And indeed We sent Moosa along with Our signs towards Firaun and his chieftains – he therefore said, “Indeed I am a Noble Messenger of the Lord of the Creation.” 46 But when he came to them with Our Signs, behold they ridiculed them. 47 And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith]. 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 called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see? 51 Or am I better than this man, who is contemptible and scarcely makes things clear? 52 Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him? 53 So he made his people unsteady, and they obeyed him; surely they were an ungodly people. 54 So, when they had angered Us, We took vengeance on them, and We drowned them all together; 55 And made them a precedent and example for posterity. 56
