Pharaoh’s Intention to Kill Sayyiduna Musa (AS):
This refers to the time when the message of Sayyiduna Musa (AS) was spreading quietly. Besides the Children of Israel, many people from Pharaoh’s own nation had secretly embraced faith in Sayyiduna Musa (AS), and Pharaoh began to fear the loss of his kingdom. He said to his courtiers and people, “Let me kill Musa, otherwise he will destroy your religion and spread great disorder in the land.” In response, Musa (AS) said, “I have sought refuge with my Lord. Therefore, you will not be able to harm me in the least. Stoning me is out of the question.”
