Thus doth Allah seal up the hearts of those who reject faith. 101 And most of them We found not (true) to their covenant, but most of them We found indeed Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). 102 After them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs. But they willfully rejected them.
