    📖 Commentary of Surah An-Naml – Verse 13

    "Then Our signs came to them clearly [26], they said, 'This is clear magic.' [27]"

    ✅ [26] Signs That Were Undeniably Clear

    The divine signs shown to Pharaoh and his people—such as the radiant hand, the staff turning into a serpent, and the plagues—were clear and evident, leaving no room for doubt. These miracles were not subtle or hidden but manifest proofs of Musa’s truthfulness and the power of Allah.

    ✅ [27] Denial by Calling It Magic

    Despite the clarity and magnitude of the signs, Pharaoh and his followers dismissed them as “clear magic.” This reflects a deliberate and arrogant rejection—not due to lack of evidence, but because of pride and fear of losing power. Labeling miracles as magic was a tactic to mislead the masses and maintain control, even though in their hearts they recognized the truth.
