The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا
مِن بَعْدِهِم
مُّوسَى وَهَارُونَ
إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ
وَمَلَئِهِ
بِآيَاتِنَا...
10: 75. Then after them sent We Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our Signs.
C1461. The story of Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh is fully told in 7:103-137, and there are references to it in many places in the Quran.
The incidental reference here is to illustrate a special point, viz., that
- the wicked are arrogant and bound up in their sin, and prefer deception to Truth:
- they do not hesitate to charge the men of Allah, who work unselfishly for them, with mean motives, such as would actuate them in similar circumstances!
...فَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴿٧٥﴾
But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin.
فَلَمَّا
جَاءهُمُ الْحَقُّ
مِنْ عِندِنَا
قَالُواْ إِنَّ
هَـذَا لَسِحْرٌ
مُّبِينٌ ﴿٧٦﴾
10: 76. When the Truth did come to them from Us, they said:
"This is indeed evident sorcery!"
قَالَ مُوسَى
أَتقُولُونَ
لِلْحَقِّ
لَمَّا جَاءكُمْ
أَسِحْرٌ هَـذَا...
10: 77. Said Moses:
"Say ye (this) about the Truth when it hath (actually) reached you?
Is sorcery (like) this?
...وَلاَ يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُونَ ﴿٧٧﴾
But sorcerers will not prosper."
C1462. Sorcery is the very opposite of Truth, being deception of plausible shows by the powers of evil. But these cannot succeed or last permanently, and Truth must ultimately prevail.
قَالُواْ أَجِئْتَنَا
لِتَلْفِتَنَا
عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا
عَلَيْهِ
آبَاءنَا...
10: 78. They said:
"Hast thou come to us to turn us a way from the ways We found our fathers following --
...وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا الْكِبْرِيَاء فِي الأَرْضِ ...
in order that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land?
C1463. Notice how they attribute evil motives to the men of Allah, motives of ambition and lust of power, which the men of Allah had been sent expressly to put down.
The same device was used against Al-Mustafa.
... وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٧٨﴾
But not we shall believe in you!"
وَقَالَ
فِرْعَوْنُ
ائْتُونِي
بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ
عَلِيمٍ ﴿٧٩﴾
10: 79. Said Pharaoh: "Bring me every sorcerer well-versed."
فَلَمَّا
جَاء السَّحَرَةُ
قَالَ لَهُم
مُّوسَى أَلْقُواْ
مَا أَنتُم
مُّلْقُونَ ﴿٨٠﴾
10: 80. When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them:
"Throw ye what ye (wish) to throw!"
فَلَمَّا
أَلْقَواْ قَالَ
مُوسَى ...
10: 81. When they had their throw, Moses said:
C1464. When they threw their rods, the rods became snakes by a trick of sorcery, but Moses' miracles were greater than any tricks of sorcery, and had real Truth behind them.
... مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ...
"What ye have brought is sorcery:
...إِنَّ اللّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ...
Allah will surely make it of no effect:
...إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٨١﴾
for Allah prospereth not the work of those who make mischief.
وَيُحِقُّ
اللّهُ الْحَقَّ
بِكَلِمَاتِهِ
وَلَوْ كَرِهَ
الْمُجْرِمُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾
10: 82. "And Allah by His Words doth prove and establish His truth, however much the Sinners may hate it!"
C1465. Allah's Words or Commands have real power, while Sorcerers' tricks only seem wonderful by deceiving the eye.
فَمَا آمَنَ لِمُوسَى
إِلاَّ ذُرِّيَّةٌ
مِّن قَوْمِهِ
عَلَى خَوْفٍ...
10: 83. But none believed in Moses except some children of his People, because of the fear
C1466. The pronoun "his" in "his People" is taken by some Commentators to refer to Pharaoh.
The Majority Of Pharaoh's people refused to believe at the time, but the sorcerers believed (7:120), and so did Pharaoh's wife (66:11), and ultimately Pharaoh himself, though too late (10:90).
If we took "his" to refer to Moses, it would mean that the Israelites were hard-hearted and grumbled (7:129) even when they were being delivered from Egypt, and only a few of them had any real faith in Allah's providence and the working of His Law, and they feared Pharaoh even more than they feared Allah.
...مِّن فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِمْ أَن يَفْتِنَهُمْ...
of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them;
...وَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٨٣﴾
and certainly Pharaoh was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds.
وَقَالَ
مُوسَى يَا
قَوْمِ إِن
كُنتُمْ آمَنتُم
بِاللّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ
تَوَكَّلُواْ
إِن كُنتُم
مُّسْلِمِينَ ﴿٨٤﴾
10: 84. Moses said:
"O my People! if ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)."
فَقَالُواْ
عَلَى اللّهِ
تَوَكَّلْنَا...
10: 85. They said:
"In Allah do we put our trust.
...رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿٨٥﴾
Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practice oppression;
C1467. A trial for those who practice oppression: the various meanings of Fitnah have been explained in n. 1198 to 8:25.
The prayer is that the righteous people, being weak, should be saved from being used as objects of oppression or punishment at the hands of powerful enemies. Weakness tempts Power to practice oppression, and is thus an occasion of trial for the oppressors.
