Musa
- I am the Messenger of Allah, coming to guide you to worship no one but Allah
- We want you to send Bani Isra'il with us and we want you to releasae them and stop opression
- Firawn laughed at them, him and his people
- Aren't you the one? Is it not that we looked after you when you were a little child?
- We brought you up in our own house, today you want to be against us
- And you stayed for a part of your life with us
- And you did that little deed of your which made you run away, and indeed, you are from those who are very very ungrateful
- He[Musa] says- You want to come and speak about these favors of yours upon me...
- To try and get away from the fact that you have enslaved the whole of Bani Isra'il
- You're telling me about Rabbul Alameen, what is Rabbul Alameen?
- That is a big insult, you're trying to call hi an animal! ASTAGHIRULLAH
- You say- 'Who is He?'
Not- 'What is He?' - Whoever created the skies and the Earth and whatever lies between it
- If indeed, you are convinced. That is who Rabbul Alameen is
- He [Firawn] looks at the people around him and says- Are you listening to what this man is saying?
- Are you listening? Can you hear?
- Do you know of a God besides me?
- He is saying, there is someone who created the skies and the Earth and everyone
- And that is the God who deserves to be worshipped alone. Nobody else
- I am the God!
- He [Musa] says- He is also your God, your maker
- The One who made you and your forefathers before you, all of them
- He is the Maker, we worship Him alone
- So he [Firawn] says...
- Indeed, this Messenger who is sent to you is mad. He is mad, look at him
- [Musa] said- Well, Allah SWT is the one that created the east and the west, you don't have that capability
- And people around are just watching
- They are shocked, how could someone speak to the Pharaoh like this?
- And everybody was gathering
- And all the servants and the slaves and the worshippers of Firawn
- Are watching someone for the first time in the life of Firawn defying him
- If you yourself are not going to worship me as a God, I will jail you
- What if I have brought you something very clear, a sign?
- He [Firawn] says- Ok, let's see the sign you have
- When Firawn asked for the sign, let's see it,
- Musa AS threw his stick and that stick will turn to a massive snake...
- That they mention that the tongue of that snake, one part was touching the roof and the other was touching the ground
- Everyone around sees that scene, gets scared and pulls away
- And then Musa grabs it again and it comes back again as a stick
- And he showed him the hand, the hand was white shining
- The people around and Firawn together, they said...
- This is indeed, a very knowledgable magician. He knows his magic tricks in and out
- Hold himself and his brother and go and send people out,
- A large number of people out to call in all the magicians
- And we want them to come, let him [Musa] do this magic, and they will do the magic, and we see who wins
- And Musa said- Ok, put that challenge forward, we accept that challenge, let's assign a day
- There was an agreement between Musa and Firawn to say; We have an appointed day
- The day when they would all come in their beauty and their gold and their jewelry
- On that day in the morning, we will meet Insha'Allah at a specific place
- You bring your magicians and we are there
- And now Firawn is looking for every magician
- And then the day came
- Where people attended the place and it was an open challenge
- The people; The Egyptians and Bani Isra'il all gathered. In a place in which Musa AS and Firawn had agreed on
- And Musa AS alone with his brother Haroon will come forward
- And Firawn will come with his army and his magicians to stand before Musa AS
- And then the challenge will begin and everyone is watching, and everyone is listening...
- And everyone is there to experience the great experience of their life
- It's reported that there were 15,000 magicians
- And one narration says, seventy magicians
- So let's take the smaller of the lot, seventy magicians
- They looked at Firawn and said- Well, we want to ask you something before we start here
- If we win, what's going to happen? Are we going to get some money?
- Yes indeed, I'm going to not only give you money, but I will make you my chiefs from amongst my close people
- And then they ask Musa- O Musa, you want us to throw our sticks and ropes or do you want to throw before?
- Throw whatever you would like to throw, let's see it
- They threw all their sticks, and they threw their ropes and sticks
- Whatever they bought with, they just threw it
- And then they said
- With this authority of Firawn, we will be amongst the winners
- When they threw their ropes and their sticks, they had fiddled with the eyes of the people
- And their sticks and ropes will turn to snakes just floating around everywhere
- Everyone got scared including Musa AS, he got scared when he saw that scene
- NEXT
BACK TO ALLAH
