They Took A Step, Allah Gave Them Such A Strength

Musa (A.S.) is in this war with the magicians. He throws his stick and they throw their sticks, and the moment his snake starts eating their snakes, they have a realization — knowledge comes to them: this guy is not doing magic, he is doing something else. This is not magic.

Now, Firaun — he knows this as well, but he is rejecting it because of something in his heart. These magicians, the moment they realize the truth, they didn't just accept the truth. What did they do? They fell down in Sajdah. They just fell on their faces.

"We believe in Allah, Lord of the worlds — the Lord of Musa and Harun."

Look at the immediate submission to Allah. Immediately. You know how hard that is? To sacrifice your ego. Sacrifice your position in society. Sacrifice your arrogance. And despite everything, you know the threat is going to come — you are not going to have a nice easy exit with a red carpet — to fall on your face in Sujood.

What is Firaun saying?

"You believed in him before I gave you permission? I will chop your arms and legs off from opposite sides, and then I will crucify you."

Are you scared? Are you terrified? And what do these magicians say?

We don't care. This is the guidance from Allah.

They fell in Sajdah to Allah. Allah gave them, gifted them, such a strong certainty. You know, you and me — if somebody came and threatened us: "Look, if you don't give up Islam I'm going to chop your arms and legs off," you'd say: "Look, whatever religion you say, I'll accept — no problem brother, let me breathe."

Look at the strength Allah gave them. The strength. They did Sajdah to Allah, and Allah gave them such a strength. They said: we don't care, we are going back to Allah. We just hope Allah forgives our sins, because we were the first to believe.

The Lesson of the Magicians

The magicians of Musa (A.S.) teach us: if you take one step — one moment of sincere submission to Allah — Allah will give you a strength to worship Him, a confidence to believe in Him, a level of certainty that you could never have imagined.

But you have to take the step.
