Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Arrogance of Fir`awn and His ultimate DestinyAllah tells us of Fir`awn's disbelief and wrongdoing, and how he falsely claimed divinity for his evil self, may Allah curse him.فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَأَطَاعُوهُ(Thus he fooled his people, and they obeyed him.) 43:54 He called on his people to recognize his divinity, and they responded, because of their weak and foolish minds.
