it, if thou art of those who speak the truth.

Commentary
Pharaoh used to trust in his power very
much. To remove his mania, Prophet Moses was given such miracles, due to which,
Glory, Dignity and Greatness of Omnipotent and Subduer God was reflected.
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) said in His first Message: O Pharaoh! I have
such Tokens, beholding which, you would have to accept yourself helpless and
incapable before Most Potent and Superior, Allah.
Pharaoh
had apparent powers. Entire wealth of his country was under his possession. The
people used to worship and obey him without thinking. Production was in
abundance in the country. There were rivers and canals for irrigation.
Observing all these things under his control, Pharaoh was unable to understand:
Can any other be more powerful than me?
Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) said to him: Allah Almighty is more Powerful than
you, Who is Lord of the entire Worlds. Pharaoh said: OK! Have you any token of
your God? If you have, produce it also before us. We want to see, which token
you have?
It is
commanded that Pharaoh said after hearing talks of Prophet Moses (peace be upon
Him): If you have really any such token, show us, so that we may know about
your truth or a lie. Allah Almighty had told this way already to Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him), He flung down the Staff of His hand without any
hesitation. As soon as the staff fell down, it became a big serpent at once and
began to hiss and spring towards the people.
It is written that the serpent sprang
unto the Pharaoh before the eyes, and on the other side, Prophet Moses (peace
be upon Him) put his hand beneath his bosom and drew forth. It began to shine
like a sun. Even that the eyes of Pharaoh and other people were in the state of
being dazzled and their eyes remained fixedly open. Thither, the serpent has
been coming duly springing and hissing. And hither shining of the hand of
Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) is going to close their eyes.
