If you have accepted faith in Allah, then you should rely only upon Him, if you are Muslims.” 84 They replied: 'We place our reliance on Allah. Our Lord!

Destroy their possessions, O Lord, and harden their hearts that they may not believe until they face the painful punishment." 88 He said, 'Your prayer is answered; so go you straight, and follow not the way of those that know not.' 89 ۞ And We brought the children of Israel across the sea; and thereupon Pharaoh and his hosts pursued them with vehement insolence and tyranny, until [they were overwhelmed by the waters of the sea.

Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents. 92
