In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surah Al-A'raf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff.”
Then she catches what they think
And We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff.”
So he threw it, and it was feeding and swallowing the false and false magic they used
Then the truth came and what they were doing was nullified
Then the truth appeared
It became clear to those who witnessed and attended him regarding the matter of Moses
And God is a messenger calling for the truth
The magic, lies, and illusions they used to do were invalidated
So they defeated him and defeated him, humiliated
The magicians were thrown prostrate
Then Moses defeated Pharaoh and his crowds
They left their homeland as a child, oppressed
The magicians were cast out when they witnessed the great power of God
Falling on their faces, prostrating to their Lord
They said, “We believe in the Lord of the Worlds.”
Lord of Moses and Aaron
They said: We believe in what Moses brought us
The one whom we must worship is the one who rules over the jinn, mankind, and all things
And he manages it all
Lord of Moses and Aaron
No Pharaoh
Pharaoh said, “You believed in him before I gave you permission.”
This is an honorable person whom you despised in the city
You plotted against him in the city to expel its people from it
You will know
Pharaoh said to the magicians
You believed in Moses and acknowledged his prophecy
Before I give you permission to believe in him
Your belief and acknowledgment of his prophecy
It is a trick you used to deceive those in our city to get them out of it
You will know what I will do to you
And what punishment you will receive from me for this action of yours
I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides
Then I will crucify you all
If they cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides
This is when one of them cuts off his right hand and his left foot
Or cut off his left hand and his right foot
There is a disagreement between the two members regarding cutting
Then I will crucify you all
They said, “We are turning to our Lord.”
You will not take revenge on us unless we believe
Unless we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us
He poured out patience on us and we died as Muslims
The witches said
We turn to our Lord by returning to Him
And what do you disapprove of us, O Pharaoh, and what do you find against us?
Unless we believed in the arguments of our Lord, His signs, and His evidence when they came to us
His arguments that neither you nor anyone but God can match
Our Lord sent down upon us a prison that prevents us from disbelieving in you
When Pharaoh tortured us
And we brought you Islam
The leaders of Pharaoh's people said
Will you leave Moses and his people to spread corruption in the land and leave you and your gods?
He said: We will kill their sons and spare their women, and we will be subjugated over them
A group of men from Pharaoh's people said
Will you leave Moses and his people among the children of Israel?
So that they may corrupt your servants and servants against you in your land of Egypt
And Moses allows you to serve you and worship your gods
Pharaoh said
We will kill their male children, children of the children of Israel
We keep their females
We are oppressive to them by oppressing the king and the sultan
Moses said to his people: Seek help from God and be patient
The earth belongs to God and He gives it as inheritance to whomever He wishes of His servants
And the outcome is for the righteous
Moses said to his people, the Children of Israel
Seek help from God against Pharaoh and his people in your affairs
And be patient with the hardship that befell you upon yourselves and your children from Pharaoh
The earth belongs to God
Perhaps God will give you the land of Pharaoh
If you are patient with the calamity that has befallen you and seek reward for it
And you agreed to pay
God bequeaths His land to whomever He wishes of His servants
The praiseworthy outcome is for those who fear God and observe Him
So he feared him and performed his duties
They said: We were harmed before you came to us and after you came to us
He said: Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy
And He will appoint you as your successor on earth
And see how you work
Moses' people said
We were harmed by killing our children before God's message came to us
And after you brought us the message of God
Moses said to his people
Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy
And He will make you succeed them in their land after their destruction
Then your Lord will see what you do after them
Because of your haste in obeying Him and your laziness in obeying Him
We took the family of Pharaoh for years
And a decrease in the fruits, so that they may remember
We tested the people of Pharaoh and his followers for their misguidance
Baldoub year after year
We tested them and their fruits disappeared except a few
A sermon and a reminder to them
To turn away from their error
And they turn to their Lord in repentance
If good comes to them
They told us this
And if an evil befalls them, they blame Moses and those with him
Indeed, their bird is with God
But most of them don't know
If Pharaoh's family comes to health and fertility
Prosperity and abundance of fruits
They said we are more worthy of it
Even if hardship, drought, and affliction afflict them
They pessimize and say
Our fortunes have disappeared since our arrival, Moses, peace be upon him
Except for the birds of Pharaoh’s family and others
This is their share of prosperity and fertility
And other attributes of good and evil
Except with God
But most of them do not know that this is so
Because of their ignorance of this, they were accusing Moses and those with him
And they said, “No matter what sign you bring us, you will bewitch us with it.”
