Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.” (10:74) 49 00:03:52,569 --> 00:03:56,689 Then they brought them clear proofs. 50 00:04:01,969 --> 00:04:07,490 “Then, after him, We sent messengers unto their folk, and they brought them clear proofs. But they were not ready to believe in that which they before denied. Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.” (10:74) 51 00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:13,969 “Then, after him, We sent messengers unto their folk, and they brought them clear proofs. But they were not ready to believe in that which they before denied. Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.” (10:74) 52 00:04:16,610 --> 00:04:19,209 After Noah, messengers to their people. 53 00:04:19,850 --> 00:04:24,290 They brought them clear arguments and evidence of their truthfulness. 54 00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:28,889 But they were not going to believe in what their messengers brought them. 55 00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:33,889 Just as the people of Noah and the nations before them had denied. 56 00:04:34,649 --> 00:04:38,529 Just as We set a seal upon the hearts of those people, sealing them off. 57 00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:42,610 Likewise, We set a seal upon the hearts of those who transgress against their Lord. 58 00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:46,009 By overstepping what He commanded them regarding His Oneness. 59 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:49,649 As a punishment for their disobedience to their Lord. 60 00:04:51,259 --> 00:04:58,300 Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron. 61 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:04,860 “Then, after them, We sent Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our revelations, but they were arrogant and were a guilty folk.” (10:75) 62 00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:09,980 But they grew arrogant and were a criminal people. 63 00:05:11,649 --> 00:05:14,490 Then We sent after those messengers— 64 00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:16,250 Moses and Aaron. 65 00:05:16,769 --> 00:05:20,490 To the Pharaoh of Egypt and the elite and leaders of his people. 66 00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:25,769 With Our evidence for the truth of what they called them to: submission to Allah. 67 00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:30,850 But they grew arrogant and refused to acknowledge what Moses and Aaron called them to. 68 00:05:31,329 --> 00:05:34,810 And they were a sinful people due to their disbelief in Allah. 69 00:05:36,389 --> 00:05:41,949 So when the truth came to them from Us. 70 00:05:41,949 --> 00:05:46,949 “And when the Truth from Our presence came unto them, they said: Lo! this is mere magic.” (10:76) 71 00:05:47,470 --> 00:05:53,949 “Moses said: Speak ye (so) of the Truth when it hath come unto you? Is this magic? Now magicians thrive not.” (10:77) 72 00:05:54,430 --> 00:06:00,430 “Moses said: Speak ye (so) of the Truth when it hath come unto you? Is this magic? Now magicians thrive not.” (10:77) 73 00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:06,050 When the explanation of what Moses and Aaron called them to came to them. 74 00:06:06,569 --> 00:06:09,449 And the proofs that they brought them. 75 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:16,170 They said: "This is clearly magic, evident to anyone who sees and witnesses it." 76 00:06:17,009 --> 00:06:23,290 Moses said to them: "Do you say of the truth when it has come to you from Allah that it is magic?" 77 00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:29,089 This is from the speech of Moses: "Is this truth that you see magic?" 78 00:06:29,810 --> 00:06:32,769 "And the magicians will not succeed, nor will they endure." 79 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:47,740 They said: "Have you come to us to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon?" 80 00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:57,899 "And that you two may have greatness in the land?" 81 00:06:57,899 --> 00:07:01,579 “They said: Hast thou come unto us to pervert us from that (faith) in which we found our fathers, and that you two may own the place of greatness in the land? We will not believe you two.” (10:78) 82 00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:05,569 Pharaoh and his elite said to Moses: 83 00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:13,529 "Have you come to us to divert us and turn us away from the religion we found our fathers upon before your arrival?" 84 00:07:14,089 --> 00:07:17,970 "And that you two may have greatness, kingdom, and authority in the land?" 85 00:07:18,490 --> 00:07:25,610 "And we are not going to believe you two, O Moses and Aaron, that you are messengers sent to us." 86 00:07:27,220 --> 00:07:32,980 And Pharaoh said: "Bring me every learned magician." 87 00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:48,360 “And when the wizards came, Moses said unto them: Cast your cast!” (10:80) 88 00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:56,509 And Pharaoh said to his people: "Bring me every magician who is skilled in magic." 89 00:07:57,269 --> 00:07:59,470 So when the magicians came to Pharaoh. 90 00:07:59,949 --> 00:08:05,550 Moses said: "Cast what you are going to cast of your ropes and staffs." 91 00:08:07,209 --> 00:08:14,129 “And when they had cast, Moses said: That which ye have brought is magic. Lo! Allah will make it vain. Lo! Allah upholdeth not the work of mischief-makers.” (10:81) 92 00:08:14,689 --> 00:08:24,009 “And when they had cast, Moses said: That which ye have brought is magic. Lo! Allah will make it vain. Lo! Allah upholdeth not the work of mischief-makers.” (10:81) 93 00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:27,860 So when they cast what they were going to cast. 94 00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:34,379 Moses said to them: "What you have brought is magic; Allah will surely render it void." 95 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:40,019 And He, may His mention be exalted, rendered it void by empowering the staff of Moses over it. 96 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:45,700 He transformed it into a serpent that swallowed it up until nothing of it remained. 