Translation

So, go to him and tell him; “We are Messengers of your Lord. Send the Children of Israel with us. Do not torture them. Verily, we brought to you a verse/sign from your Lord. Salvation is for those who follow guidance.”

Tafsir

Allah (swt) gives His clear and definite command to Hazrat Musa (as). The fact that he said, "Go to him" means that Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' no longer had anything to say to Allah about Pharaoh.

(saying, "We are messengers of your Lord"), and that Pharaoh was created by Allah and that he was a servant.

It is also the release of the Children of Israel and a declaration not to persecute them. Pharaoh used to use the Children of Israel living in Egypt for the hardest labor, killing their sons and leaving their daughters alive. He used to torment the Children of Israel greatly. Pharaoh is warned and asked to desist from this persecution.

When Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' says: "We have brought you a Sign from your Lord", it means that if you do not believe in us, we will show you a miracle from Allah. If you believe in us and confirm our Prophethood, recognize our Lord, the Creator of the worlds, as Allah, believe in the Hereafter and follow guidance, you will be saved. Hadrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' says: "For salvation is for those who are guided.

What is said in the video

Surah Ta-Ha, verse 47. So go to him and say. That is, when Allah Almighty appeared to Moses (peace be upon him) in the desert of Tih in the form of a fire and said, "O Moses, I am your Lord", He tells Moses there to fulfil his prophethood, that is, his duty, to fulfil it, and He says: come now, you go to that, go to Pharaoh, and say to him, say. Before reading on, let me say this. Moses (peace be upon him) makes many requests of Allah Almighty. He asks that his brother Aaron also be given to him as a helper. So, after Allah Almighty has fulfilled everything he said, He says "go". Go and say: we are messengers from your Lord.

How beautifully He puts it. We are messengers from your Lord. Yes. That is, He does not say "we are messengers of our Lord". Look. "Messengers of our Lord"? "You are the messenger of your own Lord. I wait for the messenger of my Lord." Or he would say: I too am a lord. But look at the beauty of the wording in the verse. What does it say? Say: we are the messengers of your Lord. Send the Children of Israel with us at once. Do not torment them. We have brought you a sign from your Lord. Salvation belongs to those who follow guidance. That is, whoever carries out Allah's command joins the ranks of those who attain salvation.

Because Allah, the Owner of the worlds, created us close to His Being, left us free in our own will, and our desires and wishes, our aims, He wrote for us as our destiny. So, to the lost world, to this world where His Being is not seen, He brought us, clothed us in flesh and bone, and outwardly as Ahmet, Mehmet He gave us an appearance. So, since this world will end anyway, when we migrate to the true world, that is, the hereafter, then there, with the bliss of eternal life, so as not to seek the Hell where eternal oppression is, if we carry out Allah's commands we will have reached salvation and guidance. Yes.

Allah Almighty to Moses (peace be upon him) makes His definite and clear command known. His saying "go to him" shows that Moses (peace be upon him) no longer had any word left to say to Allah Almighty about Pharaoh. That is, whatever Moses asked for, He gave him. "We," he said, "left there, you know, as guilty ones." "Us," he said, "(?) who kills"; Allah said, "I am with you, do not fear." "Here, I will show you My signs," He said, that is, "I will give you My miracles." "My tongue lisps, (?) give me Aaron, loosen the lisp from my tongue," he said. Whatever he asked for, Allah Almighty fulfilled.

When Moses had no word left to ask of Allah Almighty, then He says: go now. Say to him: we are messengers of your, of your Lord. Yes.

It shows that he had no word left to say about Pharaoh. Convey the truth to Pharaoh. Saying "we are messengers of your Lord" declares that Pharaoh was created by Allah and that he too is a servant. It also declares that the Children of Israel are to be set free and not tormented. Pharaoh used the Children of Israel living in Egypt for the hardest work and killed their male children and let their daughters live. He inflicted great torment on the Children of Israel. To remove this torment, Pharaoh is to be warned and to give up this torment; that is what is asked.

The worst jobs, some filthy jobs like sewer work, he gave to the Children of Israel, and for this hard labour only an amount to just get by on, or just to fill one's stomach, he paid them. Yes. Moses (peace be upon him) saying "we have brought you a sign from your Lord" means: if you do not believe us, we will show you a miracle from Allah. If you believe us and confirm our prophethood, recognise our Lord who created the worlds as Allah, believe in the hereafter and attain guidance, you will be saved. Moses (peace be upon him) says: for salvation belongs to those who attain guidance. Yes.

Here a statement like this comes up. Do not misunderstand this. Allah Almighty — if you recognise our Lord as Allah, believe in the hereafter and attain guidance, you will be saved. It's the verse. It says it. We say: Moses (peace be upon him) says, for salvation belongs to those who attain guidance. Yet it is Allah Almighty who says this. Isn't it? Yet Moses tells this to Pharaoh as a verse anyway; he says it. Moses, too, tells Pharaoh what Allah Almighty said. If I told you the same thing, saying salvation belongs to the one who carries out Allah's command, however much it is I who say it, it is still a verse.

Yes.
