Surah Al-Isra 17:102



ﲭ ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

قال لقد علمت ما أنزل هوﻻء إﻻ رب السماوات واﻻرض بصاير

He said: "Verily, you know that these signs have been sent down by none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth. meaning, as proof and evidence of the truth of what I have brought to you.

وإني ﻻإظنك يا فرعون مثبورا

And I think you are indeed, O Fir`awn, doomed to destruction! i.e., bound to be destroyed. This was the view of Mujahid and Qatadah. Ibn Abbas said: "It means cursed.'' Ibn Abbas and Ad-Dahhak said:

مثبورا

(doomed to destruction), means defeated. As Mujahid said, "doomed'' includes all of these meanings. The Destruction of Fir`awn and His People Allah tells:

فٲراد أن يستفزهم من اﻻرض

So he resolved to turn them out of the land. means, he wanted to expel them and drive them out.

فٲغرقناه ومن معه جميعا
