Transliteration:( Qaaloo innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqaliboon )
They said: "We are surely to return to our Lord" (259).
This powerful response from the magicians shows that true belief removes all fear except the fear of Allah. Despite Pharaoh’s threats of mutilation and death, they calmly declared their readiness to return to their Lord. This also teaches that the company of a Prophet can instantly elevate a person spiritually. The very day these magicians accepted faith in Musa (peace be upon him), they gained such deep conviction and strength that even crucifixion could not shake them. Their hearts were filled with certainty and surrender, the hallmark of true sainthood.
