[2] 1. [I
swear] by the sky [of Egypt having so many] towers a! [3] 2. And
[by] the day of appointment [in the story of Moses, Pharaoh and the
magicians!] b [4] 3. And
[by] the witness [: the people who attended that event c], and the witnessed [: the staff of Moses and the ropes
of the magicians! d] [5] 4. Woe
to [Pharaoh and his companions:] the makers of the ditch e! [6] 5. The
kindled Fire [will be for them f.] [7] 6. When they will remain there in [chastisement
till Doomsday. g] [8] 7. And
they h were witnesses [attending] that
which [some of] them were doing to the believers i. [9] 8. They mal-treated the [Children of Israel] only
because they believed in God [alone], the All-Mighty, the All-Laudable. j [10] 9. To
Whom belongs the possession of the heavens and the
earth k; God is Witness to all things. l [By now, the story of Pharaoh with the Children of Israel
came to an end; then God – be glorified – started to threaten the Jews who
barred people from believing in Mohammed the messenger of God, when they said
to them: he is a magician so do not believe him; therefore, God – be glorified
– said:] [11] 10.
Surely, those [Jews] who seduce the believers: men and women, then they
do not repent m; there will be for them the
chastisement of Hell [in the Next Life] and the chastisement of the Burning
[on Doomsday.] n [12] 11.
Surely, those who believe and do righteous [deeds]; there will be for
them [in the Next Life] Gardens under [the trees of] which rivers flow; such
is the great success. |
1 a
The swearing is by the sky of Egypt: Egypt which had [a large number of]
constructed high towers or mansions. The Arabic word in the aya, which means towers or mansions, is also
mentioned in His saying – be glorified – in the Quran 4: 78, which means: (Wherever you [people] are, death
will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and
high!) i.e. in constructed mansions. 2 b That is His saying – be glorified
– in the Quran 20: 59, which means: ([Moses] said: "Your
appointment is on the day of the feast of ornamentation, and let the people
be assembled at forenoon time.") 3 c On that day, and saw the miracles
done by Moses like the staff and the whitish hand, and the magic done by the
magicians like the ropes and rods. 3 d Witnessed and seen by the people
who attended that event. This is a swearing of threatening
and warning of chastisement for the associaters among the people of Mecca;
which means: if you do not believe in Me and believe My messenger, I will
terminate you with the chastisement as did I terminate Pharaoh and his host,
and I took such towers and mansions and gave them to other people else than
them. God in fact swore by the sky of
Egypt, because the chastisement came down on them from the sky, which was the
locust, the insect, the dust, the darkness, the plague and others which have
been mentioned in the interpretation of the Quran 7: 133. Afterwards, God – be glorified –
cursed them on account of their wrong-doing, and He said: 4 e When they intended to persecute
anyone, they dug for him a pit in the earth, cast him into it, tied him to
four pegs and left him there exposed to the sun without water or food till
death. 5 f i.e. there will be for them a
kindled fire in recompense for their wrong-doing. It is the fire of volcanoes in the
Barzakh world [or the Afterlife], and the fire of Saqar
on Doomsday. 6 g Then they will enter into Saqar which is more severe in chastisement than Hell. That is His saying – be glorified
– in the Quran 40: 46, which means: ([In] the fire [of volcanoes],
they being [always] exposed to it, morning and evening, and on the Day when
the Hour [of Doom] will take place: "Admit Pharaoh's people into the
most severe Doom [in Hell.]") 7 h i.e. Pharaoh's people. 7 i i.e. to Moses' people. The meaning: Some of Pharaoh’s
people killed the sons of the Israelites and enslaved their men and women,
while the rest of Pharaoh’s people saw that with their own eyes, but did not
deny such acts of their people and did not forbid them from their action, but
they agreed about that. 8 j It means: Pharaoh’s people
mal-treated the Children of Israel only because the Children of Israel
worshipped and believed in God alone, and did not worship the gods of the
Copts, and for this reason they resented and mal-treated them. 9 k i.e. the planets including the
earth. 9 l i.e. He is Existent: hearing and
seeing. 10 m From seducing people, and they do
not believe in Mohammed who invites them to the Islam. 10 n The meaning: As had Pharaoh and
his people denied the miracles of Moses and had said: “[This is nothing else
than] magic”, as such have Jews denied the revelations of the Quran and have
said: “[This is nothing else than] magic.” |

[Then God – be glorified – started to threaten the
associaters and wrong-doers, and He said:] [13] 12.
Surely, the assault of your Lord [on wrong-doers] is terrible. a [14] 13.
It is He b
Who originates [the creation from earth] and returns [bodies] back [to the
earth.] [15] 14.
And is the Most Forgiving [for those who repent], the Most Loving [of
those who regret and turn repentant to Him.] [16] 15.
Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious c. [17] 16.
The All-Doer of whatever He wants d. [18] 17.
Have [you, Mohammed], received the story of the hosts e? [Some of such enemies were:] [20] 19.
[Actually] those [associaters among the Arab] who disbelieve are with
[their] denial [like the denial of the disbelievers among the past nations.] [21] 20.
And God behind them is All-Encompassing them on every side. f [22] 21. Certainly it is a glorious Quran g, [23] 22.
In a Preserved Tablet [with Us, protected from any alteration and
changing.] |
12 a As did He assault on Pharaoh and
his host, so that He drowned them in the sea. 13 b i.e. God – be glorified. 15 c Who is glorified and sanctified
by Angels. 16 d So that nothing is difficult to
Him. 17 e It means: Have you understood the
story of the hosts – the enemies of God and of His messengers and how they
banded together to fight God’s messengers – when it had reached you in some
previous Quran revelations? 20 f It means: They are in His grasp
and under His control, so that they cannot escape from Him, like one besieged
from every side and cannot escape. 21 g Which angels glorify and
venerate. |