وَنَجِّنَا
بِرَحْمَتِكَ
مِنَ الْقَوْمِ
الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٨٦﴾
10: 86. "And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)."
...وَأَوْحَيْنَا
إِلَى مُوسَى
وَأَخِيهِ أَن
تَبَوَّءَا
لِقَوْمِكُمَا
بِمِصْرَ
بُيُوتًا...
10: 87. We inspired Moses and his brother with this message:
"Provide dwellings for your People in Egypt,
C1468. This instruction, we may suppose, was given when the sorcerers were brought to faith, and some of the Egyptians believed. Moses was for a little while to remain in Egypt, so that his Message should have time to work, before the Israelites were led out of Egypt.
They were to make their houses into places of prayer (Qiblah), as Pharaoh would not probably allow them to set up public places of prayer. and they were now to be only sojourners in Egypt.
These were the glad tidings (the Gospel) of Islam, which was preached under Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and completed under Muhammad.
...وَاجْعَلُواْ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ...
make your dwellings into places of worship,
and establish regular prayers:
...وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾
and give Glad Tidings to those who believe!"
10: 88. Moses prayed:
رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلأهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالاً فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا...
"Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his Chiefs splendor and wealth in the life of the Present,
C1469. Moses' prayer, in which Aaron joined, for he was always with him, may be paraphrased thus:
"O Allah!
we understand that the glitter and the wealth of the Egyptians are not to be envied. They are but the ephemeral goods of this life. They are a disadvantage, in that in their pride of possessions the Egyptians mislead themselves and others. Let their pride be their undoing! Turn their wealth into bitterness and their hearts into hardness, for they reject Thee, and they will not believe until they actually see the Punishment of their sins!"
...رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِكَ...
and so, our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path.
...رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُواْ...
Deface, our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe
C1470. A terrible curse! Let their wealth and splendour become so defaced in their features, that instead of being objects of desire, they become objects of loathing!
The heart is the seat of affections and joy: let it be so hardened by their unbelief that it becomes the seat of hatred and grief! It is when they see the Penalty that they will believe!
...حَتَّى يَرَوُاْ الْعَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ ﴿٨٨﴾
until they see the grievous Penalty."
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت
دَّعْوَتُكُمَا...
10: 89. Allah said:
"Accepted is your prayer (O Moses and Aaron)!
...فَاسْتَقِيمَا وَلاَ تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٨٩﴾
So stand ye straight, and follow not the path of those who know not."
C1471. Be not dazzled by their splendour, but stand out straight for Truth, for that is your salvation!
Addressed in form to Moses and Aaron, in substance it is addressed to the Israelites,
وَجَاوَزْنَا
بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
الْبَحْرَ...
10: 90. We took the Children of Israel across the sea:
...فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا... ...
Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite.
C1472. Notice the swiftness of the action in the narrative. The execution of poetic justice could not have been described in fewer words.
...حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ...
At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said:
...آمَنتُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلِـهَ إِلاَّ الَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ...
"I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in:
C1473. That is, in the One True God.
This was death-bed repentance, and even so it was forced by the terror of the catastrophe. So it was not accepted (cf. 4:18) in its entirety.
Only the body was saved from the sea, and presumably, according to Egyptian custom, it was embalmed and the mummy was given due rites of the dead. But the story commemorated for ever Allah's working, in mercy for His people, and in just punishment of oppressors.
...وَأَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾
I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)."
آلآنَ
وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ
قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ
مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٩١﴾
10: 91. (It was said to him): "Ah now! -- but a little while before, wast thou in rebellion! -- and thou didst mischief (and violence)!
فَالْيَوْمَ
نُنَجِّيكَ
بِبَدَنِكَ
لِتَكُونَ
لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ
آيَةً...
10: 92. "This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a Sign to those who come after thee!
...وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ آيَاتِنَا لَغَافِلُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾
But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"
C.103 (The running Commentary,
وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا
بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
مُبَوَّأَ
صِدْقٍ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم
مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ...
10: 93. We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best:
C1474. After many wanderings the Israelites were settled in the land of Canaan, described as "a land flowing with milk and honey" (Exod. 3:8).
They had a prosperous land; and they were supplied with spiritual sustenance by men sent to deliver Allah's Message.
They should have known better than to fall into disputes and schisms, but they did so. This was all the more inexcusable considering what bounties they had received from Allah. The schisms arose from selfish arrogance, and Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment.
...فَمَا اخْتَلَفُواْ حَتَّى جَاءهُمُ الْعِلْمُ...
it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms.
...إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾
Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment.
فَإِن
كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ
مِّمَّا أَنزَلْنَا
إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ
الَّذِينَ
يَقْرَؤُونَ
الْكِتَابَ
مِن قَبْلِكَ...
10: 94. If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee:
C1475. Allah's Truth is all one, and even in different forms men sincere in Religion recognise the oneness.
So sincere Jews like 'Abdullah ibn Salam, and sincere Christians like Waraqa or the Nestorian monk Bahira, were ready to recognise the mission of Muhammad Al-Mustafa.
"The Book" in this connection is Revelation generally, including pre-Islamic revelations.
...لَقَدْ جَاءكَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ ﴿٩٤﴾
the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord:
so be in nowise of those in doubt.
