"That is because of what your hands have committed, and because Allah is not unjust to the servants."
Like the behavior of the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They rejected the signs of Allah, so Allah seized them for their sins. Allah is Powerful, Severe in punishment.
That is because Allah would never change a blessing He has bestowed on a people unless they change what is within themselves, and because Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Such was the case with the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They denied the signs of their Lord, so We annihilated them for their wrongs, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh—they were all evildoers.
The worst of creatures in Allah's view are those who disbelieve. They have no faith.
Those of them with whom you made a treaty, but they violate their agreement every time. They are not righteous.
If you confront them in battle, make of them a fearsome example for those who follow them, that they may take heed.
If you fear treachery on the part of a people, break off with them in a like manner. Allah does not like the treacherous.
Let not the disbelievers assume that they are ahead. They will not escape.
And prepare against them all the power you can muster, and all the cavalry you can mobilize, to terrify thereby Allah's enemies and your enemies, and others besides them whom you do not know, but Allah knows them. Whatever you spend in Allah's way will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.
