Is it not a guidance to those who inherit the earth after those who inhabited it that, did We will, We would smite them because of their sins, sealing their hearts so they do not hear? 100 Those townships! We recount unto thee some tidings thereof. Assuredly there came unto them their apostles with evidences, but they were not such as to believe that which they had erst belied. Thus doth Allah put a seal upon the hearts of the infidels. 101 We did not find many among them keeping their promises. However, We did find many evil-doers among them. 102 So We sent Moses with miracles after (these apostles) to the Pharaoh and his nobles, but they behaved with them high-handedly. See then the end of the authors of evil. 103 And Musa said: O Fir'awn! I am an apostle from the Lord of the worlds; 104 so constituted that I cannot say anything about God but the truth. I have now come unto you with a clear evidence from your Sustainer: let, then, the children of Israel go with me!" 105 Said he, 'If thou hast brought a sign, produce it, if thou speakest truly.' 106 Therefore Moosa put down his staff – it immediately turned into a visible python. 107 And he drew forth his hand, and behold, it looked white to those who beheld it. 108
