Surah Al-A'raaf · سُوْرَةُ الْاَعْرَافِ · Juz 9
Q 7:103
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَظَلَمُوا۟ بِهَا ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
Translations
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.Puis, après [ces messagers,] Nous avons envoyé Moïse avec Nos miracles vers Pharaon et ses notables. Mais ils se montrèrent injustes envers Nos signes. Considère donc quelle fut la fin des corrupteurs.Tafsir
Then Allah sent the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), after these messengers, to Pharaoh and his people with clear miracles showing the truth of what he came with. Yet they only rejected these miracles and disbelieved them. So reflect on what the end of Pharaoh and his people was as a result of their rejection: Allah destroyed them by drowning them, condemning them in this world and in the Afterlife.
Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
Then after them We sent Musa with Our signs to Fir'awn and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. So see how was the end of the mischief-maker (103)
Story of Prophet Musa, upon him be Peace, and Fir'awn
Allah said,
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِم
(Then after them We sent), after the Messengers whom We mentioned, such as Nuh, Hud, Salih Lut and Shu'ayb (may Allah's peace and blessings be on them and the rest of Allah's Prophets), We sent,
مُّوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا
(Musa with Our signs) proofs and clear evidences, to Fir'awn, who was ruler of Egypt during the time of Musa,
وَمَلَئِهِ
(and his chiefs) the people of Fir'awn,
فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا
(but they wrongfully rejected them), they denied and disbelieved in the signs, out of injustice and stubbornness on their part. Allah said about them in another Ayah,
وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
(And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though they were themselves convinced thereof. So see what was the end of the evildoers.)[27:14]
The Ayah says, 'those who hindered from the path of Allah and belied in His Messengers, look how We punished them, We caused them to drown, all of them, while Musa and his people were watching.' Public drowning added disgrace to the punishment that Fir'awn and his people suffered, while adding comfort to the hearts of Allah's party, Musa and those people who believed in him.
