Al-Qasas (Hadithi) - Katika Kivuli cha Qur'ani | Quran Course

9 Nilipotoa maoni juu ya Sura ya 20, Ţā Ĥā, nikasema: "Pia tunajifunza kutoka katika simulizi hii kwamba Wana wa Israeli walipokubali udhalilishaji ambao Firauni aliwawekea, kwa sababu ya kampeni yake ya mateso, akiwaua wanaume wao na kuwaacha hai wanawake wao, Mwenyezi Mungu hakuingilia upande wao. Walikubali tu utumwa wao, wakimwogopa Firauni na nguvu zake. Lakini imani ilipokuwa kuu mioyoni mwa wale walioamini Musa na ujumbe wake, na walipokuwa tayari kustahimili mateso wakiwa wameinua vichwa vyao, wakitangaza kukataa kwao Firauni na imani yao kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, ndipo Mwenyezi Mungu aliingilia kati na kuendesha vita. Hivyo, ushindi ulipatikana uwanjani kama ulivyokuwa umepatikana mapema ndani ya nyoyo zao na nafsi zao." (Juz. XI, uk. 343.)

9 In commenting on Sūrah 20, Ţā Ĥā, I said: “We also learn from this account that when the Children of Israel accepted the humiliation Pharoah imposed on them, by virtue of his persecution campaign, killing their men and sparing their women, God did not interfere on their side. They simply accepted their subjugation, fearing Pharaoh and his power. But when faith was paramount in the hearts of those who believed in Moses and his message, and when they were ready to withstand the torture with their heads held high, declaring their rejection of Pharaoh and their belief in God, then God intervened and conducted the battle. Thus, victory was achieved on the battlefield as it was earlier achieved within their hearts and souls.” (Vol. XI, p. 343.)

Hata hivyo, kile ambacho nimekisema hivi punde katika sura hii ni sahihi zaidi na kinaendana zaidi na maana ya sura hii. Lakini kile nilichosema katika maoni yale kinakubalika, pamoja na mabadiliko kidogo ya maneno. Hapa, sura inaonyesha jinsi nguvu ya Mungu ilivyoingilia kati tangu mwanzo, lakini ushindi wa mwisho ulipatikana tu wakati imani ilipokuwa wazi kabisa mioyoni mwa wale walioamini, na walipotangaza waziwazi neno la ukweli mbele ya udhalimu wa kikatili.

However, what I have just said in this sūrah is more accurate and accords with the import of this sūrah.. Yet what I said in that comment is acceptable with some change in phraseology. Here, the sūrah demonstrates how God's power intervened right from the outset, but the ultimate victory was only achieved when faith was clearly uppermost in the hearts of those who believed, and when they openly declared the word of truth in the face of ruthless tyranny.
