IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[20:73]
As for us, behold, we have come to believe in our Sustainer, [hoping] that He may forgive us our faults and all that magic unto which thou hast forced us: for God is the best [to look forward to], and the One who is truly abiding."


* v.73 : Pharaoh (a title borne by every indigenous ruler of Egypt) was considered to be a “god-king” and, thus, the embodiment of the Egyptian religion, in which occult practices and magic played a very important role; hence, every one of his subjects was duty-bound to accept magic as an integral part of the scheme of life.
* Lit., “and the most abiding,” i.e., eternal: cf. 55:26-27.
