قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَمَكۡرٞ مَّكَرۡتُمُوهُ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ لِتُخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أَهۡلَهَاۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
[1723] Understandably, Pharaoh’s shock at this turn of events was so immeasurable that he spoke incoherently, bringing the full force of his wrath on the heads of his subordinates: chastising them for insubordination and defying his authority and blaming them for scheming with Moses (عليه السلام), whom he called in another account ‘their chief who taught them magic’ (cf. 20: 71), to ‘oust’ people from their land, the issue that exasperated him most (cf. Abū Ḥayyān).
لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
[1724] This punishment is the most severe in nature and is reserved for those who sow corruption in the land and wage war against the sovereign (cf. al-Saʿdī).
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
[1725] The firmness of Faith they attained in such a very short period of time is awe-inspiring and provides many great lessons (cf. Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Ṣawāʿiq al-Mursalah, 4/1389): “They said: “No harm! Verily to our Lord we are to return. *Truly we hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins for our having been the first of the Believers” (26: 50-51); “They said: “We never prefer you over what has come to us from the clear Signs and to Him Who created us. So you decree whatever you wish to decree, you can only decree about this worldly life. *We have Believed in our Lord so that He may forgive us for our mistakes and for the magic which you forced us to perform. Allah is better and longer lasting” (20: 72-73). This is what happens when rich knowledge meets pure intention: “…it is those of His servants who have knowledge who stand in true awe of Allah” (35: 28). What he threatened them with was nothing more than expediting them to a desirable destination; meeting their Lord.
وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنۡ ءَامَنَّا بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَآ أَفۡرِغۡ عَلَيۡنَا صَبۡرٗا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسۡلِمِينَ
[1726] This implies deriding Pharaoh for his skewed standards.
[1727] Muslimīn (plural form of muslim), i.e. totally submitted to God. Total submission to God and devotion to Him in worship is the basic meaning of Islām. All Prophets were ‘Muslim’ in as much as they were wholly devoted to God and sincerely submitted to Him in worship according to their own respective creeds. Needless to say, after Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was sent to mankind no other religion except Islam is accepted from anyone (cf. 3: 85).
وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوۡمَهُۥ لِيُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَءَالِهَتَكَۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَنَسۡتَحۡيِۦ نِسَآءَهُمۡ وَإِنَّا فَوۡقَهُمۡ قَٰهِرُونَ
[1728] They intended to hearten their master and spur him to clamp down on Moses and his people, serving only their own interests and privileges in the process. Readily, he followed their insinuations: “Then, when he brought the truth from Us to them, they said: “Kill the sons of those who Believe with him and let their womenfolk live.” The scheming of the Deniers is naught but astray” (40: 25). See how far apart the stand of this ruling elite was from that of the truly knowledgeable.
قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِ ٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصۡبِرُوٓاْۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ
[1729] He wanted to hearten them and remind them of the Divine canon that no one nation remains dominant indefinitely: “…those are the days We rotate them between people!” (3: 140); “We surely destroyed ˹other˺ peoples before you when they did wrong, and their Messengers had come to them with clear proofs but they would not Believe! This is how We reward the wicked people” (10: 13).
قَالُوٓاْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَأۡتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جِئۡتَنَاۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يُهۡلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمۡ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيۡفَ تَعۡمَلُونَ
[1730] They said this out of sheer desperation (cf. al-Jazā’irī).
[1731] This is not merely a wish but a prayer of a most noble Messenger of God and, somehow a promise to his people (cf. Abū Ḥayyān, Riḍā). What follows is a detailing of how this prayer was answered and the promise fulfilled. This is how great leaders shine like stars in the dark in the most adverse of circumstances.
وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَآ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقۡصٖ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
[1732] This marks the beginning of the end and ruination for Pharaoh and his people (cf. al-Rāzī). God in His Infinite Justice wanted to give them a chance to repent: “Not a Sign did We show them, but that it was greater than its sister. And We overtook them with the punishment, so that they might return ˹to the Right Path˺” (43: 48).
