Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

➋ { اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ:} You call me insane and claim to be wise yourself; if you truly have reason, then tell me: is the Lord the One by whose command the sun always rises from the East and sets in the West, or are you, who cannot do this even once? The first time, Musa (peace be upon him) used gentle words regarding Pharaoh and his companions, i.e., {’’ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوْقِنِیْنَ‘‘} but when Pharaoh accused him of being mad, Musa (peace be upon him) used harsh words {’’ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ‘‘} which means, 'if you understand'. (Ibn Juzayy)

[21] When Moses (peace be upon him) saw Pharaoh so flustered, he once again emphasized his claim and introduced the Lord of all worlds, saying that all the creatures inhabiting the face of the earth—whether they belong to this land of Egypt, or to the East, or to the West, or to anywhere else—all are sustained by that very Lord of all worlds. Now, hopefully, you people have understood who the Lord of all worlds is and who I am. You are merely the ruler of a patch of land, while I am the messenger of that Lord of all worlds whose sovereignty is not only over this entire earth but over the whole universe. Therefore, it is in your best interest to obey the messenger of the Sovereign of the universe.
