Sura 40
Aya 29
29
يا قَومِ لَكُمُ المُلكُ اليَومَ ظاهِرينَ فِي الأَرضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنا مِن بَأسِ اللَّهِ إِن جاءَنا ۚ قالَ فِرعَونُ ما أُريكُم إِلّا ما أَرىٰ وَما أَهديكُم إِلّا سَبيلَ الرَّشادِ

Yusuf Ali

“O my People! Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand1 in the land: but who will help us from the Punishment of God, should it befall us?” Pharaoh said: “I but point out to you that which I see (myself);2 Nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!”
  • 'Do not be puffed up with arrogance because the power is in your hands at present! Do you deserve it? Will it last? If you are sinning and drawing upon yourselves God’s Punishment, is there anything that can shield you from it?'
  • Pharaoh’s egotism and arrogance come out. 'I can see and understand everything. As I see things, so do I direct you. The Path which I see must be right, and you must follow it.'
