Translation

And Pharaoh tried to expel them from the land. Therefore, Pharaoh and his companions, all of them We drowned (in the sea).

Tafsir

Whoever defies Allah's laws, sees all these miracles, and still remains stubbornly arrogant, arrogant, ascribes partners to Allah and declares himself a god, Allah will punish such people both in this world and in the Hereafter. Because Allah is the owner of justice.

That is why Allah destroyed these people, Pharaoh and his soldiers, who tortured the Prophets and oppressed people. Pharaoh and his soldiers, who were pursuing Hazrat Moses and the people of Israel to destroy them, caught Hazrat Moses and the people of Israel near the Red Sea. When Pharaoh wanted to trap Hazrat Moses and the people of Israel by the sea and destroy them, Allah gave another miracle to Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm'. The Red Sea parted into two parts, and Hazrat Musa entered the parted path in the sea. Then Pharaoh and his soldiers also entered the path that was formed where the Red Sea split and separated, and Allah drowned and destroyed them all in the sea by combining the waters of this separated path. This is the fate of those who oppose Allah and His Messenger.

What is said in the video

Then Pharaoh wanted to drive them out of the land, so We drowned him and all those with him in the sea, it says. These nine miracles, and with every miracle, Pharaoh says to Moses: O Moses, you believed in your Lord. Lift these locusts off us. Tell your Lord to lift them. All right. Then again the claim to divinity. This time Allah Almighty sends them drought. O Moses, you believed in your Lord. To your Lord: lift this off us too. Then comes the matter of blood. (?) turn to blood. O Moses, did he believe in your Lord? So nine miracles one after another, but he keeps acting as Pharaoh, rebelling against Allah, and against his own tyranny raising the flag. In this situation Allah Almighty tells Moses to take his people and leave. He takes his people and leaves from there at night.

When he reaches the Red Sea, he again sees that Pharaoh with his army is about to catch up with them.

(?) from among the people, some reactions rain down on Moses. We believed in you, we followed you. Now this king has struck us, he will kill us all, they say, and then Allah Almighty has Moses strike the sea with his staff. The sea splits in two. Each tribe advances through its own passage. Right then, with his army, with his army, Pharaoh too plunges into the sea. Into that opened avenue, those roads, when they plunge in, when the sea closes over them, Pharaoh, about to drown, says: I believe in the Lord of Moses. And for Allah Almighty, of course, the doors of repentance are closed. Now, He says, you believe?

I will leave this lifeless body of yours as a lesson for the worlds, He says. Knowing the verses very well, yet out of their ego and pride, their arrogance, opposing Allah's verses, the non-Muslims, and first of all the English, search the Red Sea and on a rock, in a state of prostration, they find Pharaoh's body. In England, in London, in the (?) museum, it is put on display. They laid it not in prostration but on its side. Although people see so many miracles, they cannot step outside their destiny. Whatever covenant they gave, they live out that covenant.

We had wanted to (?) this part for you. When people ask Allah Almighty for a miracle, Allah Almighty shows that miracle to those people, and if people mock that miracle, Allah Almighty does not joke at all; He destroys that people. For example, they asked Salih for a camel to come out of a rock; when Salih showed the miracle, they did not believe and killed the camel. In the end they were destroyed and gone. Yes, though many miracles were seen, when they did not believe their prophets, Allah Almighty does not send those miracles to be mocked. He sends them so that people return to the truth, so that they attain salvation.

But if they keep mocking, if they keep disbelieving, He destroys them. To the people who come after, as an example of a lesson, He leaves them. So in this situation, in the face of so many events, Pharaoh too, when he does not return to the truth, Allah Almighty drowns him in the Red Sea.
