Hud 11:97

<h2>The Story of Musa and Fir`awn</h2><p>In these verses Allah informs of His sending Musa with His signs and clear proofs to Fir'awn, the king of the Coptic people, and his chiefs. </p><div class="arabic uthmani">فَاتَّبَعُواْ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ</div><p>(but they followed the command of Fir`awn.) This means that they followed his path, way and methodology in transgression. </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَآ أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ</div><p>(and the command of Fir`awn was no right guide.)
