Transliteration:( Fa'asaa Fir'awnur Rasoola fa akhaznaahu akhzanw wabeelaa )
22. Disobedience of the Prophet is disobedience of Allah Almighty.
23. This tells us that mere disobedience Allah Almighty does not bring down Divine punishment until such time that there is opposition to the Prophet. As it is Pharaoh was an infidel before Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) came to preach to him, but punishment came to him after he had opposed Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace).
Says Allah Almighty: "And We are not to torment until We have sent a Messenger" (S17:V15). We further learn that e guidance is obtained through Divine help. The magicians of the Pharaoh accepted faith instantly, while he himself who had brought up Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) remained an infidel and Bibi Asiya and Mushata became believers.
