ভূমিকা

“And the chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said: ‘Will you leave Moses and his people to make mischief in the land, and to desert you and your gods?’ He said: ‘Soon we will kill their sons and spare their women, and surely we are in power over them’.”*** After seeing the belief of the sorcerers, in order to move Pharaoh, the chiefs of his people told him whether he left Moses and his followers alive to oppose him and make other people oppose and, consequently, to take the control of government from Pharaoh and to make mischief in the country.

They would also leave out both him and his gods. The verse says: “And the chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said: ‘Will you leave Moses and his people to make mischief in the land, and to desert you and your gods?’…” Pharaoh answered them that he would kill their sons who were the encouragement of those people and whom they were making ready for fighting, while he would leave their daughters alive because they could do nothing against him.

Pharaoh said that he could make of their females servants so that they became lowing and miserable. The holy verse continues saying: “…He said: ‘Soon we will kill their sons and spare their women…” It is understood from this sentence that Pharaoh did not expect to kill Moses (as) and his followers since he had recognized their power unfailing. Therefore, he decided to attack the defendless children and to destroy them.

Verily the earthbelongs to Allah; He grants its inheritance to whomever He pleases of His servants, and the end is (best) for the pious ones.”*** There are two commandments accompanied with two glad tidings referred to in this holy verse. The commandments are: ‘seeking help from Allah’ and ‘endurance’ ; and the glad tidings are ‘the inheritance of the earth’ and ‘the good end of the pious’.
