sunrise the Egyptians followed them. When the two groups saw each other, the people of
Moses said, “We are sure to be caught.” He said, “Certainly not. My Lord is with me. He
will guide me.” We then revealed to Moses, “Strike the sea with your staff.” It split in two,
each part like a huge mountain. We made the others follow them to that place. We saved
Moses and all of his followers, but We drowned the others. Surely this is a sign, but most of
them did not believe.
26:68 But truly,
your Lord, He is mighty and merciful!
26:69 Recite to them the story of Abraham. When he said to his father and his people,
“What do you worship?”
26:71 They said, “We worship idols and give them constant devotion.”
26:72 He said, “Do they hear you when you call to them? Do they help you, or do you
harm?”
26:74 They said, “No, but it is what our fathers did.”
26:75 He said, “Do you see what you have been worshiping? You and your ancestors are my
enemies, but not the Lord of the worlds. He created me and guides me, and He gives me
food and drink. When I am sick, He heals me, He causes me to die and then gives me
rebirth, and, I hope, He will forgive me my sins on the Judgment Day.”
26:83 “My Lord, give me wisdom and unite me with the righteous, give me a good name in
posterity, and make me an heir of the Garden of Delight. Forgive my father because he was
one of those who have gone astray. Do not let me be disgraced when men are raised up, on
the day when neither riches or children will help, except for those who come to Allah with a
sound heart. Paradise will be brought close to the righteous and Hell opened for those who
have gone astray. It will be said to them, ‘Where are the gods whom you worshipped besides
Allah? Can they harm you or help themselves?’”
26:94 “And they will be cast into the fire—the seducers and the seduced and all the hosts of
Iblis [Satan]. They will say, as they quarrel among themselves, ‘Allah, we were plainly in
error when we made our deities equal with the Lord of the worlds. It was the wicked who
misled us, and we have no one to plead for us and no friend who cares for us. If we could
only return, we would be believers.’”
26:103 Surely, there is a sign here, but most of them do not believe. Truly, your Lord, He is
mighty and merciful!
43:46 Earlier We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said, “I am a
messenger of the Lord of the worlds.” But when he came to them with Our signs, they
laughed at them. We showed them many signs, each greater than the last, and We punished
them so that they might turn to Us. And they said, “ Oh,
sorcerer,
for our sake call upon your
Lord. You have a covenant with Him. We will certainly follow the right guidance.” But
when
We removed the punishment, they broke their word.
