and place for the confrontation:
He said, "Have you come to us to expel us from our land by means
of your magic, Moses? We will bring you magic to match it. So fix a
time between us and you which neither we nor you will fail to keep
at a place where we can meet halfway."
He (Moses) said, "Your time is the day of the festival. The people
should gather in the morning." (Surah Ta-Ha: 57-59)
The Prophet Moses (pbuh) chose "the day of the festival" so that all the
people could witness the encounter. There was a superior wisdom in this
choice. In this way, all the people would hear the message of the Prophet
Moses (pbuh) and witness the defeat of Pharaoh and his magicians.
Pharaoh accepted the appointed time. The related verses read:
So Pharaoh went away and concocted his scheme and then he ar-
rived.
Moses said to them, "Woe to you! Do not fabricate lies against Allah
or He will annihilate you with His punishment. Fabricators of lies
are bound to fail."
They argued among themselves about the matter and had a secret
conference.
They said, "These two magicians desire by their magic to expel you
from your land and abolish your most excellent way of life, so de-
cide on your scheme and then arrive together in force. He who
gains the upper hand today will definitely prosper." (Surah Ta-Ha:
60-64)

Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and
fair admonition, and argue with them in the kindest

way. Your Lord knows best who is misguided from
His way. And He knows best who are guided.
(Surat an-Nahl: 125)
