Sura 11
Aya 97
97
إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاتَّبَعوا أَمرَ فِرعَونَ ۖ وَما أَمرُ فِرعَونَ بِرَشيدٍ

Yusuf Ali

Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs: but they followed the Command1 of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was no right (guide).
  • Pharaoh is the type of the arrogant, selfish, and false leader, who poses as a power in rivalry with that of God. Such an attitude seems to attract unregenerate humanity, which falls a willing victim, in spite of the teaching and warning given by the Prophets of God and the many moral and spiritual forces that beckon man towards God’s Grace.
