The Story of Musa and Fir`awn, and how the Children of Israel were saved
Allah tells us, `before these idolators, We tested the people of Fir`awn, the copts of Egypt.'
وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ And We made other people inherit all this." (44:28) In Surah Shu'ara', it is explicitly stated that 'other people' refers to the Children of Israel. It is objected that there is no historical evidence to show that the Children of Israel ever settled again in Egypt. This objection has been rebutted in Surah Shu` ara'.
