( وجعلناهم أئمة ) قادة ورؤساء ، ( يدعون إلى النار ويوم القيامة لا ينصرون ) لا يمنعون من العذاب .
I made Pharoah and his people leaders/predecessors for the tyrants and misguided after them, by spreading to their disbelief and misguidance they are calling to the fire. And on the of judgement, they will not be helped by being saved from the punishment; rather, the punishment will be multiplied for them because of the evil example of calling towards deviation they set. The consequences of their evil deeds and those of whoever followed them, shall be decreed against them.
