Yunes 79-83
79- AND PHARAOH SAID: “BRING ME EVERY KNOWLEDGEABLE MAGICIAN”.
80- WHEN THE MAGICIANS CAME MOSES SAID TO THEM: “THROW DOWN WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING TO THROW”.
81- WHEN THEY THROW MOSES SAID: “WHAT YOU BROUGHT FORTH IS MAGIC, ALLAH WILL RENDER IT USELESS, FOR ALLAH DOES NOT RENDER THE WORK OF THE WRONG-DOERS FRUITFUL”.
82- AND ALLAH WILL MAKE THE TRUTH UPRIGHT WITH HIS WORDS, EVEN IF THE EVIL-DOERS HATE IT.
83- ONLY A FEW OF THE PEOPLE OF MOSES BELIEVED HIM, DESPITE OF THEIR FEAR OF PHARAOH AND HIS INNER CIRCLE PERSECUTING THEM, FOR PHARAOH SEEKS SUPREMACY ON EARTH, AND HE IS OF THE EXCESSIVE TRANSGRESSORS.
Pharaoh though that the Miracles Moses showed him as signs of his prophecy were magic, therefore, he decided to fight them with magic. This stood to reason, as we fight force with force, and ideas with ideas, therefore magic was to be fought with magic, and there were many magicians in Egypt at the time, therefore he expected to win the battle of magic.
The magicians at the time used to carry sticks and robes, which when they threw them on the ground, looked like creatures like snakes. This was an illusion. Moses knew that their illusions were not miracles, which is what Allah the Highest performed for him, which was the changing of his stick into a real snake. Allah the Highest said: “THEY SAID: O MOSES, EITHER YOU THROW OR WE THROW FIRST? * HE SAID: BUT YOU THROW. THEN THEIR ROBES AND STICKS BECAUSE OF THEIR MAGIC LOOKED TO HIM AS IF THEY MOVE”. (S:20 A:65-66)
The magicians believed, not because they lost the contest, but because they knew that Moses, peace upon him, performed a real miracle, his stick actually changed into a big snake.
Allah the Highest does not let evil continue on forever, but sends the truth to guide people and to challenge evil.
We notice that the evil doers in life might have power, property and money, but these are often accompanied with personal and family problems, drugs, infidelity, unhappiness and discontentment.
We also notice that evil deeds lead to more evil deeds, while good deeds lead to more goods. Evil deeds give one evil companions, and good deeds give one righteous companions. We should not be allured by the superficial success of the evil doers. Allah the Highest said: “DO NOT BE ALLURED BY THE SUCCESS OF THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE IN THE LAND”. (S:3 A:196)
Evil will always be found out to be evil, even if people try to cover it up with a nice facade, it will eventually be found out to be what it is, evil.
Allah the Highest is telling us that a few of pharaoh’s people believed, and also a few of Moses people truly believed. Those who believed did so despite of the great fear of pharaoh and his company.
In every society where disbelief or wrong doing prevails, there will be minority of believers and righteous people. This minority are usually disliked and suspected. They are often accused of being evil themselves, and are often mocked and called names, and they are often persecuted. This happened throughout the ages with all the prophets and messengers, peace upon them, and their followers. It is still happening with the sincere believers and righteous people wherever disbelief and/or evil prevail.
