People close to Pharaoh advised him following:

They said, “Put him off, and his brother, and send
heralds to the cities. And let them bring you every
1
skillful magician.
At that time magic and sehr was very popular,
specialized scholars in magic (Professional magicians)
were very popular and people liked them, But how this
fact was used by Pharaoh to stupefy people.
We need to review more verses from Quran: َ ْ َ َ

َ ْ
ُ َ

َ
ُ ْ َ َ َ
َ
ُ
َ ْ ُ َ

.» نوبلاغلا نحنل انإ نوعرف ةزعب اولاقو مهیصعو مهلابح اوقلأف «

So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said By the
2

He said, “You throw!” And when they threw, they
beguiled the eyes of the people, and intimidated them,
3
and produced a mighty magic.
As a result people saw a magic (not miracle)
heppening du to “Phraoh’s majesty”. This was not the
first ime as magic was very popular and Pharaoh used
this for his credit, Of couse not educated people
would accept it as a will of Pharaoh.
