The Allegation that the Prophet Moses (as)
Endangers the People’s Safety and Peace
One of Pharaoh's tactics was to depict, with his own
base mentality, the Prophets Moses (as) and Aaron (as) as a
serious danger to Egypt and its people at every opportunity.
With these unfounded slanders, he sought to provoke the
people against the Prophet Moses (as). He even accused him
of trying to “drive the people out of their land.” Allah informs
us of the Pharaoh's speech:
He said to the High Council round about him: “This cer-
tainly is a skilled magician who desires by his magic to
expel you from your land. So, what do you recom-
mend?” (Surat ash- Shu‘ara’, 34-35)
Allah reveals in another verse that Pharaoh accused the
Prophet Moses (as) and his followers of conspiring to expel
the people from their country:
Pharaoh said: “Have you believed in him before I autho-
rized you to do so? This is just some plot you have con-
cocted in the city to drive its people from it.” (Surat al-
A‘raf, 123)
It is evident that Pharaoh tried to depict the Prophet
Moses (as) and his followers as traitors whom the Egyptians
must oppose. As Almighty Allah promised, Pharaoh’s plot
came to nothing, just like all plots directed against believers
come to naught:
So Allah protected him from the evil things they plotted,
and a most evil torment engulfed Pharaoh’s people.
(Surah Ghafir, 45)
