Allah says
" واتل عليهم نبأ نوح إذ قال لقومه يا قوم إن كان كبر عليكم مقامي وتذكيري بآيات الله فعلى الله توكلت فأجمعوا أمركم وشركاءكم ثم لا يكن أمركم عليكم غمة ثم اقضوا إلي ولا تنظرون "
“And tell to them the story of Noah when he said to his people, ‘O my people, if my standing and reminding you of the signs of God are too hard for you, In God I put my trust, so gather your affairs and your partners, then let your matter not be a burden you, then judge me and do not look back.”
Recite to them - that is, to your people - the story of Noah in his call to his people, when he called them to God for a long period, and he remained among them for a thousand years minus fifty years, His supplication to them only increased their tyranny, so they became bored with him and tired of him. And he, peace and blessings be upon him, was not lazy or slow in calling them, so he said to them: If my standing with you, and my reminding you of what will benefit you “of the signs of God,” the clear and clear evidence, has become difficult for you and is too great for you, and you want to harm me or reject the truth, Then the matter should not be secretly suspected, but let it be revealed publicly. And do not give me one hour of the day. This is conclusive proof and a great sign, on the authenticity of his message, and the sincerity of what he brought. He was alone, with no clan to protect him, and no soldiers to shelter him.
A view around the verse
Do you remember the beginning of the surah and the first verse in it (See, these are the verses of the Wise Book) and what is the characteristic of a wise person: He is the one who reminds you of the consequences, sometimes by example, and by story, sometimes, and so and so, Here God - the Almighty - is telling Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - to recite to the Quraysh the story of Noah - peace be upon him - and the people, whether the Quraysh or others, are fond of the story, its outcome and its end, The civilizations that existed around the Arabian Peninsula, such as China, India, and others, relied for the basis of their civilization on stories and legends, and you are aware that the wise men of China and India were present for thousands of years... Let us enter into the meanings of the Holy Verse:
And tell them the news of Noah
We agree that news is not important news, it is inspired by it, that is, tell them, O Muhammad the story of Noah - peace be upon him - even though Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace himself did not see it, but he tells things and details that it is impossible for him to lie about, And what has been reported repeatedly in the news from previous nations protects the truth that it is not possible to lie repeatedly, and there were those who knew ancient history from those who had knowledge from previous books, such as Waraqah bin Nawfal and Al-Ahbar (scholars of the People of the Book)
When he said to his people, “O my people, my standing and reminding me of the signs of God is too hard for you.”
Imagine a noble Prophet - peace be upon him - telling his people such a hadith. This has one meaning, that they harmed him in what he spokeز
So gather your affairs and your partners
Here lies the meaning of true trust. Did I not tell you: He pulls the rug from under your feet, so that you know that there is no refuge from God except from Him.
Then let your matter not be a burden you
Then let your matter not be hidden from anyone, but rather plain to all people
Then fate to me what do you want and do not look back
An increase in challenge, and in reality it is not a challenge, as the believer does not challenge anyone, but rather knows from those in front of him that he is on God’s side and no matter what God decrees, he is satisfied with God, Even if the wind brings something that his soul does not desire, and it is a type of pure trust in which there is no flaw, the whole people are against him, and he, with a small number, cannot rely on them, but rather the true reliance is on God - the Almighty -
Allah says
" فإن توليتم فما سألتكم من أجر إن أجري إلا على الله وأمرت أن أكون من المسلمين "
“If you turn away, I will not ask you for any reward. My reward is only on God, “I was commanded to be one of the Muslims.”
Regarding what I called you to do, there is no reason for you to follow, because it has become clear that you do not turn from falsehood to truth, but rather you turn from a truth for which there is evidence of its corruption, and with this, “I have not asked you for any reward” for my invitation and for your response, so you say: This man came to us to take our money, so you abstain for that reason.” And I was commanded, “Also, I did not command you to do a command or disagree with you to do the opposite, Rather, “to be of the Muslims,” for I am the first to enter, and the first to do, what I commanded you to do.
A view around the verse
If you turn away
Whether you allied with one another against me, or turned your backs on my call, or assumed high positions in society with which you could harm me.
I did not ask you for any reward. My reward is only from God, and I have been commanded to be among the Muslims.”
The issue is moral and not material, so Noah - peace be upon him - tells them that he does not intend from his preaching speech a political or even a social position in society, but rather it is a pure call to God and after that he does not expect any reward from you at all.
Allah says
" فكذبوه فنجيناه ومن معه في الفلك وجعلناهم خلائف وأغرقنا الذين كذبوا بآياتنا فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المنذرين "
“So they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ark, and We made them successors and drowned those who denied Our signs, then see what was the end of those who were warned.”
