#316 Podcast Al Quran Juz 19 QS 26 As Shu'ara 34-51

[Quran Chapter 26] 34. He said to the dignitaries around him, "This is a skilled magician. 35. He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?" 36. They said, "Delay him and his brother, and send recruiters to the cities. 37. To bring you every experienced magician." 38. So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day. 39. And it was said to the people, "Are you all gathered? 40. That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners." 41. When the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there a reward for us, if we are the winners?" 42. He said, "Yes, and you will be among those favored." 43. Moses said to them, "Present what you intend to present." 44. So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said, "By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the winners." 45. Then Moses threw his staff, and behold, it began swallowing their trickery. 46. And the magicians fell down prostrating. 47. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the Worlds. 48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron." 49. He said, "Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon know. I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all." 50. They said, "No problem. To our Lord we will return. 51. We are eager for our Lord to forgive us our sins, since we are the first of the believers."
