{ يٰقَومِ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُلْكُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَا قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمْ إِلاَّ مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلاَّ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ }

O my people! Today the kingdom is yours you are dominant prevailing zāhirīna a circumstantial qualifier in the land the land of Egypt. But who will help us against the might of God against His chastisement if you resolve to slay His friends should it reach us?’ In other words we would have no helper. Pharaoh said ‘I only point out to you what I see to be best that is to say I only suggest to you what I suggest to myself and that is to kill Moses would be best; and I am only guiding you to the path of rectitude’ to the correct way.
