Pharaoh saw a dream wherein he saw that a child from the slave class-the Children of Israel-would rise up and overthrow him.
And after that, he started to murder every male child that was born to the Children of Israel. It was at a time like this that Moses was born.
And in the midst of all of it, God chose this boy over all others to be miraculously saved. Thus, God sent His divine instructions to the Mother of Moses(A.S).
God gives her two commands-breastfeed him and throw him into a basket and into the river,
two pieces of counsel for the heart-
do not be afraid and do not be sad,
and two promises-
that he will be returned and that he will be a messenger.
God gave two commands,
one which made sense (breastfeeding),
and one which apparently made no sense (throwing a child into the river!!?).
The mother of Moses didn't pick and choose. She obeyed her Lord regardless, and she was feeling apprehensive, which was normal.
God gave her two pieces of counsel, and two promises.
The lesson we learn here is that despite what it might look like, in the hardest of times obeying God even if it looks and sounds "weird" is the way forward.
Take the right decision based on what God says, and know that if you obey God there is nothing to be fearful about and nothing to be sad about, and that the promise of God is true, even if you do not see it at the moment.
Did the mother of Moses have any idea that her son would even survive? Let alone becoming a messenger and being returned to her?
God promised the mother of Moses that she would be reunited with her son. She was given two commands and she fulfilled them.
And then, God out of His Mercy and Benevolence, reunited the mother with her child. Instead of a life trying to keep her son from being killed, now she was protected by the same people who were supposed to kill her.
Moreover, she was now an employee in the Royal Palace and was being paid to do what she would have done anyway-take care of her son!
God promised her the return of her child, but God not only fulfilled His promise but gave her even more.
As God says in the Quran,
"Whoever is conscious of God, He will make a way for him from every difficulty, and provide for Him from sources He could never have imagined. Whoever puts their trust in God, then He is sufficient for them."(Quran 65:2-3)
