Then when they had thrown Moses said: “Whatever you have brought is only sorcery; indeed, Lord Allah will make it futile, indeed Allah doesn’t reform the deeds of mischief-makers.”
It is told in verses 20: 65-68: The sorcerers asked Moses: ‘Either you or we will be the first to throw’. Moses said: ‘Nay, you throw’, and suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed as moving with their sorcery. And Moses sensed fear in his soul. We told: ‘You don’t fear; indeed, it is you who are the superior’. Thus, when the sorcerers threw what they had, it bewitched the eyes and terrified the people. Then Lord inspired to Moses for putting down his staff. When it was put, it swallowed up whatever the sorcerers had trumped up as told in verses 7: 115-117. It is told in verses 26: 44-48: “So when the sorcerers threw their ropes and their staffs and said: ‘By the power of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are going to dominate’. Then Moses threw his staff, behold! at once it consumed whatever they forged. So, the sorcerers fell in prostration. They said: ‘We have believed in the Lord of all worlds, the Lord of Moses and Haroon”. Any deed without testifying Adhikr will be in futile as explained in2: 186; 7: 8-9; 18: 103-105 and 25: 23.
Today, the Arabic Qur’an reading Fujjar—hypocrites and Kuffar—are hiding and rejecting Adhikr—the Trust and Balance to keep the universe in its equilibrium. Thus, they become the mischief-makers and Mujirims as explained in verses 10: 17-18. Verses 7: 86 and 103 end asking: “How was the consequence of the mischief-makers”. See the explanations 2: 11-12; 7: 142; 169-170 and 47: 8-9.