We are not believers for you
And Pharaoh's family said to Moses
O Moses, whatever sign or indication you bring us
To distract us from the religion of Pharaoh we are in
We do not believe you in that
However, you are right in what you are calling us to
So We sent upon them the flood, locusts, and lice
And the frogs are a stick of blood, signs
Verses separated
So they were arrogant and were a criminal people
So We sent a command against them
A flood swept over them
It may be heavy rain
It may be a horrific death
And We sent locusts upon them upon the pastures
And We sent lice upon them
It was said that it is the weevils that emerge from wheat
It was said that he is a bear
They are young locusts that have no wings
It was said that it was fleas
It was said that they were small black animals
And We sent upon them frogs to fall into their homes and their drinks
And We sent blood upon them
What they drew from rivers and wells or in their vessels they found was blood
These verses are signs of the validity of the prophecy of Moses, peace be upon him
He separated them
So he made some of them follow each other
So those to whom God sent these verses were arrogant about believing in God
And the belief of His Messenger Moses, may God bless him and grant him peace
They were a people who practiced sins and immorality that God hated
They rebelled and rebelled
And when the affliction befell them
They said, “O Moses, pray for us to your Lord for what He has covenanted with you.”
If you remove the defect from us, we will believe in you
And we will send the children of Israel with you
And when God’s punishment befell them
They said, “O Moses, invoke your Lord for us according to what He has commanded and commanded you.”
If you remove from us the torment we are in
Let us believe what you have come with
And let us leave the children of Israel with you
We do not prevent them from going wherever they want
When We removed from them the punishment for a term they had fulfilled, behold, they renounced it
So Moses called upon his Lord and He answered him
When God lifted the torment from them for a term, they had reached its limit
To fulfill the torment of their days that God has appointed for them as a term of life until the time of their destruction
So they break their covenants that they made with their Lord and Moses
And they persist in their disbelief and misguidance
So We searched for them and drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs
When they broke their covenants, we took revenge on them by taking our vengeance on them
So we drowned them in the sea
We did this to them by discrediting our arguments
They were unaware of the vengeance that We visited upon them before it came upon them
And We gave inheritance to the people who were weak and negligent in the east of the earth
And the good word of your Lord spread upon the children of Israel because they were patient
And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people were doing and what they used to throne
And We gave inheritance to the people whom Pharaoh and his people treated as weak among the Children of Israel
The easts of the earth, which is the Levant, and its wests, in which We have made goodness a permanent constant for its people
God's promise to the children of Israel to empower them in the land was fulfilled
And he gave them victory over their enemy
And We destroyed the buildings and farms that Pharaoh and his people used to make
And what buildings and palaces they built
We took them out of all of that and destroyed all of that
They said, “O Moses, He made for us a god just as they have gods.” He said, “You are ignorant people.”
And We divided the children of Israel by the sea after the lessons they had seen
These verses did not rebuke them
So they passed by a people who were adopting an example to them that they worshiped instead of God
They said, “O Moses, make for us an idol that we may take as a god, just as these people have idols that they worship.”
Moses, may God’s prayers be upon him, said, “O people, you are a people who are ignorant of the greatness of God and the obligation of His rights upon you.”
Moses told them that they are devoted to these idols
God will destroy the work they are engaged in and its corruption
What they were doing in worshiping her was invalid
Because it will not benefit them when God's command comes
And there is no defender for them, may God protect them if He descends upon them
He said: Is there a god other than God that I seek of you? And He is your superiority over the worlds
Moses said to his people, “I adore God and make you a god and make for you an idol to worship.”
By God, He is your Creator and Your Excellency over the world of your time and age
And when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who were inflicting on you a terrible torment
They kill your sons and spare your women
And in that is a great trial from your Lord
And remember when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh
As they bear upon you the most hideous and evil torment
They kill your male children and spare your females
And in your severe torment, there is a test from God for you and a great blessing
