Quran 26:34 · Ash-Shu'ara

Maulana’s commentary · Tazkirul Quran

Moses’s mission was totally peaceful and it had no direct relation with politics or government. But, just in order to incite his people against Moses, Pharaoh said that he (Moses) wanted to oust them from their country. Pharaoh’s insincerity is clear from the very fact that Moses had already asked Pharaoh to allow him to take his community out of Egypt along with him. But Pharaoh twisted Moses’ words and said that the latter wanted to oust him and his community from Egypt.
