قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذۡتَ اِلٰہًا غَیۡرِیۡ لَاَجۡعَلَنَّکَ مِنَ الۡمَسۡجُوۡنِیۡنَ
28:39.
کیونکہ اگر فرعون اس موقعہ پر یہ کہتا کہ میں بھی ایسا ہی ہوں تو خود اس کی قوم جو ستارہ پرست تھی اس سے بگڑ جاتی۔
28:39.
28:39.
Commentary:
Pharaohs question contained in v. 24 above, viz. "And what is the Lord of the worlds?" was so ably and effectively answered by Moses that he did not know how to contradict him. At first he had recourse to interruptions in order to silence Moses. When these tactics failed in their purpose, he sought to divert the attention of the audience by playing upon their feelings of patriotism and by making disparaging remarks concerning Moses. When this stratagem also failed, he resorted to giving open threats to Moses. Such invariably are the tactics used by those who feel that their case is weak. In fact, such tactics imply a confession of defeat on the part of the person who uses them.
The Egyptians were a nation of idol-worshippers. They worshipped wood and stones, the sun and stars. They had their animal gods and human gods. Fire, water and other natural elements were also worshipped by them. Their gods were legion. It was, therefore, nothing strange on the part of Pharaoh also to lay claim to Divinity.

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ یٰۤاَیُّہَا الۡمَلَاُ مَا عَلِمۡتُ لَکُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰہٍ غَیۡرِیۡ فَاَوۡقِدۡ لِیۡ یٰہٰمٰنُ عَلَی الطِّیۡنِ فَاجۡعَل لِّیۡ صَرۡحًا لَّعَلِّیۡۤ اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰۤی اِلٰہِ مُوۡسٰی وَاِنِّیۡ لَاَظُنُّہٗ مِنَ الۡکٰذِبِیۡنَ
اہل مصر کا عقیدہ تھا کہ آسمانی روحیں اونچے مقامات پر اُترتی ہیں۔ اس لئے وہ روحانی کسب کمال کے لئے اونچی عمارتیں بناتے تھے۔ اہرام مصر اسی عقیدہ کی یادگار ہیں۔
26:30.
40:37.
The verse is susceptible of two interpretations: (1) The Israelites were already working as labourers at the kilns. Pharaoh alludes to this ignoble condition of theirs and seems derisively to say to Haman, 'These people do not appear to have sufficient work to do. Having more than enough leisure they have begun to dream of Prophethood. They must be put to hard labour; then will they come to their senses and give up having false illusions about God and Prophethood.' (2) The Egyptians were well-versed in astronomy. They built high observatories for observing the movements of the stars. So Pharaoh jeeringly asked Haman to build for him a lofty observatory so that he might have a peep at the God of Moses.
