According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the duel between Prophet Musa (Moses) and Pharaoh's magicians is a pivotal Quranic narrative establishing the supremacy of divine miracles (Mu'jizah) over human sorcery (Sihr). Ibn Kathir's tafsir, synthesizing the accounts in four different Surahs, explains that the magicians performed a 'great magic,' casting a spell upon the people's eyes with their ropes and staffs. [1] However, when Musa, by Allah's command, threw his staff, it became a real serpent and swallowed their illusions, demonstrating a power that breaks the laws of nature. Al-Qurtubi emphasizes that the most profound proof of this event was the reaction of the magicians themselves; as masters of their craft, they immediately recognized the divine nature of Musa's act and fell down in prostration, declaring their faith in the Lord of Musa and Harun. Their instant conversion and subsequent defiance of Pharaoh's threats of torture serve as the ultimate testimony to the truth of Musa's message and the transformative power of faith.
