Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

More of what the Believer from Fir`awn's Family saidThis believer said to his people who persisted in their rebellion and transgression, and preferred the life of this world:يقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُـمْ سَبِيـلَ الرَّشَـادِ(O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.) This is in contrast to the false claim of Fir`awn:وَمَآ أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلاَّ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ(and I guide you only to the path of right policy.
