KNOWLEDGE MIGHT BE A SOURCE OF FAITH Verses 70-76

      In that critical condition in which the outcry of joy and excitement, on the part of the Egyptians had filled the area for their wonderful performance of magic, God said to Moses:ِ ``Don't worry! You do have the upper hand. Just cast down the thing which is in your right hand.''

Moses cast down his rod, and LO! A huge serpent appeared moving, and swallowed whatever Pharaoh's magicians had forged and the whole crowd was struck with astonishment! No voice was heard any more. A silence prevailed, as if people had bird on their head.

 

      The magician who could distinguish well, between a miracle and a magic, suddenly prostrated themselves reclining with faces on the ground, in humble adoration and worship of Allah, the Lord of Moses and Aaron! Thus they practically recanted their former creed, which was a mixture of magic, superstition, trickery, and deception, to which the Egyptians were compelled to bow, because their king was the high priest and the supreme god of that false religion.

      There in the field, the sorcerers openly and very frankly announced:ِ

      ``We believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron!''

      Pharaoh, filled with fear and anger, was going mad! He accused his own magicians of having been in league with Moses, and that having been taught by him!

      The merciless tyrant, who thought all his subjects had to follow his order by all means and without any objection; cried on the magicians with a dreadful wrath, saying:ِ

      ``You did believe him before I give you leave!? He is your chief master who has taught you magic.''

      Pharaoh then issued his inhuman and cruel decree of punishment! It was to cut their hands and feet on alternate side, and then to crucify them upon the trunks of palm-trees!

      But on the other hand, to his unjust and inhuman judgement the reaction of the magicians was very cold, and with much indifference! They said to Pharaoh:ِ

      ``Do your worst o, king! Do us whatever of cruelty and oppression you can! But know that we are not going to deny and reject the clear signs that has been appeared. We shall never prefer you over our Lord, and His clear signs that has already come to us. We have believed in our Lord, with the hope that He may forgive us our faults; and in particular the sorcery to which you compelled us. Allah, our Lord is the best, and the Everlasting; and your judgement might only be valid in this mortal life.''
