We sent Moses to the Pharaoh and his nobles with Our miracles and he said, "I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Universe". 46 But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! they laughed at 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 (Whenever they faced an affliction) they would say: “O magician, pray for us to your Lord according to your station with Him. We shall certainly be guided to the Right Way.” 49 But when We removed the torment from them, behold! They broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove the torment for them). 50 The Pharaoh shouted to his people, "My people, is the kingdom of Egypt not mine? and can you not see that the streams flow from beneath my palace? 51 Or am I better than this man, who is contemptible and scarcely makes things clear? 52 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions? 53 So he made his people unsteady, and they obeyed him; surely they were an ungodly people. 54 But when they continued to challenge Us, We inflicted Our retribution on them, and drowned them all: 55 and We made them a thing of the past, and We made them an example to later people. 56
