The Majestic Quran

when the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Cast your spells .” 81 When they had cast their spells , Moses said, “You’ve performed magic. God will prove it to be fake; God will not allow the actions of those bent on corruption to succeed; 82 rather God will uphold the truth of His words, though the sinners hate that.” M 83 No one believed in Moses – fearing that Pharaoh and his courtiers will persecute them – except some young people. Pharaoh behaved high- handedly throughout the land, and he was one of those who went beyond the bounds. 84 Moses said, “My people, since you chose to believe in God then put your trust in Him, if you have really submitted to His will .” 85 They replied, “We have put our trust in God, Our Lord, do not leave us at the mercy of the wicked people 86 and, by Your kindness, rescue us from the disbelieving people.” 87 We revealed to Moses and his brother: “Let your people take up residence in Egypt; and, Israelites , turn your homes into places of worship, and perform the prayer; and Moses , give glad tidings to the believers.” Moses’ prayer for the destruction of Pharaoh. 88 Moses said, “Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his courtiers splendour and wealth in this worldly life so they are leading others astray from Your path. Our Lord, destroy their wealth and harden their hearts so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment with their eyes .” 89 God said, “Your prayer has been accepted, remain steadfast, both of you, and do not follow the path of those who have no knowledge.” P ’ 90 Eventually, We led the Israelites across the sea, with Pharaoh and his army following them, full of aggression and hatred, until he drowned , 1 Pharaoh said, “I believe there is no god except Him Who the Israelites believe, and I am one who submits to His will .” 91 “What, now?” Pharaoh was asked , “After all your disobedience as one of those bent on corruption? 92 Today We shall preserve your body, as a warning sign for whoever comes after you.” Unfortunately, many people are unaware of Our signs . 2 93 We settled the Israelites in comfortable houses and provided them wholesome food, and they did not disagree amongst themselves until after knowledge had come to them. Your Lord will judge between them on Judgement Day regarding their differences.
