پاسخ موسی(ع) به شبههةٌ فرعون

حضرت موسی(ع) در آَیة ۴۸ به صراحت, بحث معاد و کیفر و جزا را مطرح کرد. فرعون که مانند دیگر مشرکان منکر معاد بودء با تعجب پرسید که امت‌ها و انسان‌های ادوار گذشته‌ای که مرده‌اند و نابود شده‌اند و دیگر خبر و اثری از ایشان نیستء چه وضعیتی دارند و چگونه پاداش و کیفر اعمال خود را می‌بینند؛ در حالی که جز نام و افسانه‌ای از ایشان نمانده است؟ موسی(ع) در پاسخ این شبهه فرمود: پاداش و کیفر نسل‌های گذشتهء برای کسی مشکل است که به آن آگاهی نداشته باشد؛ اما برای خداوند که علمش بر زمان و مکان احاطه دارده مشکل نیست و او از گذشته و آینده باخبر است.
