Surah Ta-Ha Ayat 58 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

68. That is, to transform the sticks and ropes into snakes because the magicians would show such tricks.

69. Here, the word "even" means either an even or spacious ground where people are able  to sit conveniently as a large crowd. Or, it could mean a ground in between Pharaoh's palace and Hazrat Musa's (On whom be peace) place. It should be remembered that the Pharaoh had made the people understand that the long absence of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) from Egypt was to have gone to study magic. Although, in reality, he had gone to Madyan to Hazrat Shuaib (On whom be peace). Allah Almighty had kept our Holy Prophet ?  in Makkah so that the Makkans would not be able to say that he had gone somewhere to study magic.
