[ طه: 77]

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(20:77) We *52 sent this Revelation to Moses: "Set forth with My servants during the night and make for them a dry path across the sea. *53 Have no fear of being overtaken nor be afraid (while passing through the sea)."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*52) Here the details of the events which happened during the long period of Prophet Moses' stay in Egypt have been omitted. For these please see VII: 130-147, X: 83-92, XL: 23-5O and XLIII: 46-56.
*53) This happened when God at last appointed a night for the exodus of the lsraelites and the other Muslims from Egypt. They were asked to gather at a fixed place and set forth as a caravan. Just at the time when they reached the coast of the Red Sea Prom where they had to cross to the Sinai Peninsula, Pharaoh arrived there with a large army in their pursuit. We learn from XXVI: 61 -63 that when they were literally between the devil and the deep sea, Allah commanded Moses to smite the sea with his staff and according to this verse the sea tore asunder and stood like two high walls on both sides, leaving a dry path between them for the caravan to pass. Thus, it is quite clear and plain that it was a miracle, and not the result of a wind storm or tide, for when the water rises in this way it does not remain standing like two high walls, leaving a dry path between them. ( For details see E.N. 47 of Chapter XXVI).
