    73. The intelligence of the infidel is destroyed, for although they had accepted Pharoah, a human being like them to be god they refused to accept Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace) as a Prophet, despite seeing the miracles.

    From this, we learn that the claim of equality with the Prophet stops the person from accepting faith. First, the love and greatness of the Prophet is inculcated in the heart, then the fear of Allah Almighty is instilled in it.

    74. From this we learn that the disgrace of the believers is an added cause of the infidels going astray, as they take this as proof of Islam being false and they are on the path of truth. Therefore one should always offer this Dua: "Oh our Lord, make us not a test for unjust people" (S10:V85).

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Al-Muminun verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 45 which provides the complete commentary from verse 45 through 49.

    (23:47) They said: “Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves40a when their people are slaves to us?”[41]

    Ala-Maududi

    (23:47) They said: “Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves40a when their people are slaves to us?”[41]

    40. The words in the text may either mean: (1) They were highly arrogant and tyrannous people, or (2) They showed haughtiness and self conceit.

    40a For explanation, see (Surah Al-Muminun, ayat 24) note 26.

    41. Abid is worshiper. According to the Arabic usage, to be a worshiper and a bondsman are almost synonymous. Therefore when the Prophets invited their people to worship Allah alone, they wanted them to worship and serve and obey none but Allah, and that is the real significance of the word ibadat. For further explanation, see (Surah Al-Kahf, ayat 52) note 50.

    (47) They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"
