The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: << فأخذناه هو وجنوده فنبذناهم . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . >

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And it is derived from His saying:
So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers. فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم فانظر كيف كان عاقبة الظالمين
[Al-Qasas 28:40]
that sins are a cause for punishment, because … indicates causality.
And among them is the clarification of the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), where He seized these disbelievers with their strength and cast them away with a casting, as a person casts away … from … Yes, and this is not likening, but my intention is that He did not care about them, and they did not make Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) unable to act.
And among them is the wisdom of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), where the destruction of Pharaoh and his people was by the water in which he boasted, by his saying:
O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see? يَا قَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَذِهِ الأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِي أَفَلا تُبْصِرُونَ
[Surah al-Zukhruf: 51], so that which he boasted of became the place of his destruction.
And among them is that Pharaoh perished among those who perished, and that the saying of the Exalted:
So today We will save you in body فاليوم ننجيك ببدنك
[Yunus 10:92]
does not mean that he is alive and remaining, but rather that which was saved and appeared to the people was only his body, to be a sign for those who came after him, because the Children of Israel—as the scholars said—were terrified by Pharaoh, so if he had not come out until they saw him with his body, there would have been a kind of anxiety among them: Did he perish? Did he not perish? So when they saw him, they became certain and the anxiety was removed from them. So he is perished among those who perished, by His saying:
So We cast them away فنبذناهم
.
And among them, meaning among the benefits of the verse, is that it is required of a person, either as an obligation or a recommendation, to reflect on the end of the oppressors:
Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers. فانظر كيف كان عاقبة الظالمين
[Yunus 10:39]
So it follows from this verse that we should take a lesson from the end of these people, so that we do not oppress like them, because as long as the end of the oppressor is destruction, the person fears that he will perish if he oppresses.
And among them is that oppression is forbidden, because it is a cause for punishment, and whatever is a cause for punishment is forbidden, and whether the oppression is to oneself or to another, because it is forbidden in all its types. Allah the Exalted said in the Holy Hadith:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرماً فلا تظالموا
Sahih Muslim 2577a
