Transliteration:( Thumma ba'asnaa min ba'dihim Moosaa Wa Haaroona ilaa Fir'awna wa mala'ihee bi aayaatinaa fastakbaroo wa kaanoo qawman mujrimeen )
208. From this we learn that Hazrat Moosa (on whom be peace) was a
Prophet for all Egyptians, whether they were Israelites or Qibtis. Thus this
verse does contradict that he was Prophet for the Israelites alone, the
name of the Pharoah during the time of Hazrat Moosa (on whom be peace)
was Musib bin Qaboos, bin Rayyaan.
During that period every Egyptian king was called a Pharoah, likewise
Egyptian kings during the time of Hazrat Yusuf (on whom be peace) were
called Aziz, and in the ottoman Caliphate were called Khadiv. It should be remembered that Hazrat Moosa (on whom be peace) was the king and
Hazrat Haroon (on whom be peace) was the Prime Minister.
209. This means he was small but became big. This is the meaning of "they
waxed proud" From beforehand Pharoah and his followers were habitual
offenders in matters of beliefs. Infidels were intensely cruel in deeds.
75. Then after them We sent Musa and Harun to Fir`awn and his chiefs with Our Ayat. But they behaved arrogantly and were a people who were criminals. 76. So when came to them the truth from Us, they said: “This is indeed clear magic.” 77. Musa said: “Say you (this) about the truth when it has come to you Is this magic But the magicians will never be successful.” 78. They said: “Have you come to us to turn us away from that we found our fathers following, and that you two may have greatness in the land We are not going to believe you two!”
Allah said:
(Then after them We sent ) meaning ofter these Messengers,
(Musa and Harun to Fir`awn and his chiefs,) meaning his people
(with Our Ayat.) meaning; `Our proofs and evidences.’
(But they behaved arrogantly, and were a people who were criminals.) meaning they were too arrogant to follow the truth and submit to it, and they were criminals.
(So, when came to them the truth from us, they said: “This is indeed clear magic.”) They were as if they gave an oath that what they had said was the truth. But they knew that what they were saying was a mere lie. As Allah said:
(And they belied them wrongfully and arrogantly, though they themselves were convinced thereof. )(27:14) Musa criticized them saying:
(“Say you (this) about the truth when it has come to you Is this magic But the magicians will never be successful.” They said: “Have you come to us to turn us away…)
(from that we found our fathers following) their religion.
(and that you two may have…)
(greatness) means grandeur and leadership
(…in the land, We are not going to believe you two!”)
(10:75) Then, after them,[72] We sent forth Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our signs, but they waxed proud.[73] They were a wickd people.
72. (Surah Al-Aaraf, ayat 103-156) note 84-111 about the story of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh, already added to Surah Al- Aaraf, should be kept in view, as the things explained therein will not be repeated here.
73. “They behaved arrogantly” because of their wealth, power, pomp and show, and considered themselves above subjection to the Message. Therefore they showed haughtiness instead of surrender and obedience to it.
