Transliteration:( Natloo 'alaika min naba-i Moosaa wa Fir'awna bilhaqqi liqawminy yu'miinoon )
"We recite to you the true news of Musa and Firawn [3] (pharaoh) for those who believe [4]."
Allah declares that the story of Musa and Firawn being recited here is true news—not folklore or legend. Unlike distorted historical accounts, the Qur’an narrates this event with accuracy, purpose, and divine insight, making it a reliable source of history and guidance.
The story is particularly meant for the believers—to strengthen their faith, offer lessons in patience, and demonstrate how truth prevails over tyranny. These narratives serve as a moral compass, reinforcing the believer’s trust in Allah’s justice and plan.
