إِن هِيَ إِلّا حَياتُنَا الدُّنيا نَموتُ وَنَحيا وَما نَحنُ بِمَبعوثينَ

Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

إِن هُوَ إِلّا رَجُلٌ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَما نَحنُ لَهُ بِمُؤمِنينَ

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him."

قالَ رَبِّ انصُرني بِما كَذَّبونِ

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

قالَ عَمّا قَليلٍ لَيُصبِحُنَّ نادِمينَ

[Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصَّيحَةُ بِالحَقِّ فَجَعَلناهُم غُثاءً ۚ فَبُعدًا لِلقَومِ الظّالِمينَ

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

ما تَسبِقُ مِن أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَها وَما يَستَأخِرونَ

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

ثُمَّ أَرسَلنا رُسُلَنا تَترىٰ ۖ كُلَّ ما جاءَ أُمَّةً رَسولُها كَذَّبوهُ ۚ فَأَتبَعنا بَعضَهُم بَعضًا وَجَعَلناهُم أَحاديثَ ۚ فَبُعدًا لِقَومٍ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

ثُمَّ أَرسَلنا موسىٰ وَأَخاهُ هارونَ بِآياتِنا وَسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاستَكبَروا وَكانوا قَومًا عالينَ

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

فَقالوا أَنُؤمِنُ لِبَشَرَينِ مِثلِنا وَقَومُهُما لَنا عابِدونَ

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"
