Quran 79:24 Surah An-Naziat English Translation, Transliteration and Tafsir (Tafseer)

Commentary of Verse 24 (Surah An-Nazi’at)

"I am your lord, the highest one." [10]

Pharaoh’s Blasphemous Claim [10]

Pharaoh’s statement reflects his extreme arrogance and denial of Allah’s sovereignty. His claim carried multiple layers:

• Idols as Subordinates:
  He claimed the idols worshipped by his people were lesser gods, mere copies of himself—while he was the original and greatest.

• Mocking Musa’s Lord:
  He belittled the message of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace), implying that if Musa’s Lord truly existed, He must be weak—since His representative appeared poor and powerless.

• Pride in Power and Allies:
  Pharaoh contrasted his own grandeur and powerful ministers like Hamaan with the humility of Musa (On whom be peace), falsely equating material splendor with divine authority.
