Ash-Shu'araa (The Poets)

31. “(Pharaoh) said: ‘Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones’.”

At this time Pharaoh reached a very difficult deadlock, for Moses (as) implicitly referred to an extraordinary program and attracted the attention of the audience towards himself. If Pharaoh ignored his words, all persons would object him and would say that he must let Moses present his important job.

If Moses (as) could do it, it would get clear that he (as) could not be dealt with, otherwise, his bragging and idle talk would get obvious. Anyway, the words of Moses (as) could not be easily ignored.

Pharaoh unwillingly had to utter as follows:

“(Pharaoh) said: ‘Bring it then, if you are of the truthful Ones’.”

When logic does not work, miracle is a must, for prophets’ miracle is real and true and people understand it easily.
