Fear of Pharaoh and his chieftains

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ 5  وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَحْذَرُونَ 6

5.  And We desired to show favor unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them leaders and to  make them the inheritors –   6.  And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haamaan and their hosts that which they feared from them.

5.  Wa  Nuriidu  ‘an-namunna  ‘alal-laziinas-tuz-‘ifuu  fil-‘arzi  wa  Naj-‘ala-hum  ‘a-‘imma-tanw-wa  Naj-‘ala-humul-waarisiin.   6.  Wa  Numakkina  lahum  fil-‘arzi  wa  Nuriya  Fir-‘awna  wa  Haamaana  wa  junnuda-humaa  minhum-maa  kaanuu  yahzaruun.

Commentary

 

It is commanded: Pharaoh had rebelled. He was thinking that he should destroy the Children of Israel. Allaah Almighty had contrived to make such people rich with His rewards and appoint them leaders, to whom Pharaoh desired to ruin, and replace them by removing Pharaoh and his courtiers, and give authority and power of the Country under their jurisdiction, and involve Pharaoh, his Minister Haamaan, his followers and supporters in the same danger; in which they had involved the Children of Israel, for escaping from which they used to slaughter their new born sons as soon as they used to know. Astrologers of the Court of Pharaoh had frightened him that a Man in the Children of Israel will be born in near future, by whom the evil will come upon him. His empire will be ruined. He and his entire Army will be killed.

 

It was the reason that Pharaoh caused to slay thousands of sons of the Children of Israel, but by the Omnipotence of Allaah Almighty, Moses (peace be upon him) was born during that period and was nourished in Pharaoh’s own palace.

Commentary

 

Entangled in enemies from all around, few people have been suffering from afflictions of various sorts and do not utter grief. Their hearts boil up that they should kill and die, but they are commanded that they should remain silent and bear troubles; but shake not even a finger. They have been carrying out the Order wholeheartedly and enduring soul tormenting calamities for complete thirteen years, not for one or two days, with amazing patience and constancy. What was that Power which had supported them strongly? That was nothing but only the Revelations mentioned in Holy Qur’an. You also should listen to them and meditate on their miraculous effects.

 

It is commanded: These are the Verses of that Holy Scripture, meanings of which are very clear. Now We recite to you from the News of Moses (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh for a people who believe, so that they must not be disheartened from the tyrannies of their enemies. Pharaoh had become very powerful in his Country. He divided the people of his Country in different factions and made one of those classes weak violently. He tyrannized over the people of that class very much, who were the Children of Israel. At last, the condition reached such point that he ordered to slaughter their new born sons and keep their females alive. He considered that there was none greater than him and he was able to do in accord with own wishes. Indeed he was a great corruptor.