So We saved him and those with him in the ark, which We commanded him to make with Our eyes, and We said to him - when the ark ran out: “Load therein two of every pair, and destroy, except those against whom the word has preceded, and so forth.” We believe, So he did that. So God commanded the sky to rain with pouring water, and springs gushed forth on the earth, so the water met according to a command that was destined. “And We carried it upon a firm place of planks and pillars,” flowing with our eyes, And We made them successors in the earth, after destroying the deniers. Then God blessed his descendants, and made his descendants the remaining ones, and spread them throughout the regions of the earth, Let these liars beware, lest what befell those lying peoples befall them: destruction, disgrace, and punishment.
A view around the verse
So they denied him, so we saved him
The story of Noah - peace be upon him - who lived for 950 years ended in three verses. Tell me, which dramatist can summarize the story of the life of a person who lived for such a long time and summarize it in this miraculous way? Glory be to Him, the Most High, and the end for all the prophets and for their followers, God willing, is denial, then salvation, or death for the truth.
And those who are with him in the ark, and We made them successors
The believers and the followers of the prophets have one of two situations: either victory with a small number of believers like them, with their prophet, or testimony to the true religion and firm faith, then God made them caliphs on earth, Imagine that few (and only a few believed with him) are the only ones who inherit the earth and those on it. God - the Almighty - has done justice with His grace to every few who believe in Him and need victory, help, and heavenly support.
And We drowned those who denied Our signs
Here was the torment of the deniers (drowning). God has punishments of various forms and types, and God prevented the torment of uprooting nations from the nation of Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace and replace it with individual misfortunes. Whether you lie or do not lie, there is a special kind of eradication, and we are all subject to it if we are among the liars - may God protect us.
So look at what was the outcome of those who were warned
God - the Almighty - chose from the five senses (the sense of sight), but not every sight is consideration. We all look and pass by the things that happen around us with a dull heart and closed eyes except for what we want to see, so here is God - God Almighty says to you: O Muhammad and the nation of Muhammad after him: Look, but not just any look, but rather a look of consideration. O God, look of consideration, thought of consideration, and speech are the best to spread among the people.
Allah says
" ثم بعثنا من بعده رسلا إلى قومهم فجاءوهم بالبينات فما كانوا ليؤمنوا بما كذبوا به من قبل كذلك نطبع على قلوب المعتدين "
Then We sent messengers after him to their people, and they brought them clear proofs, They would not believe in what they denied before. Thus We seal the hearts of the transgressors.”
Why did We send after him - that is, after Noah, peace be upon him - messengers to their people - the deniers - calling them to guidance and warning them of the causes of destruction? Then they came to them with clear proofs, Every prophet supported his call, with verses indicating the validity of what he brought. “But they would not believe in that which they denied before,” meaning: God Almighty punished them, when the Messenger came to them, they hastened to deny him, so God sealed their hearts and prevented them from believing, after they had mastered it, as God Almighty said: “And We will turn their hearts and their eyes into a state as they had not believed in it the first time, That is why He said here, “Thus do We seal the hearts of the transgressors,” meaning: We seal them, so no good can enter them. And God did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves, by rejecting the truth when it came to them, and denying them at the first.

Then after him We sent messengers to their people
The apostles and prophets never left people far from the heavenly method in the first centuries, and it is the heavenly miracle supported by sensory miracles that were appropriate for every era. The miracle is something supernatural that cannot be achieved by the common people, As for the nation of Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - God chose physical miracles for His Messenger Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - such as the splitting of the moon and others, but the greatest miracle is the Qur’an: Why? Perhaps because at the end of time, it will be by the word that wars will be fought, by the word that agreements will be written, by the word a man will be known, and by the word theories will be written in the West, The word that is written turns into a product that travels across countries. God chose the word that carries a method and corresponds to all the words and all the theories available to people. He chooses whom He chooses and whoever is confused is confused. As it is said: Whoever is fertilized has a choice or is confused. Perhaps: At the end of time, there will be many religions, including a scientific robot that will be worshiped instead of God - and God is not unaware - Glory be to Him - the Most High - What will happen at the end of time, so his immortal words will be the perfect challenge to an iron robot that will neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone in the matter of the afterlife, and perhaps more than that, for God knows what He wants from His servants.
Then they came to them with clear proofs, but they would not believe in what they had denied before
The corrupt gives birth to a corrupt person who is stronger than him. As the English say in popular proverbs: The third generation gives birth to a gentleman. The corrupt person gives birth to a corrupt person with a better accent, appearance, and position than his father, so his corruption is more severe and widespread, the righteous begets the righteous, but there are paradoxes in life. From the back of the corrupt, a scholar is born, and from the back of the scholar , a corrupt is born. Anyone whose parents do not believe in a way that pleases God Almighty - except for a few - will not believe.
