Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 83-86Verses 87-89

      The commentators are of two kinds of opinion regarding the pronoun, ``HIS'' in the phrase, ``HIS PEOPLE.'' Some have taken it to PHARAOH, because the majority of the Egyptions refused to believe. Only a few of Pharaoh's folk believed in Moses and his message among whom we may name the sorcerers, ÄSIYEH,the wife to pharaoh who nursed and brought up Moses as a child, and the famous courtier Qurän has called, ``the believer of pharaoh's folk.'' Pharaoh himself too, ultimately believed when he was drowning, but too late to be accepted.

      The second group of commentators have taken the pronoun, ``HIS'' to refer to Moses:ِ They understand that the first and primeval believers to Moses, were a small group of youngsters from among the Israelites, and then gradually all his people believed, though most of them proved not to be sincere and pure in their faith.

      The first lesson that Moses taught the believers; was to put their trust in Allah and rely entirely on Him:ِ

      ``And Moses said:ِ O, MY PEOPLE! If you have believed in Allah, then on HIM put your trust.''

Putting trust in Allah is not to sit in solitude and in a remote from the society, doing nothing and waiting for God to do everything for you, and say that I have relied on my Lord, and have all confidence in HIM.

      To put trust in God is rather to work harder as far as possible and meanwhile ask for His help too.

      The Arabic, ``FITNAT'' which we have translated to, ``trial'' has various shades of meaning. Its root meaning is, ``TEMPTATION'' and other shades are, trialِpunishmentِtumultِoppressionِdiscordِ

seditionِand also civil war.

      The Israelites here in their prayer, ``MAKE US NOT AN OBJECT OF

TRIALS'' may have meant:ِ ``Do not make us the object of punishment and oppression at the hand of our powerful enemies.''
