Only Those Who Deny the Hereafter Can Be Arrogant and Oppressive:
Whether Pharaoh spoke of killing Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) in his presence or Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) learned of Pharaoh’s threat through some intermediary, in any case, when he heard this, he said to his people: I do not care at all about such threats from Pharaoh. Not only Pharaoh alone, even if all the arrogant and tyrants of the world gather together, they cannot harm me in the least, because I have placed myself in the protection of my Lord, and He is sufficient to save me from their evil. Incidentally, from this verse it is also understood that only those people can be arrogant, tyrannical, and oppressive who do not believe in the Day of Resurrection.
