17. "Go to Pharaoh [13], for he has transgressed."
[13]
The Command to Go to Pharaoh:
After granting prophethood, the responsibility that Allah Almighty placed upon Musa (peace be upon him) was a very severe trial for him. By his hand, a Copt had accidentally died, and upon the information of a well-wisher that discussions regarding his killing were taking place in the Pharaoh’s parliament, he temporarily went towards Madyan. Because of this, Pharaoh’s government considered him a criminal. His name was on record. Besides this, Pharaoh was an extremely arrogant and rebellious ruler, to whom delivering such a message was, in itself, a life-threatening task. Musa (peace be upon him) expressed these dangers during his conversation with Allah Almighty, and this is a long story which has already been mentioned at several places before. Here, all such details have been omitted.
