Read in Context

Chapter 7, Page 164, Juz 9

109. The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said, “He is indeed a skilled magician, 110. who seeks to drive you from your land.” ˹So Pharaoh asked,˺ “What do you propose?” 111. They replied, “Let him and his brother wait and send mobilizers to all cities 112. to bring you every clever magician.” 113. The magicians came to Pharaoh, saying, “Shall we receive a ˹suitable˺ reward if we prevail?” 114. He replied, “Yes, and you will certainly be among those closest to me.” 115. They asked, “O Moses! Will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?” 116. Moses said, “You first.” So when they did, they deceived the eyes of the people, stunned them, and made a great display of magic. 117. Then We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff,” and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion! 118. So the truth prevailed and their illusions failed. 119. So Pharaoh and his people were defeated right there and put to shame. 120. And the magicians fell down, prostrating. 121. They declared, “We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds— 122. the Lord of Moses and Aaron.” 123. Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? This must be a conspiracy you devised in the city to drive out its people, but soon you will see. 124. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.” 125. They responded, “Surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return. 126. Your rage towards us is only because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ˹to You˺.”
