And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds. 46 but when he came to them with Our signs, they ridiculed them, 47 And not an Ayah (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow, and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allah's Religion (Islamic Monotheism)]. 48 And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided." 49 When We relieved them from the torment they suddenly turned back on their heels. 50 And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me? Can ye not then discern? 51 Am I not better than this lowly man who can barely express himself? 52 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions? 53 He (Pharaoh) intimidated his nation, so they obeyed him, for they were a sinning nation. 54 But when they roused Our anger We inflicted retributive punishment and drowned them all, 55 And We made them (a people) of the Past and an Example to later ages. 56
