Lesson

It was described in the previous verses that the wizards, collected by Pharaoh, were defeated by Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), but even then, for inspiring with awe, he rebuked the wizards taking courage: If I am Pharaoh! Surely I will punish you very severely due to your revolt.                          

It is commanded in this verse that Pharaoh addressed the wizards: I will have cut off your hands of one side at first and then feet of your alternate side. And after that, I will crucify you surely. The wizards replied to Pharaoh: Certainly we will return unto our Lord. Every living being has to die. If the death comes by means of your hands, thus, we are ready. Your punishment will torment and be pitiable for a while. After that, when the soul is gone, then there is peace and tranquility. The death is certain for you also. But such peace and tranquility will not be for you.

Therefore, you should do that what you desire to do. We are totally innocent. You are going to be angry with us because we believed in our Lord after looking those open tokens, which He (God) has shown us through Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him). No fair individual can ignore except accepting the Truth after beholding. There is neither any reason of taking this matter ill nor you have any right to be angry on it. But if you have been ready to tyrannize us, you will suffer. We pray from the Omnipotent God: Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us steadfastness and patience, so that, this torment of sometime become easy for us. Our Lord! We have pleaded now that the doors of patience be opened upon us, so that, our steps should not stagger from Your Path, and we should leave this world accepting Your obedience and having belief that You are our Lord. Confusion should not occur in our Belief due to pain and ailment. And we should attend Your Court being Your obedient (make us die as men who have surrendered unto Thee).