We also seal the hearts of the aggressors
Printing here means a seal, and you are aware that the seal comes at the last stage of official papers, and if something is written above the seal, it becomes a forgery in official papers, and here, after God’s seal on the hearts of the aggressors, no one, whoever he is, dares to write something that God Almighty does not want, And why did he do that to them: Because they are aggressors, and who is the aggressor: he is the one whose injustice to himself goes beyond the injustice of others... Perhaps people seeing them as corrupt as their situation with God and their good situation in this world for a prosperous time spoils their faith for the rest, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.
Allah says
" ثم بعثنا من بعدهم موسى وهارون إلى فرعون وملئه بآياتنا فاستكبروا وكانوا قوما مجرمين "
Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs, Our signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.”
That is: after these messengers, whom God sent to the perishable, lying people. Musa bin Imran, the Most Merciful, one of the most powerful among the messengers, He is one of the great people to be emulated, and the great and broad laws were revealed to them. And We made with him his brother “and Aaron” a minister and sent them “to Pharaoh and his chiefs, That is: the leaders of his state and their leaders, because the majority of them followed the leaders. “With Our signs” indicating the truth of what they brought, Of the monotheism of God, and the prohibition of worshiping anything other than God Almighty. “But they were arrogant” about it, unjustly and arrogantly, after they had become certain of it. “And they were a criminal people,” meaning: He described them as criminals and disbelievers.

Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron
The Egyptian civilization existed more than 7,000 years ago, so it was one of the contemporary civilizations of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace - one of the great civilizations around the Arabian Peninsula no less important than the Babylonian civilization in Iraq, Or the civilization of Yemen, the civilization of China, India, and other civilizations. What do I mean? I mean that the Egyptian civilization was one of the first civilizations on earth, and therefore God Almighty singled it out, Without Western civilizations such as Persia (currently Iran), India, China and others, because they are an Arab country and all the heavenly religions were revealed in the land of the Arabs, and perhaps God - the Almighty - singled them out by sending the Prophet of God Moses and the Prophet of God Aaron - peace be upon them - because they were symbolic of political corruption without all of these civilizations. , and God is superior and knows best .
To Pharaoh and his chiefs
The head of power in Egypt at that time was called the Pharaoh, not a personal name. As for the public: they are the elite, they are the people with high white collars, they are the ones who fill the first chairs in meetings, why? Why did Moses and Aaron - peace be upon them - leave the Children of Israel (the weak ones at that time) Or even the rest of the common, non-elite Egyptians to go to them? Perhaps to achieve justice in a place where there is much injustice, it is a type of denial of evil against the elite who enjoy good things at the expense of the poor and the oppressed, unjustly and aggressively.
With Our signs
What are the signs of God in the case of Moses and Aaron?
Nine verses, including (the stick - and the hand comes out white even though Moses - peace be upon him - was dark in color - lice - frogs and blood... etc.) Did you notice anything? Pharaoh carried one of the greatest civilizations at that time. He had many magicians working under his command, and it was chemistry, and chemistry was one of the finest sciences if taken in its proper form. I mean, they were living in an ancient civilization, Have you noticed that the signs of God are very simple, blood - frogs - sticks... etc. I mean that God - the Almighty - with all His prophets and messengers did not deal with the data and what other civilizations have achieved, and this is a challenge and what a challenge, because he does not debate with them what they know, but rather debates with them. With what they cannot, And today you are an expert that in some countries frogs flew in huge numbers due to a tsunami in one of the countries, to the point that it was as if the sky was raining frogs, and other cosmic signs that the West calls (the wrath of nature) and we call (God exists).
So they were arrogant and were a criminal people
What is arrogance: deliberately twisting your neck in arrogance over what you hear from those in front of you, which is what the elite did in Egypt at that time, then God Almighty says in his description (Indeed, they were a criminal people) A criminal, according to the law, is someone who has committed a crime for which he deserves criminal punishment. Here, the elite, the people: the large group, were all criminals deserving of divine punishment, Although: If you thought for a moment, you would know that perhaps they have some right with today’s facts. Someone grew up among them (Moses, peace be upon him, was raised in the house of Pharaoh) He turned against him and said that he was one of the prophets of God, and Aaron - peace be upon him - chose to be a messenger with him even though he was not raised in the house of Pharaoh, and despite that they speak in public in luxury and they talk about very simple things, and they are people of knowledge (the Egyptians) Wouldn't arrogance get to you if you were in their position? Of course, you are aware that there are four great temptations from which no one can escape except those who have mercy on God (knowledge, beauty, money, and power) If you survive one of them, you may not survive the other, and if you gather two or more of them, fear for yourself. Return your sight to the words again, for you will find that the elite has from these temptations (Money - power - knowledge and perhaps beauty)
Allah says
" فلما جاءهم الحق من عندنا قالوا إن هذا لسحر مبين "
“When the truth came to them from Us, they said, ‘This is clear magic.’”
