➋ { وَ نَجْعَلَهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً:} When Allah’s zeal for helping the oppressed is aroused, He not only removes oppression from them, but also bestows further rewards upon them. Thus, it is said, We intended to show favor to them and make them leaders in religion as well as leaders in government and authority, so that no one would dare to oppress them.
➌ { وَ نَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ:} And to make them heirs to the dominance and authority of Pharaoh and the people of Pharaoh, and to all those things which they left behind when they were drowned—and so it happened. See Surah Al-A’raf (137), Ash-Shu’ara (57–59), and Ad-Dukhan (25–27).

Allah’s Favor Upon the Oppressed Children of Israel:
That is, Pharaoh wanted to completely annihilate this oppressed group. But Allah had willed something else. Allah wanted that such a cruel and tyrannical nation should be annihilated, and those poor souls upon whom these injustices were being inflicted should not only be delivered from them, but also be made heirs to the property and land of these oppressors. The leadership of religion should also be entrusted to them, and the crown of worldly leadership should be placed upon their heads. And this is Allah’s established practice: He clears the earth of the oppressors and the arrogant, and settles in their place those oppressed ones upon whom injustices were committed.
