Pharaoh Finally Snapped - Story Night- Pharaoh Shall Drown

This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.

Let me kill Musa myself.

The time when they said kill Musa, he said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The time when they said, just kill the children, he said, no, no, no, no.

I'll kill Musa because he wants to show them his boss.

Let me kill Musa myself.

And I found out you guys have been negotiating with Musa, telling him to pray to his God.

Oh, yeah.

Let me kill Musa myself.

Let him call his God.

I'm starting to worry that he's going to change your religion.

He's not talking to the public.

Who's he talking to?

The generals.

He's about to convert you guys.

This is crazy.

I have to kill him.

You know, we learn in the Quran that

Pharaoh did love Musa alayhi salam.

But now a time came where he had to choose between his love of Musa and his love of power.

And he made a very quick choice.

You

why did you want to kill children?

What does he get from that?

It's a psychological war.

Somebody might be willing to lose their life.

but they're much less willing to lose their child.

If he can break these people's spirit,

the easiest way to do it is to ruin their families,

paralyze them emotionally,

then they'll not be motivated to do anything.

They'll fall into a dark place,

they'll be depressed for generations,

so he'll crush their spirit

because he recognizes that the more important thing

is not their physical bodies,

it's their mental state,

it's their emotional state,

it's their spiritual state,

and he can destroy that by attacking children.

It's actually psychological torture

on top of just the crime against humanity.

That's what he's trying to do.

That's a sick tactic of war.

A young man asked me,

you think Allah put this in the Quran

because people will use it again?

I said, what do you think?

Why would Allah go into so much detail

about this one guy,

if it owns 67 times in the Quran?

This guy by name?

70, okay.

By name, why?

Something about him.

Something about his tactics.

Something about his psychosis.

Something about the way he ran his government

is going to happen over and over again.

There's going to be a fitah on everywhere.

Sometimes there's even a fitah on inside a business.

There's a fitah on inside a classroom.

There's a fitah on inside a school.

There's a fitah on among friends.

Yes, of course, in government.

But another place is too.

You could have a two bedroom apartment

and be a fitah on on your two bedroom apartment.

It's possible.

We'll see that in a little bit.

But let's get back to our story.

Egypt is paralyzed.

Do you remember the speech of the politicians,

the generals?

They said, whatever you do,

we're never going to listen to you.

Remember that?

When the society was on its knees,

it fell apart on its knees.

When that hit them,

a ridge means when an animal can't stand anymore.

When Egypt collapsed.

Kaluya Musa.

These same generals came to Musa and said,

hey, Musa.

Udrulan, Arabic,

could you call your God for us?

Udrulan, Arabic,

could you call your God for us?

Because your God has made a promise to you.

If he removes these difficulties from us,

we will accept what you're saying.

We swear to you.

We swear.

We swear.

We will accept what you're saying.

We will accept what you're saying.

We will accept what you're saying.

We swear to you.

We swear.

We will accept what you're saying.

Just get rid of these disasters.

Get rid of the storms.

Get rid of the locust.

Get rid of the lice.

Get rid of the frogs.

Get rid of the blood.

Just get rid of this stuff.

Please, it's been years.

Get rid of this.

We will let you go.

We will let the Israelites go.

We are ready to listen to you.

What happened to your speech, boo?

You just gave this whole speech no matter what you do.

We shall never listen to you.

They're like, please call your God.

We're ready to listen.

The generals came.

Farahun didn't come.

The generals came.

The generals are negotiating with Musa behind Farahun's back.

Behind his back.

They're not even telling Farahun.

And Musa Ali said,

you know, Allah says something here that's so unique.

It's so unique.

Allah says when all of these signs came

that basically humble Egypt,

how did the leadership respond?

Allah says,

they were arrogant and were criminal.

But now we're reading they were arrogant and criminal.

But then they came to Musa and said, please pray to your God.

That doesn't sound like arrogance.

That sounds like humility, right?

So how come Allah said they were arrogant?

And then he says they were acting humbly.

This seems like a contradiction.

Right in the previous ayah, Allah said they became arrogant.

We're going to learn in the Quran there are two kinds of arrogance.

Democratic and Republican.

Let me tell you something.

There's an arrogance where somebody comes to you and says,

I don't like you.

I think you're less than me.

I think I'm better than you.

And I will do everything I can to destroy you and your people.

Open arrogance.

There's someone else who has a knife in one hand

and a handshake in the other hand.

How are you?

Really nice to meet you.

Love what you've done with the place.

I really think you're religion's so interesting.

Really great.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you for inviting me.

And they still have a knife in the other hand.

You get it?

When these signs came,

let's understand it from the politician's perspective,

from the general's perspective.

If I'm one of those generals, I'm thinking,

man, this guy, Musa and his God are for real.

He's not going to stop until we give him what he wants.

At least let's pretend to give him what he wants.

Then this stuff will stop

and then we'll go back on our deal.

At least have a ceasefire negotiation.

We're not going to do it.

But at least it'll look like we did it.

And then we will get our end

and we won't have to fulfill his end.

