What did Pharaoh mean when he said “lleave me alone” in the Quranic verse, “leave me alone that I may slay Moses” (40:27) ?

In the holy Qur’an, sir, in Surah Mu’minun, Allah Ta’ala has said, Wa qaala fi rooha zarooni aqtul moosa i.e. aqtul moosa, what? Riyadu rabbahu inni aqabtu ayn yubaddila deenahum wa ayn yuzhk hira fi khilatil fasaad. You see, sir, the phrase is zarooni, rooha says, leave me alone. He was the king. Why he says, leave me alone? Was he under pressure? He said, we are very confused by the language. This is just an expression. You know, this expression is found in every language. Let me. That is to say that now when my turn comes, then I’m going to do this. I’m just playing with him. I have not yet decided. But the moment I decide, then I’m going to do this and that.

So for that, they say, let me. Let me do this now. It doesn’t mean that they’re wanting permission from someone. Let me see to it. That doesn’t mean that you’re seeking permission from someone else. Let me handle this situation. That shows that when I handle this situation, I’ll do it better than others.
