What made them hold firmly to their belief in Allah was the certainty of meeting with Allah the Almighty. In addition to that, believing that whoever remained with Allah would always be the winner, and that the big loss would not be leaving the worldly and moving to the Hereafter, but rather it would be meeting with Allah as a grave sinner. In fact, whoever commits a sin, but regrets it and turns to Allah with repentance will be elevated high.
“So do whatever you want! Your authority only covers the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world* Indeed, we have believed in our Lord so He may forgive our sins and that magic you have forced us to practice. And Allah is far superior ˹in reward˺ and more lasting ˹in punishment˺.* Whoever comes to their Lord as an evildoer will certainly have Hell, where they can neither live nor die* But whoever comes to Him as a believer, having done good, they will have the highest ranks* the Gardens of Eternity, under which rivers flow, where they will stay forever. That is the reward of those who purify themselves. (Ta-Ha 20: 72-76)
Second: They asked Allah, Exalted and Sublime be, to grant them patience on what Pharaoh would do to them and die while submitting to Him. “Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ˹to You˺.” (Al-A’raf 7: 126)
اليقين بلقاء الله عز وجل، وأن من كان معه فهو المنتصر، وأن الخسارة الحقيقية ليست خسارة الدنيا والانتقال منها إلى الدار الآخرة، إنما الخسارة هي أن يأت العبد إلى ربه مرتكبًا الآثام والعظائم ولم يتب منها، فإن ارتكبها وتاب فذلك له الدرجات العُلَى.
فَاقْضِ مَا أَنْتَ قَاضٍ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا. إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى. إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِ رَبَّهُ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَى. وَمَنْ يَأْتِهِ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَأُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الْعُلَى. جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ مَنْ تَزَكَّى”. (طه 20: 72-76)
ثانيًا: سألوا الله عز وجل أن يرزقهم الصبر على فعل فرعون وأن يتوفاهم على الإسلام. “رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْراً وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ”. (الأعراف 7: 126)
