بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

7.123-126

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْۚ-اِنَّ هٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوْهُ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوْا مِنْهَاۤ اَهْلَهَاۚ-فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(123) لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ(124) قَالُوْۤا اِنَّاۤ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَۚ (125) وَ مَا تَنْقِمُ مِنَّاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ اٰمَنَّا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتْنَاؕ-رَبَّنَاۤ اَفْرِغْ عَلَیْنَا صَبْرًا وَّ تَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِیْنَ۠ (126)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Fir'awn said, 'You have believed in him (i.e. Moosa) before I gave you permission; this is indeed a big conspiracy you have all spread in the city, in order to drive away its people therefrom; so, you shall now come to know.' 'I swear I will cut off your hands and your feet from alternate sides, and then will crucify you all.' They said, 'We are to return to our Lord.' 'And what did you dislike from us except that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us? O our Lord, pour upon us patience, and cause us to die as Muslims.'

Commentary

To deem faith and righteous deeds as detrimental to worldly life is the way of the disbelievers. A true believer considers both elements as beneficial in this world and the Hereafter.

When the heart of a believer is overwhelmed by the passion of faith, he does not fear anyone other than Allah Almighty. The sorcerers exemplified this when they embraced faith yet remained unshaken by the extreme torture Pharaoh promised to inflict on anyone who believes in Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. They responded to him courageously without concealing their faith behind a veil of deception.

These people were sorcerers in the beginning of the day, they embraced faith later that day and were martyred by the end of the day; with the grace of Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام they attained faith, companionship and martyrdom within a single day.
