Friday Night Faith Circles Episode 45 - Reflections on Surah Taha | Verses 42-49

Pharoah is one of the greatest tyrants of all time - he oppressed thousands and thousands under his control and eventually inflated his ego to the point where he declared, "I am your god, the most high!" His transgressions against God and humanity reached such limits that Allah gave Musa and Harun (peace be upon them) the mission to go and speak to him. When someone is clearly in the wrong, and they wrong others while they're at it, the last thing we think about is to make sure we speak to them with etiquette, care, and compassion when we address their mistakes/aggressions. Normally, our goal is to show them they're wrong and to end the harm that they're doing; our etiquette is an afterthought (if a thought at all). The way that Allah instructed Musa to speak to Pharoah may surprise us.
