10.76-77-78

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ(76) قَالَ مُوْسٰۤى اَتَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمْؕ-اَسِحْرٌ هٰذَاؕ-وَ لَا یُفْلِحُ السّٰحِرُوْنَ(77) قَالُوْۤا اَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَا وَ تَكُوْنَ لَكُمَا الْكِبْرِیَآءُ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ مَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(78)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “Indeed this is clear sorcery[1].” Mūsā said, “Do you say this about the truth when it came to you? Is this sorcery? And sorcerers do not succeed.” They said, “Have you come to us to turn us away from that (religion) upon which we found our forefathers, and so that both of you have superiority in the earth? And we are not going to believe in both of you.”[1]

Commentary

[1]

Pharaoh and his people realised that the truth had come from Allah Almighty, and yet, out of spite, they called it sorcery. Refusing to accept the truth, despite knowing it, due to egotistical reasons is the way of Pharaoh and his people. Those who persistently reject the truth and create doubts about it in others by trying to justify their false stances while discrediting truthful people should learn from this.

It has long been the way of rulers to falsely accuse advisors, instead of accepting reform, claiming that they aspire to power. These baseless accusations are mere attempts to dismiss the truthful. Even today if mistakes of governance are identified, rulers begin to say that these people want to end our authority and take over.
