A Man of Faith in the Palace Despite the miracles Allah granted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), Pharaoh and his inner circle resisted the Prophet Moses (pbuh). They insisted on denying the truth, due to their arrogance and obstinacy, and went to such lengths as to say the lie that the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was a magician who performed a spell. Furthermore, they devised new plans to subject the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and his adherents to more severe torture and oppression. Surely this was a consequence of their failure to exercise their intelligence. They were unable to grasp that Allah would never let something happen against His sincere servants and that they were defeated from the very first beginning. Allah relates the traps set by these people in question as follows: We sent Moses with Our Signs and clear authority to Pharaoh, Haman and Karun. But they said, A lying magician. When he brought them the truth from Us they said, Slaughter the sons of those who have faith with him but let their women live. The stratagems of the unbelievers are nothing but errors. Pharaoh said, Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord! I am afraid that he may change your religion and bring about corruption in the land. Moses said, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every proud man who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning. (Surah Ghafir: 23-27)
