Decision of the wizards


Chapter TAA-HAA – 20

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

    فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُمبَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ 62

 قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ 63

 فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ 64

62.  Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret.

63.  They said: Lo! These are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions;

64.  So arrange your plan, then come in battle line. And whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful.
62.  Fatanaaza-‘uu  ‘amrahum-  baynahum  wa  ‘asarrun-najwaa.

63.  Qaaluuu  ‘in  haazaani  la-saahiraani  yuriidaani  ‘any-yukh-rijaakum  -min  ‘arzikum-  bi-sihrihimaa  wa  yaz-habaa  bi-tariiqati-kumul-muslaa.

64.  Fa-‘ajmi-‘uu  kaydakum  summa’-tuu  safaa.  Wa  qad  ‘afla-hal-yawma  manista’-laa.
        
Commentary

‘In – (Lo, in fact, authentically), here; this word is abbreviation of ‘inna.

‘Al-muslaa – it is feminine of ‘amsala, which has come out from the word misl. Misl means “an example, a pattern, a specimen”. ‘Amsalu and muslaa means “the thing which can be “a sample”, that is to say “the best”.

After hearing the advice from Moses (peace be upon him), the people of Pharaoh began to oppose one another. Some people said: he is a wizard, others said: wizards cannot be like him. After all, they consulted privately, were compelled to admit the opinion of Pharaoh and decided that “certainly they {Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them)} are wizards. And they wish to become king after driving you out. And they desire to establish their new plan after removing your way of life, which is best of all. The only opportunity which you have, is that you should arrange at your own, collect entire juggleries, tricks and devices, and assault altogether against him (peace be upon him). Today’s fight is very severe. He will prosper who will overcome.

It seems that the wizards obeyed the command of Pharaoh, but heartily they understood that “He (peace be upon him) was not a sorcerer but a Man of very high grade. And that is true whatsoever he says. There is speciousness in his sayings”.