97 00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:52,980 Indeed, the work of those who strive in the land of Allah with what He dislikes and commit sins therein will not prosper. 98 00:08:54,649 --> 00:09:01,610 And Allah establishes the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it. 99 00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:06,659 And Allah confirms the truth that I have brought you from Him. 100 00:09:07,179 --> 00:09:09,139 And He makes it prevail over your falsehood. 101 00:09:09,659 --> 00:09:14,500 Even if those who earned sin against their Lord by disobeying Him dislike it. 102 00:09:16,009 --> 00:09:25,250 “But none trusted Moses, save some scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, that he would persecute them. Lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land, and lo! he verily was of the wanton.” (10:83) 103 00:09:25,769 --> 00:09:32,129 “But none trusted Moses, save some scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, that he would persecute them. Lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land, and lo! he verily was of the wanton.” (10:83) 104 00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:41,129 “But none trusted Moses, save some scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, that he would persecute them. Lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land, and lo! he verily was of the wanton.” (10:83) 105 00:09:42,429 --> 00:09:49,509 But no one believed in Moses except a few descendants from his people, the Children of Israel, after the death of their fathers. 106 00:09:50,029 --> 00:09:56,590 And they were afraid of Pharaoh and his elite, that they would persecute them with torment and turn them away from their religion. 107 00:09:57,190 --> 00:10:01,350 And Pharaoh was indeed a tyrant, arrogant toward Allah in His land. 108 00:10:01,909 --> 00:10:05,389 And he was indeed among those who transgress from the truth to falsehood. 109 00:10:05,789 --> 00:10:08,629 And that was his denial of the Oneness of Allah. 110 00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:27,509 “And Moses said: O my people! If ye have believed in Allah then put trust in Him, if ye have indeed surrendered (unto Him)!” (10:84) 111 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:37,470 “They said: In Allah we put trust. Our Lord! Oh, make us not a lure for the wrongdoing folk;” (10:85) 112 00:10:37,909 --> 00:10:44,070 "And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people." 113 00:10:45,309 --> 00:10:53,990 And Moses said: "O my people, if you have affirmed the Oneness of Allah, then in Him place your trust, and to His command submit." 114 00:10:54,509 --> 00:10:59,669 For He will never forsake His ally if you are submissive to Allah in obedience. 115 00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:06,059 They said: "In Allah we have placed our trust, and to Him we have entrusted our affair." 116 00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:10,980 "Our Lord, do not make these disbelieving people a trial for us." 117 00:11:11,539 --> 00:11:16,899 So they beseeched Allah to protect them from being a source of tribulation for the people of Pharaoh. 118 00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:20,419 And a trial and a barrier from following Moses. 119 00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:23,659 And from affirming him and what he brought them. 120 00:11:24,419 --> 00:11:26,779 "And save us, our Lord, by Your mercy." 121 00:11:27,299 --> 00:11:31,179 "And deliver us from the hands of the disbelieving people, the people of Pharaoh." 122 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:33,980 Because they were enslaving them. 123 00:11:34,419 --> 00:11:38,460 And using them for the vile tasks of their service. 124 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:48,019 “And We inspired Moses and his brother, (saying): Appoint houses for your people in Egypt and make your houses oratories, and establish worship. And give good news to the believers.” (10:87) 125 00:11:48,019 --> 00:11:50,860 "And make your houses a place of worship." 126 00:11:51,299 --> 00:11:57,179 “And We inspired Moses and his brother, (saying): Appoint houses for your people in Egypt and make your houses oratories, and establish worship. And give good news to the believers.” (10:87) 127 00:11:57,620 --> 00:12:01,059 "And give glad tidings to the believers." 128 00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:08,100 And We inspired Moses and his brother to take houses for their people in Egypt. 129 00:12:08,659 --> 00:12:12,179 "And make your houses places of prayer where you worship." 130 00:12:12,659 --> 00:12:16,740 "And perform the prescribed prayer with its requirements at its appointed times." 131 00:12:17,299 --> 00:12:21,500 And give glad tidings to those who establish prayer and obey Allah, O Muhammad. 132 00:12:21,899 --> 00:12:25,100 To the believers, of the abundant reward from Him. 133 00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:35,690 “And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Thy way. Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom.” (10:88) 134 00:12:36,129 --> 00:12:45,490 “And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Thy way. Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom.” (10:88) 135 00:12:45,970 --> 00:12:51,730 "Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts." 136 00:12:52,169 --> 00:13:00,129 “And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Thy way. Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom.” (10:88) 137 00:13:01,539 --> 00:13:02,700 And Moses said: 138 00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:08,539 "Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and the leaders of his people and their elite," 139 00:13:08,899 --> 00:13:11,299 "Of the comforts and luxuries of this world," 140 00:13:11,779 --> 00:13:16,179 "And wealth of gold and silver in the life of this world," 141 00:13:16,779 --> 00:13:22,220 "That they may lead others astray from Your path as a punishment from You." 142 00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:28,220 “And Moses said: Our Lord!
