And among the benefits of the verse is the clarification of what Pharaoh was upon in terms of arrogance and tyranny [Al-Qasas 28:4].
And among its benefits is that whoever becomes arrogant on earth and seeks superiority over the creation is similar to Pharaoh, and how bad it is for a man to have Pharaoh as his leader.
And among its benefits is that the division of the community is a cause for its failure and humiliation. Where is this taken from?[Al-Qasas 28:4].
And among its benefits is also that the famous English maxim: "Divide and rule" is Pharaonic, isn't it? It is Pharaonic because he is the one who made the people of the land into factions so that he would dominate them. Good.
And among the benefits of the verse is that the Children of Israel were from the people of Egypt, even though they were originally from the people of Sham. Branching from this benefit is that whoever resides in a land and stays in it, even if he is not originally from its people, is attributed to it and becomes one of its people.
And among them is the clarification of the severity of Pharaoh's oppression of the Children of Israel, where he used to slaughter their boys and keep their women alive. Why? It was said: because he was informed that a child would be born from the Children of Israel through whom your destruction would come. And it was said: because that is the way to humiliate the community, for if the men are gone and the women remain, they become slaves to the enslaver. Without a doubt, they have no value or defense. Yes, good.
And among the benefits of the verse is that this action—arrogance on earth, transgression against the creation, and working to divide them—is from corruption. Why? From His saying:[Al-Qasas 28:4] Good. The opposite of that, then, is that the one who is humble toward the truth and the creation, and unites the community and restrains his aggression, is from the reformers. Because things are made clear by their opposites. So if these matters are from corruption, their opposites are from righteousness. Yes, good.
Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land
