Answer:
Name of moses mother
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
The only female human being whom Allah Subhanah has chosen
to mention by name in His Glorious Quran is Hadrat Maryam, the chaste and noble
mother of the Noble Messenger of Allah, Isa (a.s.); and to the best of our
limited knowledge, there is absolutely no mention of the specific name of the
mother of Prophet Musa (a.s.) in the authentic and established Sunnah of the
Messenger of Allah (saws).
Whenever Allah Subhanah refers to an incident regarding
the mother of Prophet Musa (a.s.) in His Glorious Quran, He refers to her simply
as ‘Umme-Musa’ or the mother of Musa (a.s.))……
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 28 Surah
Qasas verse 7:
7 So We sent this inspiration to ‘Umme-Musa’ (the mother of Musa
(a.s.)): "Suckle (thy child, Musa (a.s.)) but when thou hast fears
about him cast him (the babe Musa (a.s.)) into the river, but fear not nor
grieve: for We shall restore him to thee and We shall make him one of Our
Messengers."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 28 Surah
Qasas verse 7:
10 But there came to be a void in the heart of ‘Umme-Musa’ (the
mother of Musa (a.s.)): she was going almost to disclose his (case) had
We not strengthened her heart (with faith) so that she might remain a (firm)
believer.
It is only in the Biblical records where one finds mention
of the name of the mother of Musa (a.s.) as ‘Jochebed’ (Bible Book of Exodus
6:20).
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
