Surah 26 The Poets v45-51
Session 7
Witchcraft
Prophet Musa (A.S.) met the leader of the magicians and said to him, if I defeat you, will you believe in me and bear witness that what we brought is the truth?
The magician said, tomorrow, I will be able to produce a type of magic that cannot be defeated by another magic. By Allah! If you defeat me, I will believe in you and testify to your truth.
When the magicians realised that Moosa (A.S.) was not demonstrating magic, they cast into prostration saying, We believe in the Rabb of Haaroon and Moosa.'" The verse does not say that they fell into prostration, but says that they were "cast intoprostration." This denotes that they were helpless in the matter and were forced to prostrate by the truth of what they saw. They even forgot the tyranny of Firawn at that moment.
The propitious end of Asiyah (raa)
The Pharaoh's wife
While the contest between vice and virtue was in progress, the Pharaoh's wife kept herself informed of the minute to minute developments and when she learned that Musa (A.S.) had emerged victorious, she at once declared her adherence to the True Faith.
When the Pharaoh was informed of his wife's defection, he ordered that a huge rock be thrown upon her. When Asiyah saw the rock coming, she raised her eyes in supplication to Allah SWT who took away her soul so that the rock fell on her lifeless body (Qurtobi).
The first to crucify was Firawn.
