Overall meaning : Almighty Allah states that He sent Moses with manifest signs, conclusive proofs and stunning miracles proving his honesty and the truthfulness of his prophethood, to Pharaoh and his chiefs and followers, but they followed Pharaoh’s command and ways, preferring unbelief to faith which Moses had brought them. Indeed, Pharaoh’s command was by no means wise, nor did his ways produce any good outcome. He will head his people on the Day of Judgement and lead them into the Fire. Evil and terrible indeed will be the place to which they will be led! Just as he was their example in error and unbelief in this life, so, too, he will be their example in the Fire. In addition to the punishment Allah inflicted on them, He cursed them by excluding them from His grace and mercy in this world and will also exclude them from His grace in the next world. Terrible indeed will be the combined punishment and curse in this life and in the hereafter!
