They are Pharaohs. The ego of each individual is a Pharaoh.
Regardless of the person, when the ego has the opportunity, it becomes a Pharaoh.
The ego of everyone will behave like a Pharaoh, if it can.
What did Pharaoh do during the times of Moses, peace be upon him.
He gathered his people before him.
And said to his people: "I am your greatest lord. I am your God."
Pharaoh followed his desire. He regarded his subjects as slaves and his ego reveled in the sight of the crowd of people.
This sight pleased Pharaoh and he was amazed at himself: "How great I am!"
"I am your president, I am your king!" But that was not enough for him.
Finally, Pharaoh said: "I am your God."
This is how the ego behaves.
The ego puts people in danger and drives them to ruin.
The ego turns people into Pharaohs.
Allah the Exalted ﷻ tells us about this incident as a lesson.
Allah ﷻ delivers this event in the Noble Quran.
This should be a lesson for those who fear Allah ﷻ.
It should be a lesson not to follow the ego.
Don't consider what your ego promises you as something special and don't follow your ego.
Allah the Exalted ﷻ has given mankind a lesson, but they do not learn from it.
Most people do not understand it.
There have been Pharaohs at all times.
They did not do what Allah the Exalted ﷻ said.
On the one hand, they did not obey Allah's ﷻ commands.
Furthermore, they have risen against Allah ﷻ.
They have forbidden the commandments of Allah ﷻ.
They wanted to erase Allah's ﷻ commandments.
But they have destroyed themselves.
They have perished.
This is a lesson.
It is a lesson in this life and in the hereafter, says Allah the Exalted ﷻ.
They have also not achieved peace in this world.
There was and is no peace for them, because they committed these injustices and considered themselves something and tortured people.
There is no peace of mind for those who go against the way of Allah and do not comply with what Allah the Exalted ﷻ says.
Whoever tries to enforce his own words instead of Allah's ﷻ commandments will also perish.
Those who follow them will also perish if they do not come to their senses.
This way is Allah's way.
There is no other way to salvation.
There is no other way to redemption.
From time immemorial, people have gone astray.
People have deviated from the right path and have even made an effort to tread other paths.
Whoever has gone astray has perished.
Those who follow the way of Allah have won, they have entered the way of redemption.
They have surely found redemption in this world and in the hereafter, if Allah ﷻ wills.
Those who go another way have perished.
May Allah ﷻ protect us from that.
The wise person sees the right way.
The right way is big and wide and straight.
The right way is pure, beautiful and obvious.
The right path is clearly visible to the eyes.
Why do people leave the right path and prefer a needless, dangerous and misleading path.
Don't stray from the straight path.
Only the misguided go astray.
May Allah ﷻ protect us.
May Allah ﷻ protect the Muslims, children, young, old and all people.
Satan is after everyone, no matter if young or old.
He misguides everyone.
May Allah ﷻ protect us from that.
May Allah ﷻ send us the protector and savior Mahdi Alayhissalam.
