Allah said,
[اذْهَبْ إِلَى
فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى ]
(Go to Fir`awn! Verily, he has transgressed.) This means, "Go to Fir`awn, the
king of Egypt, whom you left Egypt fleeing from, and invite him to the worship
of Allah alone, Who has no partners. Command him to treat the Children of Israel
well and to not torment them. For verily, he has transgressed, oppressed,
preferred the worldly life and forgotten the Most High Lord.''
