Lesson
Pharaoh
used to trust in his power very much. To remove his mania, Prophet Moses was
given such miracles, due to which, Glory, Dignity and Greatness of Omnipotent
and Subduer God is reflected. Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) said in His
first Message: O Pharaoh! I have such Tokens, beholding which, you would have to
accept yourself helpless and incapable before Most Potent and Superior, Allah.
Pharaoh had apparent powers. Entire
wealth of his country was under his possession. The people used to worship and
obey him without thinking. Production was in abundance in the country. There
were rivers and canals for irrigation. Observing all these things under his
control, Pharaoh was unable to understand: Can any other be more powerful than
me?
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him)
said to him: Allah Almighty is more Powerful than you, Who is Lord of the
entire Worlds. Pharaoh said: OK! Have you any token of your God? If you have,
produce it also before us. We want to see, which token you have?
It is commanded that Pharaoh said
after hearing talks of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him): If you have really
any such token, show us, so that we may know about your truth or a lie. Allah
Almighty had told this way already to Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), He
flung down the Staff of His hand without any hesitation. As soon as the staff
fell down, it became a big serpent at once and began to hiss and spring towards
the people.
It is written that the serpent sprang
unto the Pharaoh before the eyes, and on the other side, Prophet Moses (peace
be upon Him) put his hand beneath his bosom and drew forth. It began to shine
like a sun. Even that the eyes of Pharaoh and other people were in the state of
being dazzled and their eyes remained fixedly open. Thither, the serpent has
been coming duly springing and hissing. And hither shining of the hand of
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) is going to close their eyes.
