Commentary
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him)
said to the wizards: You should throw first that, what you want to throw. The
wizards put their many bamboos, long poles, wooden pieces and ropes on the
earth and spread them. After a while, the people, standing there, began to see
all those things like snakes and serpents.
As it has been mentioned in
this Surah, it is commanded that the wizards dropped those things
on the earth which they brought with them and then they cast a spell upon the
eyes of the people (practiced such incantation on their eyes) that those all
things were being seen by them like running snakes and serpents. The people
began to tremble due to fear.
In fact, it was a big charm of
magic, which cannot be shown to the people without too much practice of fixing
mind, with which thoughts of others may be impressed by own thoughts. But these
entire were deceptions of human thought. Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) did
not have any kind of these imaginations.
It was manifestation of the endless
power and omnipotence of - the Creator of all things, Who appropriates them as
He desires and Glorious Owner, but Higher than the human intellect, idea or
imagination, due to which, the Staff of Moses (peace be upon Him) used to
become real serpent. There, wings of human perception were on fire. Therefore,
it is commanded: We inspired in the heart of Moses (peace be upon Him) that He
should throw His Staff on the earth.
As soon as Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) threw His staff on the earth, then it was a big
serpent and it began to swallow the bamboos, poles, wooden pieces and ropes of
the wizards. The field was clear from these things in a very short duration.
Tricks of magic had been disappeared. The game prepared by the wizards got out
of their order. Heads of all people bent due to shame, fear and confusion.
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) won the competition and the wizards were
defeated very badly. Pharaoh and his chieftains were so disgraced that they
were not able to show their faces anywhere.
