Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not upright.
In verse 40:29, it is said: “When the believer among Pharaoh’s people said: ‘O my people! Sovereignty in the land is yours today physically; but who will protect us from the punishment of Allah when it comes to us?’ Pharaoh replied: ‘I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of uprightness.’” Pharaoh, having rejected the Truth, faced punishment as detailed in verses 10:90-92.
Today, Arabic Quran-reading Fujjar falsely claim they are on the right path. They seek to increase their majority to gain governing power, rejecting the commands of verses 3:26-27. They ridicule believers as odd liars and hasten towards the emergence of the Antichrist and the Day of Judgment. These individuals, mentioned in verse 8:22, will face destruction by others after the second coming of Jesus. Only then will they acknowledge that Adhikr was the True Book from the Lord, as explained in verse 11:20. See explanation 7:146-147, 8:52, and 9:67-68.
