Translation of Verse 28-37

28. A believing man from Pharaoh's people, who was hiding his faith, argued, "Will you kill a man 969 ˹only˺ for saying: 'My Lord is Allah,' while he has in fact come to you with clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, it will be to his own loss. But if he is truthful, then you will be afflicted with some of what he is threatening you with. Surely Allah does not guide whoever is a transgressor, a total liar.

29. O my people! Authority belongs to you today, reigning supreme in the land. But who would help us against the torment of Allah, if it were to befall us?" Pharaoh assured ˹his people˺, "I am telling you only what I believe, and I am leading you only to the way of guidance."

30. And the man who believed cautioned, "O my people! I truly fear for you the doom of ˹earlier˺ enemy forces-

31. like the fate of the people of Noah, 'Ȃd, Thamûd, and those after them. For Allah would never will to wrong ˹His˺ servants.

32. O my people! I truly fear for you the Day all will be crying out ˹to each other˺-

33. the Day you will ˹try in vain to˺ turn your backs and run away, with no one to protect you from Allah. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

34. Joseph already came to you 970 earlier with clear proofs, yet you never ceased to doubt what he came to you with. When he died you said, 'Allah will never send a messenger after him.' This is how Allah leaves every transgressor and doubter to stray-

35. those who dispute Allah's signs with no proof given to them. How despicable is that for Allah and the believers! This is how Allah seals the heart of every arrogant tyrant."

36. Pharaoh ordered, "O Hamân! Build me a high tower so I may reach the pathways

37. leading up to the heavens and look for the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar." 971 And so Pharaoh's evil deeds were made so appealing to him that he was hindered from the ˹Right˺ Way. But the plotting of Pharaoh was only in vain.


Commentary

969. i.e., Moses ( ﷺ ) .

970. Meaning, your ancestors, because Joseph ( ﷺ ) died over 400 hundred years before Moses ( ﷺ ) .

971. See 28:38.
