Quran 26 Verse 18 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ash-Shu’ara ayat 18, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(26:18) Pharaoh said: “Did we not bring you up among us when you were a child?[14]


14. This remark of Pharaoh shows that he was not the same Pharaoh who had brought up Moses in his house, but his son. Had he been the same Pharaoh, he would have said, “I brought you up.” But, on the contrary, he says, “You were brought up among ourselves.” For a detailed discussion, see (Surah Al-Aaraf, ayat 104-127) note 85-93.
