﴾1﴿ Taa-Seeen-Meeem
﴾2﴿ These are the verses of a Book that clearly distinguishes between truth and falsehood
﴾3﴿ We narrate to you some of the story of Moses (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh in truth, for a people who believe
﴾4﴿ Indeed, Pharaoh exhalted hemsilf in the land and divided its people into functions, oppressing one group among them. He would kill their sons and let their women alive in dishonor. Indeed, he was among the corruptors
Relevancy:
It has several connections with Surah An-Naml. The first is that in the previous Surah, the affirmation of monotheism was established with both textual and rational proofs, while in this Surah, there is consolation and encouragement for the Prophet and the believers in conveying this message, along with the glad tidings of success. The second is that in Surah Ash-Shu'ara and An-Naml, the story of Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) did not begin from the very start. However, in this Surah, it starts from the birth of Musa (peace be upon him). The third is that at the end of the previous Surah, Allah said, He will show you His signs. In this Surah, one of those signs, the destruction of Pharaoh, is mentioned.
Claim of this surah:
Consolation for the people of truth lies in the success that comes after enduring hardships in the call to monotheism. For this, the blessings upon the Children of Israel serve as an example, along with the punishment of their enemies, namely Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun. In this Surah, the affirmation of monotheism is established with rational arguments and through the refutation of three types of polytheism: polytheism in knowledge, in authority, and in supplication.
Summary of the surah:
This Surah is divided into three sections. The first section extends up to verse 44. In this section, there is encouragement toward the Qur'an, followed by the claim of the Surah, then a brief account of the story of Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) with the mention of five blessings upon the Children of Israel and the mention of blessings upon the Pharaohites along with six acts of oppression. Then, the story of Musa (peace be upon him) is detailed, which is divided into five stages.
[1] This is one of the disjointed letters, serving as a reminder of the miraculous nature of the Noble Qur'an.
[2] This is an encouragement toward the Noble Qur'an, and in the word "المبین" (clear), there is an indication that this Surah explains the events of Musa (peace be upon him).
[3] This is the claim of the Surah, meaning it offers consolation to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and to the believers. In the story of Musa (peace be upon him) and Pharaoh, there is benefit for the believers, consolation, and glad tidings. It conveys that arrogance, pride, and the accumulation of wealth and power cannot save one from punishment. Trials may befall the followers of truth, but Allah the Exalted grants them success.
[4] In this verse, six crimes of the Pharaohites are mentioned:
(عَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ) - Arrogance through claiming lordship and divinity. (شِيَعًا) - Dividing people into factions, fostering prejudice and enmity among them, granting privilege and power to some while exploiting others for service. (يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ) - This includes both instances: the killing of sons mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:49) and Surah Al-A'raf (7:127). (الْمُفْسِدِينَ) - Corruption, which in this context refers to promoting and supporting disbelief and polytheism, while preventing people from monotheism and obedience to Musa (peace be upon him).
