00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.120 Moses said, “I have called you to him and to worship him.” 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.080 Your Lord who created you and the Lord of your first fathers 00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:11.259 He said: Your messenger who was sent to you is crazy 00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:21.179 The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them said, “If you understand.” 00:09:22.909 --> 00:09:24.029 Pharaoh said 00:09:24.830 --> 00:09:30.870 This messenger of yours who claims to have been sent to you is out of his mind 00:09:31.470 --> 00:09:35.149 Because he says something we do not know or understand 00:09:36.129 --> 00:09:41.000 Moses said, “Whom I invite you and Pharaoh to worship.” 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.000 The king of the rising of the sun and its setting and everything in between 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.840 If you have minds with which you can understand what is said to you 00:09:53.059 --> 00:10:00.580 He said: If you take a god other than me, I will make you one of the prisoners 00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:05.779 He said, "Have I brought you something clear?" 00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:12.580 He said, "Bring it if you are truthful." 00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.460 Pharaoh said 00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:22.179 If you acknowledge that there is an equal idol, I will imprison you with those of his family in prison 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:24.679 Moses said to Pharaoh 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:30.039 Have I not brought you anything that will show you the truth of what I say, O Pharaoh? 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.639 And the truth is what I am calling you to 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.820 Pharaoh said to him 00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:38.820 So bring the clear truth of what you say 00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:41.580 If you are right in what you say 00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:49.899 So he threw his stick and it was the snake of the two prophets 00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:57.940 He removed his hand and it was white to the onlookers 00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:03.299 So Moses threw his staff and it turned into a snake 00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:07.779 He explains to Pharaoh and the leaders of his people that he is a snake 00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:10.860 Moses took his hand out of his pocket 00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:16.019 If it is white, it shines for whoever looks at it and sees it 00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:24.620 He told the people around him that this is a knowledgeable magician 00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:33.539 He wants to expel you from your land with his magic, so what do you command? 00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:38.870 Pharaoh said to the nobles of his people who were around him 00:11:39.509 --> 00:11:43.710 Moses bewitched his staff until it turned into a snake 00:11:44.269 --> 00:11:46.629 He has knowledge and insight into magic 00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:53.269 He wants to expel the children of Israel from your land to the Levant by subjugating you with magic 00:11:54.110 --> 00:11:59.590 So what do you order regarding the matter of Moses and what opinion do you advise regarding it? 00:12:01.669 --> 00:12:08.669 They said, “Send him and his brother back and send them to Al-Mada’in.” 00:12:09.230 --> 00:12:13.269 They will come to you with every knowledgeable magician 00:12:14.789 --> 00:12:19.309 Then the people around him answered, “Delay Moses and his brother and see.” 00:12:19.909 --> 00:12:26.110 And He sent to your lands and the cities of Egypt to gather against you every magician who knows magic 00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:34.059 So the magicians gathered for the appointed time of a known day 00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:40.340 People were told: Are you gathered together? 00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:47.220 Perhaps we will follow the magicians if they are the ones who prevail 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:53.159 So the gatherers who were sent by Pharaoh gathered to gather the magicians 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:59.200 For a time, Pharaoh prepared for Moses a meeting with him on a known day 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.879 That is the day of adornment and that the people will be gathered to sacrifice 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:10.679 People were asked: Are you gathered to see what the two groups are doing? 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.080 Who will have the upper hand - Moses or the magicians? 00:13:15.870 --> 00:13:19.870 So that we may follow the magicians if they were the ones who defeated Moses 00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:30.019 When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Indeed, there is a reward for us.” 00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:39.500 They said to Pharaoh, “Indeed, we will have a reward if we are the victors.” 00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:45.980 He said: Yes, and indeed you are among those who are close 00:13:48.059 --> 00:13:54.460 When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Indeed, we will be rewarded for our magic before you.” 00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:57.179 If we are the victors, Moses 00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:02.340 Pharaoh said to them, “Yes, you will be rewarded for that.” 00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:06.179 Then you are among those close to us 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:14.200 Moses said to them: Throw what you throw 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:23.879 So they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, “By the might of Pharaoh, we will be the victors.” 00:14:25.769 --> 00:14:31.529 Moses said to them, “Throw down whatever ropes and sticks you throw.” 00:14:32.389 --> 00:14:35.429 They dropped their ropes and sticks from their hands 00:14:36.070 --> 00:14:41.029 They swore by the strength of Pharaoh, the strength of his authority, and the invincibility of his kingdom 00:14:41.549 --> 00:14:44.190 It is we who overcome Moses 00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:52.539 So Moses threw his staff, and it caught what they thought 00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:56.980 So the magicians fell prostrate 00:14:57.700 --> 00:15:02.980 They said, “We believe in the Lord of the Worlds.” 00:15:03.539 --> 00:15:06.580 Lord of Moses and Aaron 00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:13.379 So Moses threw his staff when the magicians threw their ropes and sticks 00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:20.740 If he disobeyed Moses, he would be disdained by the slander and magic that had no truth 00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:23.620 But it is a fantasy and a trick 00:15:24.529 --> 00:15:29.809 When the magicians realized that what Moses had brought to them was truth and not magic 00:15:30.529 --> 00:15:33.490 And it is something that no one but God can do 00:15:34.049 --> 00:15:37.409 Who created the heavens and the earth without any origin 00:15:37.970 --> 00:15:40.690 They bowed down on their faces, prostrating to God 00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:42.850 Submitting to Him in obedience 00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:48.769 Confirming to Moses that what he had given them from God was the truth 00:15:49.409 --> 00:15:50.210 Saying 00:15:50.850 --> 00:15:57.330 We believed in the Lord of the Worlds, whom Moses called us to worship instead of Pharaoh and his rulers 00:15:57.889 --> 00:15:59.649 Lord of Moses and Aaron 00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:06.769 He said, “You believed in him before I gave you permission.” 00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:15.009 Indeed, it is your elder who taught you magicians, so you will learn 00:16:15.809 --> 00:16:25.970 I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all 00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:31.419 Pharaoh said to those who were his magicians, “Believe.” 00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:38.220 You believed in Moses that what he brought was true before I gave you permission to believe in it 00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:43.740 Moses is your master of magic and he is the one who taught it to you 00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:49.220 When you are punished, you will know the evil of what you have done 00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:57.220 If they cut off your hands and feet, you disagree with the cutting off of your hands and feet 00:16:57.860 --> 00:17:00.259 And I will crucify you all 00:17:02.190 --> 00:17:10.450 They said, “No, we are poor. We are returning to our Lord.” 00:17:11.009 --> 00:17:21.250 We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins if we are the first to believe 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:31.440 The witches said: There is no harm to us, even if you do it to us and crucify us, to our Lord we will return 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.279 He rewards us with our patience with your punishment 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:39.839 And our steadfastness in His monotheism and disavowal of disbelief in Him 00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:47.309 We hope that our Lord will forgive us for our sins that we committed before we believed in Him 00:17:47.869 --> 00:17:49.549 He does not punish us with it 00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:55.950 Because we were the first to believe in Moses and believe in what he brought of the Oneness of God 00:17:56.430 --> 00:17:59.789 And Pharaoh denied his claim to divinity 00:17:59.789 --> 00:18:05.180 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
