The reasons for its down
The reasons for the revelation of verse (56): On the authority of Abu Hurairah: “The Messenger of God said to his uncle, Abu Talib, when he was about to die: say there is no god but God, and I will testify for you on the Day of Resurrection, It made him so afraid of death that your eye would have settled. Then God revealed the verse. Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Abu Jaafar said: And we have previously explained the interpretation of the words of God Almighty: (Tasm), and we mentioned the difference of the people of interpretation in its interpretation.
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ (2)
This is the verses of the clear book (2)
These are the verses of the book that I sent down to you, O Muhammad, which shows that it is from God, and that you did not say it: and you did not make it wrong.
نَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَىٰ وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ (3)
We recite to you from the news of Musa and Pharaoh with truth for people who believe (3)
Qatada said: (We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh with truth for people who believe) In this Qur'an is their prophecy. And His saying: (for a people who believe) He says: for a people who believe in this book.
So that they know that what we recite to you about informing them is informing them, and their souls are reassured, that our law is with regard to those who oppose you and are hostile to you among the polytheists.
إِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ عَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهۡلَهَا شِيَعٗا يَسۡتَضۡعِفُ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنۡهُمۡ يُذَبِّحُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ (4)
Pharaoh ruled over the land and made its people into sects, He would weaken a party of them by slaughtering their sons and alive their women. Indeed, he was among the corrupters (4)
Pharaoh was arrogant in the land of Egypt, and he exalted its people and subdued them, until they acknowledged their worship to him.
(Indeed, Pharaoh reigned supreme in the land)
forced into the ground
overwhelm in the land
(and made its people into sects)
By sect, he means: sects, he says: He made its people dispersed into sects.
That is, a group that slaughters a group of them, spares a group, tortures a group, and enslaves a group.
About Al-Sadi, he said
It was Pharaoh's business that he saw a vision in his dream, that a fire came from Jerusalem until it included the houses of Egypt, burning the Copts, and leaving the Children of Israel, and the houses of Egypt were burned, so he called the sorcerers and priests and asked them about his vision, and they told him: He will come out of this country from which the Children of Israel came, they mean Bayt al-Maqdis, a man whose face is the destruction of Egypt, so he commanded the Children of Israel that no boy would be born to them but that they would slaughter him, and that no girl would be born to them but that she would be left, and he said to the Copts: Look at your slaves who work outside, so bring them in, and make the children of Israel paint those filthy jobs, so he put the children of Israel in the work of their slaves, and they brought in their servants, and that is when he says: (Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into sects) He means the children of Israel, when he made them into dirty deeds.
(He weakens a group of them)
His weakening of it was his enslavement
(Indeed, he was of the corrupters)
He says: He was one of those who caused corruption in the land by killing those who did not deserve to be killed, and enslaving him who did not have the right to enslave him, and forcing him on the earth over its people, and his arrogance to worship his Lord.
وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتُضۡعِفُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَنَجۡعَلَهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ وَنَجۡعَلَهُمُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثِينَ (5)
And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the imams, and to make them the inheritors (5)
The meaning of speech
That Pharaoh rose in the land and made its people, from among the children of Israel, a sect that oppressed a group of them (and) we (we) wanted to bestowed to those whom Pharaoh had weakened from the children of Israel (and to make them imams)
His saying: (And We will make them imams) meaning: governors and kings.
(and make them imams)
the rulers of the matter
(and make them the heirs)
He says: And We will make them the heirs of Pharaoh's family, who will inherit the land after their destruction.
That is, they inherited the land after Pharaoh and his people
A view of the previous five verses
First: Who is Pharaoh' Moses?
The title of Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was given to the political and religious leader who claimed divinity
He was not one of the pharaohs harsher than Pharaoh Moses, and he was even worse in judgment than any ruler before, and it was said that he was a tyrannical ruler persecuting the children of Israel and their children, as the children of Israel were slaves to the pharaohs,
Pharaoh of Egypt at that time also ordered the killing of all newborns among the male children of Israel.
Pharaoh's physical attributes
height and stature
In some narrations, it was stated that Pharaoh was short and red when he was thrown into the coast after he drowned, and the children of Israel saw him.
the face
There are accounts that say that Pharaoh is bald and bald, and the word Akhnes means that his nose was higher than his face. That is, a little raised in the rabbit, and it was a trace, which means that the tooth is broken in its origin
Other
Some archaeologists stated that despite the development and accuracy of technology, we cannot be 100% sure of the ancient Egyptians' forms.
About the character of Pharaoh
The origin and birth
Pharaoh is attributed to the family that ruled Egypt before 3100 BC
The name of Pharaoh was not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, but rather highlighted his personality and what he represents
It has been said that it is attributed to the tribes of Yemen
It was also said that he was attributed to the Copts of Egypt
It was said that he was attributed to the giants
the most important stations of his life
Pharaoh came to power in 1580 BC, and he ruled for 14 years.
