فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ 20 فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ 21 ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ 22 فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ 23 فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ 24 فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ 25 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ 26 (ع) ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا 27 رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا 28 |

20. And
he showed him the tremendous token. 21. But
he denied and disobeyed, 22. Then
turned he away in haste, 23. Then
gathered he and summoned 24. And
proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 25. So
Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the
former. 26. Lo!
Herein is indeed a lesson for him who fears. 27. Are
you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? 28. He
raised the height thereof and ordered it; |
It is commanded: Moses (peace be upon him) said to Pharaoh: Don’t boast but be aware! Allaah is the Greatest. He has appointed me as a Messenger and sent for causing you to understand.
As a proof of Messenger-hood, Moses (peace be upon him) showed biggest token to Pharaoh, put his staff on the ground which became a dragon. Then he put his hand under his armpit and took it out, which began to glitter like sun. Pharaoh feared but his misfortune was powerful. He said about the miracle that it was magic. So he denied from accepting, turned his back and began to find tactics that Moses (peace be upon him) must be defeated in any way. He gathered his followers and called out: O people! I am your most exalted lord.
Allaah Almighty disliked his nonsense talk; seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first
transgression; destroyed him in the world very badly and a painful doom
is ready for him on the Day of Resurrection. By meditating in his worst
consequence, only those people can learn; whose hearts fear. Ask from the
people who do not believe in the life after death: Is your creation a more difficult matter or the creation of the heaven? Allaah
Almighty constructed such a great thing and raised its ceiling so much high
that none can reach there. Then after proportioning it, He fixed every
necessary thing at its proper place.
