The story of Musa (peace be upon him) with Pharaoh in his denial of the divinity of Allah.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Do you not know that Pharaoh said to his people:

O my chiefs

يا أيها الملأ

What?

I know of no god for you but me

ما علمت لكم من إله غيري

Is he truthful in this statement or not? He is a liar; he himself knows that there is a God other than him. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:

And they denied them

وجحدوا بها

What?

while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness

وأستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلما وعلوا

[An-Naml 27:14]

And Musa (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed him, saying:

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

لقد علمت ما أنزل هؤلاء إلا رب السماوات والأرض بصائر وإني لأظنك يا فرعون مثبورا

[Al-Isra 17:102]

Did Pharaoh say, "I did not know"? Answer, everyone. He did not say, "I did not know." And was he unable to say, "I did not know"? No, he was not unable, because in the debate that took place between him and Musa in Surat al-Shu'ara, he was explicit. But in this second debate, he was unable when he said:

You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence

لقد علمت ما أنزل هؤلاء إلا رب السماوات والأرض بصائر

[Al-Isra 17:102]

He could not respond. Thus, it becomes clear that those who deny the divinity of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are in a great error.
