Transliteration:( Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon )
"I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone [21] me."
In this verse, Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) responds to the threats of Pharaoh and his people, who had warned him with death by stoning. In the face of this danger, he does not retaliate with force or fear but instead turns to Allah, declaring his reliance on divine protection.
By saying “my Lord and your Lord,” he subtly reminds Pharaoh and his people that Allah is the Lord of all, not just of the oppressed. Even if they deny Him, He still controls their fate. This was a powerful moral stance, combining courage with humility and spiritual dependence.
This statement reflects the noble character of prophets—they do not rely on worldly might, but place full trust in Allah when facing hostility and danger. It also shows that a prophet’s response to aggression is firm in message yet peaceful in manner, rooted in truth and trust in the Almighty.
