وَاجۡعَل لِّیۡ وَزِیۡرًا مِّنۡ اَہۡلِیۡ
Moses did not feel himself equal to the great task entrusted to him. He asked for a helper to assist him. The Holy Prophet to whom an infinitely heavier and more onerous task was entrusted never prayed to be given an assistant. He alone, unassisted and unhelped, discharged fully and completely the responsibility of raising a people, sunk deep into the depths of moral turpitude, to the highest pinnacle of spiritual glory.
Important Words:
وزیر (helper) is derived from وزر (wazara). وزر الشیء means, he bore the thing. وزر الرجل means, the man carried a weight which burdened his back. وزر الرجل means, he overcame or overwhelmed the man. وزر also means, he sinned. وزیر means, helper; one who helps a person in carrying his burden; a minister who helps the king by his counsel in conducting the affairs of the State (Aqrab).
Commentary:
What a contrast between Moses and the Holy Prophet Muhammad! Whereas Moses here asks for a helper for the discharge of a lighter responsibility, the Holy Prophet who was entrusted with an infinitely heavier and more onerous task never prayed to be given an assistant. He, alone, unhelped and unassisted, discharged fully and completely the responsibility of raising a people, sunk deep into the depths of moral turpitude, to the highest pinnacles of spiritual glory. Even in moments of mortal danger he was never discouraged or dismayed. The brave words which he uttered on the battle-field of Hunain when he was left alone surrounded by bloodthirsty enemies and sure death stared him in the face, viz. انا النبی لا کذب انا ابن عبدالمطلب "I am the Prophet of God, there is no untruth about it, I am the son of ‘Abdil-Muttalib," (Bukhari, Kitabul-Jihad was-Siyar) have resounded through the centuries.

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَیۡنَا مُوۡسَی الۡکِتٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا مَعَہٗۤ اَخَاہُ ہٰرُوۡنَ وَزِیۡرًا
20:30-33; 26:14; 28:35.
الؔ اس چیز کے لئے بھی آتا ہے جس کا ذکر پہلے ہو چکا ہو یا جس کا خیال دماغ میں ہو۔ اس لئے ہم نے اَلْکِتٰب کا ترجمہ ’’معلوم کتاب‘‘ کیا ہے۔

20:30-33; 26:16; 28:35.
Commentary:
The wages of sin is death. Opposition to God’s Prophets has always resulted in discomfiture and destruction of the enemies of truth. The present Surah cites examples of some such Prophets whose people defied them and persecuted them and by their evil deeds drew upon themselves Divine wrath. Pride of place in this connection is given in this Surah to Moses who was the greatest Prophet of Israel. He thought that the great mission with which he was entrusted was beyond his power. So he begged God to give him Aaron, his brother, as his assistant to help him in his great work. Thus Aaron was a subordinate Prophet to Moses. See also 20:30-35.
