The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And among the wonders is their claim that Pharaoh, since he was granted the elevation, and that is in the Qur'an, and for that reason he sought to ascend to Him in the tower that he had planned"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"And among the wonders is their claim that Pharaoh, since he was granted the elevation, and that is in the Qur'an"
It is a claim with evidence, but it is false, and the argumentation based on it is invalid. They said: Pharaoh's school of thought is affirming the elevation of Allah, and that is in the Qur'an.
"And for that reason he sought to ascend to Him in the tower that he had planned from Haman"
Who sought to ascend to Him? Pharaoh sought to ascend to Allah, and this indicates their belief that he acknowledged that Allah is in the sky.
" We have seen this in their writings and heard it from their mouths, up to the call to prayer
So listen, then, to this one who is more fitting for Pharaoh, the one who denies the attributes and rejects the Most Merciful"

Are they the people of the Sunnah who affirm the elevation, or are they these people who deny the elevation of Allah? Which of them is more fitting for Pharaoh? Yes.
"And look at the one who said, 'Moses is a liar when he claimed the superiority of the Most Merciful'"
Who said it? Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Moses that he was a liar in claiming that Allah is in the sky, because Pharaoh denies the existence of Allah entirely and says to his people:
I know no god for you but myself ما علمتُ لكم من إله غيري
There is no one above me, nor in any other place. So, are the people of the Sunnah more fitting for Pharaoh, or are these people who deny the attributes? These people who deny the attributes. But they invert the facts. We ask Allah for safety. It is deception and promotion.
