Commentary
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) said to the wizards: You
should throw first that, what you want to throw. The wizards put their many
bamboos, long poles, wooden pieces and ropes on the earth and spread them.
After a while, the people, standing there, began to see all those things like
snakes and serpents.
As it has been mentioned in this Surah, it is
commanded that the wizards dropped those things on the earth which they brought
with them and then they cast a spell upon the eyes of the people (practiced
such incantation on their eyes) that those all things were being seen by them
like running snakes and serpents. The people began to tremble due to fear.
In fact, it was a big charm of magic, which cannot be shown
to the people without too much practice of fixing mind, with which thoughts of
others may be impressed by own thoughts. But these entire were deceptions of
human thought. Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) did not have any kind of these
imaginations.
It was manifestation of the endless power and omnipotence of
- the Creator of all things, Who appropriates them as He desires and Glorious
Owner, but Higher than the human intellect, idea or imagination, due to which,
the Staff of Moses (peace be upon Him) used to become real serpent. There,
wings of human perception were on fire. Therefore, it is commanded: We inspired
in the heart of Moses (peace be upon Him) that He should throw His Staff on the
earth.
As soon as
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) threw His staff on the earth, then it was a
big serpent and it began to swallow the bamboos, poles, wooden pieces and ropes
of the wizards. The field was clear from these things in a very short duration.
Tricks of magic had been disappeared. The game prepared by the wizards got out
of their order. Heads of all people bent due to shame, fear and confusion. Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) won the competition and the wizards were defeated
very badly. Pharaoh and his chieftains were so disgraced that they were not
able to show their faces anywhere.