Which is the greates type of truth, and it is from God, to whose greatness necks are subjected, and He is the Lord of the worlds, who nurtures all His creation with blessings. When the truth came to them from God, At the hands of Moses, they rejected him and did not accept him. And “they said, ‘Indeed, this is clear magic.’” Their turning away, nor their turning away from it, was not enough for them - may God make them ugly, Until they made it invalidate falsehood, which is magic: the reality of which is camouflage. Rather, they made it clear, apparent magic, which is the clear truth.
A view around the verse
When the truth came to them from Us
Who says that the verses are the truth? God - the Almighty - and the truth only says the truth, and it is from God - the Almighty -
They said that this is clear magic
Magic is the subject of chemistry in which the Egyptians excelled at that time, and it is the charm of science, and it is the most powerful thing they know in the world, so their saying that this is clear magic is a statement that is understood and its motives are well known.
“Moses said, ‘Do you say to the truth when it came to you, Is this a magic ” but the magicians do not succeed?
Rebuking them for their rejection of the Truth, which only the most unjust of people would reject: “Do you speak of the truth when it has come to you?” meaning: Do you say that it is clear magic? “Enchanted this” meaning: so look at its description.
And what it contains. Once that is said, he is certain that it is the truth. “And sorcerers will not succeed” neither in this world nor in the hereafter. So look at whose outcome will be, and who has success, and on whose hands is success, They learned after that, and it became clear to everyone, that Moses, peace be upon him, was the one who succeeded and won the victory in this world and the hereafter.
Allah says
﴿ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ﴾
“So when the truth came to them from Us, they said, ‘Indeed, this is clear magic.’”
“And when the truth came to them from Us,” which is the greatest and greatest type of truth, and it is from God, to whose greatness necks are subjected, and He is the Lord of the Worlds, the one who nurtures all His creation with blessings, When the truth came to them from God, through Moses, they rejected it and did not accept it, It was not enough for them - may God make them ugly - to turn away or reject it, until they made it invalidate falsehood, which is magic, the reality of which is camouflage. Rather, they made it clear, apparent magic, which is the clear truth.
A view around the verse
Moses' response - peace be upon him - was: Do you say to the truth when it came to you that this was magic? An indication of his denunciation of their position, which he knows very well that he has grown old. Sorcerers do not reap goodness, for they spoil people’s lives, separate a man from his wife, and turn life into darkness, neither the magicians, nor their helpers, nor those who go to them do good, nor do they reap anything but evil, As you know, the famous story of a famous witch from an Arab country decided to go to the Kaaba but never saw it. This was a great miracle. May God protect us with His grace.
Allah says
" قالوا أجئتنا لتلفتنا عما وجدنا عليه آباءنا وتكون لكما الكبرياء في الأرض وما نحن لكما بمؤمنين "
Have you come to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon, of polytheism and worshiping other than God, and to command us to worship God alone, without partners? So they made the words of their misguided fathers an argument by which they rejected the truth that Moses, peace be upon him, had brought to them. That is, you came to us to be the leaders and to expel us from our lands, This is a camouflage on their part, and a promotion against their ignorance, and an incitement among the common people, to be hostile to Moses, and not to believe in him. This cannot be used as evidence, by those who know the facts and distinguish between matters, for arguments cannot be defended, except with arguments and proofs.
A view around the verse
They said, “You have come to us to distract us from what we found our fathers in.”
Look at what the elite say: Have you come to us, O Moses - as if their mouthpiece was saying, “Whoever was raised in the presidential palaces” - have you come to us to distance us from what we were accustomed to from our fathers, and what we found them to be? This is our way and the way of our fathers, so why do you want us to change it?
And you will have pride in the land
The second slander is that Moses and Aaron - peace be upon them - have worldly, non-lofty goals behind them, which is to achieve the pride that they (the elite) have, especially since Moses - peace be upon them - He sided with the weak (the Children of Israel), and Aaron - peace be upon him - grew up among the Children of Israel, so they both sided away from the way of the elite.
And we are not believers in you
And this was the last reply, we will not be believe in you and your brother.
