fear of the pharaoh and his court. His anger he shows in disputes with God’s servant (Hidr a.s.), with his brother Harun a.s., the tablets upon which Allah Tealah’s directions were inscribed and against the man whom he kills. However, Musa a.s. also repents and returns to Allah Tea’la after every mistake that he commits.
