Transliteration:( Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen )
"Therefore go to Pharaoh [21] (Fir'awn) and say, 'Both of us are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds [22].'"
After granting reassurance, Allah now directs Musa and Haroon (عليهما السلام) to confront Pharaoh, the tyrant who claimed divinity and enslaved Bani Isra’il. The use of “go to Pharaoh” shows the urgency and gravity of the mission.
The statement "Both of us are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds" affirms that Musa and Haroon were jointly appointed to deliver the message of Tawheed. Referring to Allah as "the Lord of the worlds" establishes from the outset that Pharaoh’s claim of lordship is false and baseless, and that true authority belongs to Allah alone.
