Surah Al-Qasas Verse 4

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَائِفَةً مِنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ



Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.

طسم - تِلْكَ ءَايَـتُ الْكِتَـبِ الْمُبِينِ - لَعَلَّكَ بَـخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلاَّ يَكُونُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ - إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـضِعِينَ - وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَـنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ - فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَـؤُا مَا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

(1. Ta Sin Mim)

(2. These are the Ayat of the manifest Book.)

(3. We recite to you some of the news of Musa and Fir

awn in truth, for a people who believe.)

(4. Verily, Fir

awn exalted himself in the land and made its people Shiya

a, weakening a group among them: killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the mischief-makers.)

(5. And We wished to do a favor to those who were weak in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors,)

(6. And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir

awn and Haman and their armies receive from them that which they feared.)

The Story of Musa and Fir`awn, and what Allah intended for Their Peoples

We have already discussed the significance of the separate letters.

تِلْكَ ءَايَـتُ الْكِتَـبِ الْمُبِينِ

(These are the Ayat of the manifest Book.) means the Book which is clear and makes plain the true reality of things, and tells us about what happened and what will happen.

نَتْلُواْ عَلَيْكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَى وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ

(We recite to you some of the news of Musa and Fir`awn in truth,) This is like the Ayah,

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ

(We relate unto you the best of stories) (12:3). which means, `We tell you about things as they really were, as if you are there and are seeing them yourself.' Then Allah says:

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلاَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ

(Verily, Fir`awn exalted himself in the land) means, he was an arrogant oppressor and tyrant.

وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعاً

(and made its people Shiya`) means, he made them into different classes, each of which he used to do whatever he wanted of the affairs of his state.

يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ

(weakening a group among them. ) This refers to the Children of Israel, who at that time were the best of people, even though this tyrant king overpowered them, using them to do the most menial work and forcing them to hard labor night and day for him and his people. At the same time, he was killing their sons and letting their daughters live, to humiliate them and because he feared that there might appear among them the boy who would be the cause of his destruction and the downfall of his kingdom. So Fir`awn took precautions against that happening, by ordering that all boys born to the Children of Israel should be killed, but this precaution did not protect him against the divine decree, because when the term of Allah comes, it cannot be delayed, and for each and every matter there is a decree from Allah. Allah says:

وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ

(And We wished to do a favor to those who were weak in the land,) until His saying;

(which they feared.) And Allah did indeed do this to them, as He says:

وَأَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ كَانُواْ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ

(And We made the people who were considered weak) until His saying;

(they erected) (7:137). And Allah said:

كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـهَا بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ

(Thus and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them) (26: 59). Fir`awn hoped that by his strength and power he would be saved from Musa, but that did not help him in the slightest. Despite his great power as a king he could not oppose the decree of Allah, which can never be overcome. On the contrary, Allah's ruling was carried out, for it had been written and decreed from past eternity that Fir`awn would meet his doom at the hands of Musa.

Ia bertindak semaunya terhadap mereka dan memberlakukan untuk mereka sesuatu yang ia inginkan karena berkuasa terhadap mereka.

Yaitu Bani Israil, di mana mereka adalah umat yang Allah lebihkan pada masa itu di atas umat-umat yang lain, sehingga pantas untuk dimuliakan oleh Fir’aun. Tetapi kenyataannya, Fir’aun malah menindas mereka karena dilihatnya mereka tidak memiliki kekuatan untuk menolak keinginannya, sehingga Fir’aun tidak peduli lagi mau berbuat apa terhadap mereka sampai akhirnya ia berani menyembelih anak laki-laki mereka yang baru lahir karena khawatir jumlah Bani Israil semakin banyak sehingga memenuhi negerinya dan akhirnya menguasai kerajaannya.

Yang baru lahir. Fir’aun melakukan hal itu karena kekhawatiran kerajaannya akan hancur berdasarkan berita yang sampai kepadanya dari sebagian dukun, bahwa akan lahir dari Bani Israil seorang anak yang akan menjadi sebab hilangnya kerajaan Fir’aun. Ada pula yang berpendapat, bahwa sebab ia membunuh anak laki-laki dari kalangan Bani Israil adalah karena berita yang sampai kepadanya dari orang-orang Qibth (Mesir), di mana mereka mendengar cerita dari kaum Bani Isra’il yang mereka warisi dari Nabi Ibrahim ‘alaihissalam, bahwa akan keluar dari keturunannya seorang anak yang akan menggulingkan kekuasaan raja Mesir. Wallahu a’lam.

Yakni tergolong orang-orang yang tidak memiliki keinginan untuk mengadakan perbaikan terhadap keadaan agamanya dan dunianya.
