And when they threw, Moses said, "What you produced is sorcery, and Allah will make it fail. Allah does not foster the efforts of the corrupt."
"And Allah upholds the truth with His words, even though the sinners detest it."
But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, for fear that Pharaoh and his chiefs would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was a tyrant.
Moses said, "O my people, if you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him, if you have submitted."
They said, "In Allah we have put our trust. Our Lord, do not make us victims of the oppressive people."
"And deliver us, by Your mercy, from the disbelieving people."
And We inspired Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt, and make your homes places of worship, and perform the prayer, and give good news to the believers."
Moses said, "Our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the worldly life. Our Lord, for them to lead away from Your path. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth, and harden their hearts, they will not believe until they see the painful torment."
He said, "Your prayer has been answered, so go straight, and do not follow the path of those who do not know."
And We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, defiantly and aggressively. Until, when he was about to drown, he said, "I believe that there is no god except the One the Children of Israel believe in, and I am of those who submit."
