Surah Muminun ayat 48 Tafsir Quran 23:48

﴿فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ﴾
[ المؤمنون: 48]

23:48 So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

So they denied them both and became of those who were destroyed.

And they accused them of falsehood, and in consequence were they added to the list of those who perished

The Story of Musa, Peace be upon Him; and Fir`awn Allah tells us that He sent Musa, peace be upon him, and his brother Harun to Fir`awn and his chiefs with decisive evidence and definitive proof, but Fir`awn and his people were too arrogant to follow them and obey their commands because they were human beings, just as previous nations had denied the Message of the human Messengers.
They were of a similar mentality, so Allah destroyed Fir`awn and his chiefs, drowning them all in one day.
He revealed the Book to Musa, i.e., the Tawrah, in which were rulings, commands and prohibitions, after He had destroyed Fir`awn and the Egyptians and seized them with a punishment of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what He wills.
After Allah revealed the Tawrah, Allah did not destroy any nation with an overwhelming calamity; instead, He commanded the believers to fight the disbelievers, as He says: وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَـبَ مِن بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ الاٍّولَى بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ( And indeed We gave Musa -- after We had destroyed the generations of old -- the Scripture as an enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that they might remember. ) 28:43

(23:48) So they treated them as impostors and incurred destruction. *42

So they denied them and were of meaning

The Story of Musa, Peace be upon Him; and Fir`awn Allah tells us that He sent Musa, peace be upon him, and his brother Harun to Fir`awn and his chiefs with decisive evidence and definitive proof, but Fir`awn and his people were too arrogant to follow them and obey their commands because they were human beings, just as previous nations had denied the Message of the human Messengers.
They were of a similar mentality, so Allah destroyed Fir`awn and his chiefs, drowning them all in one day.
He revealed the Book to Musa, i.e., the Tawrah, in which were rulings, commands and prohibitions, after He had destroyed Fir`awn and the Egyptians and seized them with a punishment of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what He wills.
After Allah revealed the Tawrah, Allah did not destroy any nation with an overwhelming calamity; instead, He commanded the believers to fight the disbelievers, as He says: وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَـبَ مِن بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ الاٍّولَى بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ( And indeed We gave Musa -- after We had destroyed the generations of old -- the Scripture as an enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that they might remember. ) 28:43

( So they denied them ) they denied their message, ( and became of those who were destroyed ) they were drowned in the sea.

So they denied them both [Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)] and became of those who were destroyed.
