Ash-Shu'ara Verse 28

Moses responded: “˹He is˺ the Lord of the east and west, and everything in between, if only you had any sense.”

Moses said, “Lord of the east and west and all that is between them, if only you had sense!”

He said, 'The Lord of the East and West, and what between them is, if you have understanding,'

Moses continued, ‘Lord of the East and West and everything between them. If you would only use your reason!’

He said: Lord of the east and the west and whatsoever is in-between, if ye understand.

(Moses) said; "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!"

Moses continued: "(He is) the Lord of the east and the west, and all between them. If you only had any understanding!"

(Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense."

He said, “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them; if you have sense.”

He said, ‘The Lord of the east and the west and whatever is between them—should you exercise your reason.’

(Moses) went on: "He is the Lord of the east and the west and all that is between them, if you would but reason and understand!"

(Moses) said (continuing his speech), `(In respect of time the Lord of the worlds is the same as) the Lord of the east and of the west and of all that lies between the two. (You can be rightly guided) if you could only use your senses.´

He (Moses) said: "Lord (of) the sunrise/east and the sunset/west and what (is) between them (B) if you were reasoning/comprehending ."

He said, “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them; if you have sense.”

He, Moses, said, `The Lord of the east and the west and all that is between them -- should you comprehend,', that He is such [a Lord] then believe in Him alone.

قَالَ

(Musa) said --

to those in whose hearts Fir`awn had planted doubts;

رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ



Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!

`He is the One Who made the east the place where the heavenly bodies rise, and made the west the place where they set; this is the system to which He has subjugated all the heavenly bodies, stationary and moving. If what Fir`awn claims is true, that he is your lord and your god, then let him turn things around so that the heavenly bodies set in the east and rise in the west.'

This is similar to the Ayah,

الَّذِى حَأجَّ إِبْرَهِيمَ فِى رِبِّهِ أَنْ اتَـهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِى يُحْىِ وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا أُحْىِ وَأُمِيتُ قَالَ إِبْرَهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِى بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ

who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom! When Ibrahim said;"My Lord is He Who gives life and causes death."

He said, "I give life and cause death."

Ibrahim said, "Verily, Allah brings the sun from the east. So cause it to rise from the west." (2;258)

So when Fir`awn was defeated in debate, he resorted to the use of his force and power, believing that this would be effective in dealing with Musa, peace be upon him, so he said, as Allah tells us