So they come to Musa with a lot of pretend humility

and say, pray to your God.

Whatever he can do to give us relief from these disasters.

In other words, Allah is teaching us

it may look like humility,

but it's still arrogance.

It's still arrogance.

It's different kinds of arrogance.

Right?

And so, now,

whenever the disaster would stop

and the moment disaster stops,

Allah did his part of the deal.

Now it's time for you to let the Muslims go.

They would say, where do you think you're going?

You think you just leave like that?

Get back in your cell.

Get back in the cages.

Get back in the containment area.

Your slaves, don't forget your place.

They would go back on the deal.

And this kept going on for years.

But they know, they know now,

that they're also scared of Musa.

Because they know that the God of Musa

brings very heavy disasters and is breaking Egypt.

They needed something more to try to weaken Musa.

They need something to weaken Musa.

Imagine, Musa is the leader of a Muslim community

that is actually living like slaves.

But they're scared of him

and they need to find a way of making him weaker.

Guess what their way of making him weaker was.

We need to get some people inside the Muslim community

that work for us.

Because they recognize the enemy as the outside

or the Egyptian.

We need some people from inside the Muslim community.

We said,

Allah says that Allah sent Muslims to Pharaoh.

And they said,

Karoon. Karoon is not Egyptian. Karoon was part of the Muslim community. He was from

the Israelites. And they all said he's a magician, he's just lying. He probably learned

this magic, but he's not telling us the truth about where he got this magic from.

So even inside the Muslim community, there's someone who's trying to create a campaign

against Musa alaihi salam. Of course, Allah is teaching us that because there will never

be any other Karoon in the Ummah ever that works for the enemy of Islam and tries to create

division inside of Islam. Alhamdulillah, we've never had that problem anywhere in the

Ummah. So now, this time, when all the signs have happened, now what's happened? The stick

turned into a snake, the hand turned white, the economic disaster, the rain dried up, the

storm came, the blood came, the frogs came, the locust came, the lies came. Oh my God,

that's a lot. And this happened for years, for years. And they try to negotiate too. And

those negotiations are meaning they're humbled. They themselves are humbled. Now they hold

another emergency meeting. Let's check out this meeting. When I'm a jahum al-Hakkum in

Adina, Kalu. Oktulu, Abna'a, alladina, Amanu, Ma'ahu, Astaghiyunisah, I think we should

try again. Let's kill the children who believe, children of those who believe with him. Listen

carefully. Let's kill the children of those who believe with him. This is different from

last time. Last time, there were two differences. Last time, they said, let's kill Musa. This

time, they didn't say, let's kill Musa. Because they're actually scared of Musa too now. The

generals used to be the one saying, let's kill Musa. And if they're almost saying, no,

no, no, no, let's just kill the kids. This time, the generals, because they've been negotiating

with Musa, they're like, we know Musa is off limits. Yeah. Let's kill the kids. But not

all the kids. Last time it was, we will kill all their children. This time, they're saying,

let's kill the children of those who believe with him. In other words, there are Muslims

who don't go with Musa. And there are Muslims who go with Musa. Even inside the Muslims,

there is a division. Let's do proper spying and intelligence on the Muslim community to

find out which one of them is with Musa and which one of them is against Musa. Yes, I

Muslim, but I don't believe in Musa's message. I think he's too extreme. I think he's getting

us all killed. I don't like Musa's politics. I really don't like his stick. I really don't

like his staff. Right? There are people like that. There are people that are under the

influence of Karun. And then there are those who believe with him. So they need, they

need to now really spy on the Muslim community to find out who is with Musa and who's not

with Musa. And let's only kill the children of those who are with Musa. So now, we're

going to fall apart. And when he says this, Firaun notices, hey, you guys used to encourage

me to kill Musa. This time you didn't say kill Musa. You just said kill the kids. Are you

scared of Musa? This is a big problem. If I'm scared of Musa, that's okay. But if my

generals are scared of Musa, that means they're no longer scared of me. I'm going to lose my

government. This is a big crisis. This is now a crisis inside the house. Firaun is like, oh my

God. Okay. Okay. Okay. This is a real emergency. My own generals are more scared of Musa than

they are of me. I need to take some serious action now to regain control. Wakala Firaun,

the Rumi akutul Musa. Firaun said, let me kill Musa myself. The time when they said kill Musa,

he said, no, no, no, no, no. The time when they said, just kill the children, he said, no, no,

I'll kill Musa because he wants to show them his boss. Let me kill Musa myself. And I found out

you guys have been negotiating with Musa, telling him to pray to his God. Oh, yeah. Faliad

Aura Bahu, let him call his God. Let me kill Musa myself. Let him call his God in Nihahafu

and Yubadiladina Kuhm. I'm starting to worry that he's going to change your religion. He's not

talking to the public. Who's he talking to? The generals. He's about to convert you guys.

This is crazy. I have to kill him. You know, we learn in the Quran that Firaun did love Musa

alaihi salam. But now a time came where he had to choose between his love of Musa and his love

of power. And he made a very quick choice. Story night, Pharaoh, Charles Drown, is now available to
