Lesson
Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) said to the wizards: You should throw first that, what you
want to throw. The wizards put their many bamboos, long poles, wooden pieces
and ropes on the earth and spread them. After a while, the people, standing
there, began to see all those things like snakes and serpents.
As it has been
mentioned in this Surah, it is
commanded that the wizards dropped those things on the earth which they brought
with them and then they cast a spell upon the eyes of the people (practiced such
incantation on their eyes) that those all things were looked them like running
snakes and serpents. The people began to tremble due to fear.
In fact, it
was a big charm of magic, which cannot be shown to the people without too much
practice of fixing mind, with which thoughts of others may be impressed by own
thoughts. But these entire were deceptions of human thought. Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) did not have any kind of these imaginations.
It was
manifestation of the endless power and omnipotence of - the Creator of all
things, Who appropriates them as He desires and Glorious Owner, but Higher than
the human intellect, idea or imagination, due to which, the Staff of Moses
(peace be upon Him) used to become real serpent. There, wings of human
perception were on fire. Therefore, it is commanded: We inspired in the heart
of Moses (peace be upon Him) that He should throw His Staff on the earth.
As soon as
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) threw His staff on the earth, now it was a
big serpent and it began to swallow the bamboos, poles, wooden pieces and ropes
of the wizards. The field was clear from these things in a very short duration.
Tricks of magic were disappeared. The game prepared by the wizards got out of
their order. Heads of all people bent due to shame, fear and confusion. Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) won the competition and the wizards were defeated
very badly. Pharaoh and his chiefs were so disgraced that they were not able to
show their faces anywhere.