His personal life
Historian Josephus claims that Pharaoh Moses is called Ahmose, but we cannot ascertain the validity of this saying. It was mentioned in other sources that he married the legitimate heiress Hatshepsut, and the Hyksos were expelled from Egypt by Pharaoh Ahmose, and (the Hyksos are the same Hebrews)
His death
God drowned Pharaoh and his soldiers and the sea closed on them on the day of Ashura, which is the tenth of Muharram, and this is precisely the day that Pharaoh died, but it is not known in what year his death was exactly, and it was said that Pharaoh drowned in the Sea of Qalzam near Egypt.
Second: the commentary on the verses
1 - God Almighty begins the honorable Surah with one of His sublime secrets. No matter how long time passes and we learn the interpretation of the scholars with it, we do not understand its specific meaning, and we do not know why God Almighty begins, does it really start with some surahs? However, the surah talks about the weak, and God begins with a secret.
2- For the sake of the secret, these verses will come to your ears after a few verses, and the verse is the distinguishing sign that guides you in the right direction, where to go instead of floundering in crooked ways, and these verses are the gender and essence of this clear book, which if the illiterate reads it, it will understand it, and if the learner with good education read it Jurisprudence it, it will understand it, and the scholar will definitely increase his fear of God - the Almighty - and others.
3- We will recite to you one of the stories that affected the history of not only Moses, but also a story that affected all mankind, and it is repeated, despite the fact that Moses is one - peace be upon him - because he is a prophet of God and he brought divine miracles, and he came in his name, so his presence was repeated in the history of mankind, something very rare. As for Pharaoh, who came in the name of the ruler of Egypt at that time, It will be repeated many times in life and it does not have to appear in Egypt specifically. Why? Because God Almighty - says in Surat Yusuf (And he was bestowed to me when he got me out of prison and brought you from the Bedouins) This means that all the countries around the Arabian Peninsula are Bedouins except for Egypt, It is the one that was civilized since that time, and the emergence of a new Pharaoh is the possibility of his appearing in any city (any civilized country and has the innovations of his time, as was Pharaoh Moses), of course God is Most High and Knows the best
4 - By Truth: Why by Truth? Does God say not the truth? Why does Ali confirm that this hadith is true? As you walk through the world of people, you find the majority liars, and if their lie is just an exaggeration in their words, then they add to the main topic with great craftsmanship, even if the conversation is transmitted between 5 people, and it differs from the first to the fifth totaly, they call it different names, except for lying, but this speech of God is true on the one hand, and on the other hand: The Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings were fond of myths and legends. Don't you remember Surat Luqman? Therefore, the hadith of God - the Almighty - a hadith (different ) is a firm and unambiguous hadith
5 - And we want to be a blessing to those who have been oppressed: This is a unique abbreviation for the whole story, why? Because God - the Almighty - started with the story (the tyrannical Pharaoh and Moses the weak) and then showed the weak people like Moses - peace be upon him - then he ended the sad short story that he wanted to bestowed to them, and it is the opposite of all the stories that you can hear from the greatest authors - and if they used it after that, except that God - the Almighty - wrote the events of a story whose conclusion is at its beginning and not at its end, then it is a summary of words, followed by details, and it is an interesting and strange narrative style for Arab listeners at that time.
6 - As you have seen from the opinions of distinguished scholars: that Pharaoh established several sects in the Egyptian society at the time in which he lived, and these sects are:
The sect that slaughters its own children (Bani Israel)
- A sect he leaves alive without man to manage their affairs (women)
A sect that will be tormented by hard labor (Bani Israel)
A sect that made them slaves (Bani Israel)
- A sect blessed with honoring him (the inhabitants of Egypt “the Copts”), as the inhabitants of Egypt were called Copts at this time
And whoever claims that Egypt is now under the rule of the Pharaoh: to look with an eye of fairness on these sects, are there slaves in Egypt? (cheap labor or no pay at all) As in Arab countries, such as Mauritania, in particular, where it has the largest percentage of slaves in the whole world, east and west, and it is a Muslim country.
7 - It is Sunnah to supplicate with the supplications of the Qur’an, so you can convert a verse into a supplication even if it is not a supplication in the first place, for example (God wants to Bestowed on ...) we convert it to: (O Allah, bestowed on those who have been deemed weak among the Muslims in the east and west of the earth, And make them imams, and make them the heirs, and establish them in your land, And show those who made them weak from them what they were afraid of ) )
8 - Look around you, you will find slaves today reaching 10 million people around the world or more, including Muslim women and children, and they are used in the sex trade and other things, cheap labor in Asia and without pay in other countries, and debt slaves are those who immigrate illegally and are forced to work without pay in order to pay off their debts, and others, are these Muslims among them? Of course yes, are they vulnerable? Of course yes, so pray for them and talk about their tragedies, perhaps God will happen something else after that.
Let's start with the details, starting from the next face, God willing...
