Pharaoh’s Arrogance (28:36 – 28:42)

Pharaoh’s Arrogance

28:36 When Moses went to them with our proofs, clear and profound, they said, “This is fabricated magic. We have never heard of this from our ancient ancestors.” 28:37 Moses said, “My Lord knows best who brought the guidance from Him, and who will be the ultimate victors. Surely, the transgressors never succeed.” 28:38 Pharaoh said, “O you elders, I have not known of any god for you other than me. Therefore, fire the adobe, O Hãmãn, in order to build a tower, that I may take a look at the god of Moses. I am sure that he is a liar.” 28:39 Thus, he and his troops continued to commit arrogance on earth, without any right, and thought that they would not be returned to us. 28:40 Consequently, we punished him and his troops, by throwing them into the sea. Note the consequences for the transgressors. We made them imams who led their people to Hell. Furthermore, on the Day of Resurrection, they will have no help. They incurred in this life condemnation, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be despised.
