He said: the Lord\nof heavens and earth and what is in between, for He is the Creator for\nthem and for what is in between and He is the Maker, then the pharaoh turned\naround him looking at the people showing signs of surprise and saying:\ndo you hear? While Moses kept saying: your Lord and the Lord of your fathers\nas well, meaning He is the ancient God before the foundation of the pharaoh\nand before he becomes worshipped by his folks, so then the pharaoh said\nto his folks: the prophet that was sent to you is insane for he is saying\nthings that we never heard before nor we do believe in, and Moses kept\non saying: the Lord of the east and west and whatever in between them if\nyou are someone to understand. When Moses and Aaron knew that the pharaoh\nwas a stubborn man and careless about Moses and his message and he (the\npharaoh) will disbelieve them for sure, they said to him: we've been inspired\nthat the punishment shall be revealed upon him who lies, so he said to\nthem: who is your Lord O Moses? He answered: He is the One that counted\neverything He had created, for He is the One that gave you the senses and\nthe mind and created for you everything on earth and made you viceroys\nand rulers after rulers and guided you to use everything you meet for your\nown benefits, then the pharaoh started to ask questions while Moses answering\nthem one after another, so he asked him about the early centuries and said\nto him: what about the early centuries? So Moses denoted that only God\nknows by saying: their knowledgement is in the hand of my Lord in a book\nthat my Lord shall never forget nor astray about it, and He will judge\nevery human being about his deeds, and then Moses made the gifts of God\nthat he was ignoring clear to him by saying: Who hath appointed the earth\nas a bed and hath threaded roads for you therein and hath sent down water\nfrom the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation(TaHa:53),\nand made it easy for the human being to find what he eats and for his cattles\nwhat they graze upon, and the One who did such deeds, His deeds must be\nsigns that guide someone with a thoughtful mind, and earth is our source\nand to it we shall be back again and from it we will be produced again\nto be asked for what we did, so God said: Thereof We created you, and thereunto\nWe return you, and thence We bring you forth a second time(TaHa:55).\nNext: The Ash`abite Imaginations of The Pharaoh","title":"The Prophets, Their Lives and Their Stories: Moses: The Miracles of Moses and The Ash`abite Psychology of The Pharaoh","type":"page"}
