To the people of Pharaoh [9]; do they not fear (Allah)?"
[9] Due to the oppression that Pharaoh and his government had inflicted upon the Children of Israel, Allah Almighty introduced this nation as an oppressive people. And when they committed such acts of tyranny, it never even occurred to them that there might be a Being above them who has the power to take retribution for their injustices. In their intoxication with power and authority, they had become completely fearless of Allah’s grasp.
