Indeed, Pharaoh ˹arrogantly˺ elevated himself in the land and divided its people into ˹subservient˺ groups, one of which he persecuted, slaughtering their sons and keeping their women. He was truly one of the corruptors.
The ultimate irony of Ashura is our perception of it. We remember it as the day victory was written for Musa (AS), when in reality, that victory had been written decades earlier.
Terrified by a prophecy that a boy would one day overthrow him, Pharaoh ordered the systematic slaughter of countless innocent infants to preserve his throne. Yet Allah overturned his every calculation. The very child Pharaoh sought to eliminate was placed under his own...

This depiction of Pharaoh as a baby killer evokes a sense of despair and grief, making the prospect of the oppressed becoming leaders seem far-fetched.
However, amidst this backdrop, the Quran unveils Allah's plan: 'But it was Our Will to favour...
