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
وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُّبِينٌ And We gave them the clear signs in which there was a manifest blessing. (44:33) " The word 'signs' refers to the miracles of the staff, the shining hand and others. The word 1 bala' has two senses: (1) blessing; and (2) trial. Here both senses are possible. (Qurtubi).
