among our forefathers.' Musa replied: 'My Lord knows best the man
who brings guidance from Him and whose will be the best end in the
Hereafter. The wrongdoers shall never prosper.'
'Nobles,' said Pharaoh, 'you have no other god that I know of except
myself. Kindle a fire, OHaman, on clay (to make bricks) and build for
me a tower that I may climb to the god of Musa. I am convinced that he
is lying.'
Pharaoh and his warriors conducted themselves in the land with
pride and injustice, and thought they would never be recalled to Us.
ButWe seized them andWe cast them into the sea. Consider the fate of
the evil-doers.
We made them leaders inviting men to the Fire. But on the Day of
Resurrection none shall help them. In this worldWe laid Our curse on
them, and on the Day of ResurrectionWe shall dishonour them.
And after We had destroyed the previous generations, We gave
Musa the Book as a clear testimony, a guide and a blessing for men, so
that theymight give thought.

You were not present on the western side (of the mountain)whenWe
chargedMusa with his commission, nor did you witness the event.We
raised many generations after him whose lives were Prolonged. You
did not dwell among the people of Madian, nor did you recite to them
Our revelations; butWe sent (you) fully inspired.
You were not present on the mountain-side when We called (out to
Musa). Yet (We have sent you forth) as a blessing from your Lord to
1. Muhammad.
