Transliteration:( Qaala laqad 'alimta maaa anzala haaa'ulaaa'i illaa Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi basaaa'ira wa innee la azun nuka yaa Fir'awnu masbooraa )
212. From this we learn that Pharoah knew in his heart that Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) was a Prophet, but verbally he rejected this, just as Shaitaan knew about the Prophethood of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace), and Abu Jahl knew about the prophethood of the Holy Prophet Pharoah had already seen Mosaic miracles when Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) was still a child.Â
213. Here the word 'opinion' is used to mean certainty. This tells us that the Prophets are fully aware of every person's end. Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) had already informed Pharoah of his ruin, and that he will not receive Divine guidance to accept faith. The same happened as predicted. It should be remembered that the death of a person on obedience and villainy is part of the FIVE BRANCHES OF KNOWLEDGE which is taught by Allah Almighty to His Prophets. Our Holy Prophet ﷺÂ had informed that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique is from the inmates of Paradise, Hazrat Imaam Hussain (May Allah be pleased with them) is from Paradise, so and so will be an inmate of Hell, etc.
