Translation

After them, We have sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his people with Our miracles. But they showed arrogance and became sinful people.

Tafsir

Then Allah sent Moses and his brother Aaron to Pharaoh and his people with miracles. They became arrogant and proud against Moses and Allah and disbelieved in Allah, just like their predecessors.

Pharaoh even went further and declared himself to be a God. Allah sends Prophets to such transgressing peoples so that they may not say, "We did not hear you, you did not make us acquainted with Allah". If a person has disbelieved in Allah in the past, if he has written his destiny and his covenant in such a way that he has disbelieved in Allah, if he does not recognize Allah and His Messenger, if he does not believe that the resurrection after death is true, and if such people have had their hearts sealed by Allah (swt) in the past, then no one can guide such people.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah Yunus, verse 75. "Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron with Our miracles to Pharaoh and his people. We sent Moses and Aaron with Our miracles. But they were arrogant and became a sinful people." Yes. This part, if we set out to explain it, days, days would not be enough. Truly not. Days would not be enough.

Gathering it briefly in sentences won't fit either. We will fit it into short sentences as much as we can. "Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron with Our miracles to Pharaoh and his people," He says. "Indeed they were arrogant and became a sinful people." Pharaoh's henchmen and Pharaoh were arrogant. Before this, the people of the Children of Israel are worked like slaves in Egypt.

The worst jobs, the heaviest jobs in Egypt are given to them. And with very little, a meagre amount to support themselves, there like slaves they work. Against this injustice among people, this injustice, this wrong, and against Pharaoh declaring himself a god, Allah Almighty Moses together with his brother as prophets to Pharaoh, to send them, gives them the task of messengership. To Moses and Aaron. Well.

Before that, Moses killing a man, by mistake, going from there to Midian. Among the people of Midian, there, the one who earlier had served as prophet, Prophet Shuayb (?). Serving him as long as he stayed, marrying, again on his way back to Egypt seeing a fire at night, approaching that fire, and finally Allah Almighty saying to him, "I am the Lord," and giving him the messengership. We have gathered this part into this many sentences. Well, since Pharaoh claimed to be God, to be divine, He commands him to convey the truth to him, and upon Moses saying, "My tongue lisps, give me Aaron, my brother, as a helper too," He gives him to him as a helper too, and they are tasked, to Pharaoh's henchmen and to Pharaoh, with conveying the truth.

Now, after gathering this much, we (?) this part. Then Allah Almighty sent Moses and his brother Aaron to Pharaoh and his people with miracles. This people too, being arrogant like the earlier ones, toward Moses and toward Allah behaved haughtily and denied Allah. Nine miracles go there, and at every miracle he showed, well, "This is the chief of sorcerers," they say. "Magic," they say. Pharaoh even went further and declared himself a god. So that these oppressive peoples do not say, "We did not hear, You did not make Your Self known to us," Allah sends prophets to such transgressing peoples. Now, how beautifully, in the previous verse, we now bring the deficiency out into the open.

What does it say? In the previous verse: "The hearts of the transgressing peoples We seal." "We seal." Yet he had transgressed. He went as far as claiming divinity. He went as far as claiming divinity. He appointed himself a god. He made people prostrate before him. Still, Allah Almighty says, "Go and tell him." In that case, if he has transgressed, seal his heart at once. Allah Almighty, without sending those people a messenger, and according to the verse "We hold no one accountable for (?) We have not made heard," how beautifully He sends them messengers. But if he still turns his back on these warnings, then he goes as one of the disbelievers, and since their hearts are sealed, they cannot return.

Or because he had his heart sealed by his own will, they cannot return to the truth. Pharaoh even went further and declared himself a god. So that these oppressive peoples do not say, "We did not hear, You did not make Your Self known to us," Allah sends prophets to such transgressing peoples.

Once a person has denied Allah at the beginning, if he had his destiny and covenant written so as to deny Allah, if there is not recognizing Allah and His Messenger, if he does not believe that resurrection after death is true, if such people at the beginning had their hearts sealed toward Allah Almighty, then no one can bring these peoples to the right path.
