6. And We should establish them in the earth [12] and show to Firawn and Haman and their armies the same, which they fear, from them [13].
The tafsir of Surah Qasas verse 6 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qasas ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 6.
(28:6) and to grant them power in the land,[7] and make Pharaoh and Haman[8] and their hosts see what they had feared.
7. That is, “Bestow on them inheritance of the land so that they should be rulers over it.”
8. The Western orientalists have been very critical of this. They say that Haman was a courtier of the Persian King Xerxes, who reigned hundreds of years after the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), from 486 to 465 B.C., but the Quran has made him a minister of Pharaoh in Egypt. This is nothing but an instance of sheer prejudice. After all, what historical evidence do these orientalists have to prove that there never lived any other person called Haman before Xerxes’ courtier Haman? If an orientalist has been able to discover, through authentic means, a complete list of all the ministers and chiefs and courtiers of the Pharaoh under discussion which does not contain the name of Haman, he should make it public, or publish a photocopy of it, because there could be no better or more effective instrument than this of the refutation of the Quran.
[1094]- By means of those whom they had oppressed and enslaved.
