"Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against Allah,(4415) and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"
4415 The worship of Pharaoh was but typical of Egyptian blasphemy, but it had many sides, including the worship of heroes, animals, powers of good and evil in nature, and idols of all kinds. It is this comprehensive cult which required forgiveness again and again, but Allah is Exalted in Power, and gives such forgiveness on repentance.
