Quran describes the confrontation between the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh, the tyrannical ruler of Egypt who oppressed the Children of Israel. In this scene, Pharaoh tries to persuade his people to reject the message of Moses and follow him instead, claiming to be a trustworthy advisor. However, Moses refutes Pharaoh's arguments, reminding the people to follow the guidance of Allah and His messengers, and warning against blindly following human leaders who may lead people astray.
Quran 10:51-52:
Translation: "And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, 'O my people, do not obey the messenger of Allah. Rather, follow me, who is a trustworthy adviser. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption in the land.'"
"But Moses said, 'O my people, have you believed in Allah while He has appointed me as a witness over you despite my knowledge? And do you not consider that Pharaoh will not be given the punishment of those who disbelieved?'"
Explanation: These verses describe the confrontation between the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh, the tyrannical ruler of Egypt who oppressed the Children of Israel. In this scene, Pharaoh tries to persuade his people to reject the message of Moses and follow him instead, claiming to be a trustworthy advisor. He warns them that Moses may cause corruption in the land or change their religion.
However, Moses refutes Pharaoh's arguments, reminding the people that he has been appointed as a witness over them by Allah, despite his own knowledge and shortcomings. He also points out that Pharaoh will face punishment for his disbelief and oppression of the Children of Israel. These verses highlight the importance of following the guidance of Allah and His messengers, even in the face of opposition and persecution, and warn against blindly following the words of human leaders who may lead people astray.
