A Lesson in the Story of Pharaoh:
That is, in this incident there is a sign for all kinds of people. For the oppressors, the sign is that they cannot escape the punishment for their deeds and the grasp of Allah Almighty. Allah’s hand of power draws them towards destruction through such means that they could never have imagined. Therefore, O opponents of Quraysh, you too should take a lesson from this incident, lest you also face such an evil end. And in this incident, there is also a sign for the believers: it is that Allah Almighty certainly tests the believers. They also suffer hardships. Ultimately, Allah helps the oppressed and destroys the oppressors.
