40.21 - Have they not walked in the land and seen how the consequence was for those before them? They were greater than them in strength and heritage in the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And there was not for them any protector. 40.22 - That was because their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they disbelieved, so Allah seized them. Indeed, He is Strong, Severe in punishment. 40.23 - And We have certainly sent Musa with Our signs and a clear authority. 40.24 - To Firon and Haman and Qarun, but they said: A lying magician. 40.25 - And when he brought to them the truth from Us, they said: Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive. And the plan of the unbelievers is not except in error. 40.26 - And Firon said: Let me kill Musa and let him call upon his Lord; indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will make mischief in the land. 40.27 - And Musa said: Indeed, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who does not believe in the day of reckoning. 40.28 - And a believing man from among the people of Firon who was hiding his faith said: Will you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah, while he has brought to you clear signs from your Lord? And if he is a liar, upon him will be his lies, and if he is truthful, there will strike you some of that which he promises you; indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a lying extravagant. 40.29 - O my people! Kingdom is yours today, dominant in the land. But who will help us against the distress of Allah if it came to us? Firon said: I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of maturity. 40.30 - And the one who has believed said: O my people! Indeed, I fear upon you the like of the day of the allies.
