Glad Tidings of Success Through Revelation:
In another place in the Noble Quran, it is mentioned that the magicians presented a very great magic. The staffs and ropes of these magicians, numbering in the thousands, were moving before the people like snakes, and the field of contest was filled with such snakes. These snakes had terrified the people, and Pharaoh and his special courtiers were inwardly pleased with the feats of these magicians and were applauding them. Seeing this situation, even Musa (Moses) ؑ began to feel fear in his heart, thinking that Allah knows best what the outcome of this contest will be. At that moment, Allah Almighty revealed to Sayyiduna Musa ؑ that there is no need to fear, and also gave him the glad tidings that you will surely be victorious.
