Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear. 100 Those cities We relate to thee tidings of; their Messengers came to them with the clear signs, but they were not the ones to believe in that they had cried lies before; so God seals the hearts of the unbelievers. 101 We did not find many of them faithful to their promises, and found many of them disobedient. 102 Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them: So see what was the end of those who made mischief. 103 Moses said, 'Pharaoh, I am a Messenger from the Lord of all Being, 104 Incumbent it is upon me that I speak naught respecting Allah save the truth; surely I have brought you an evidence from your Lord; wherefore let then go with me the Children of Isra'il. 105 Said he, 'If thou hast brought a sign, produce it, if thou speakest truly.' 106 Thereupon Moses threw his rod, and suddenly it was a veritable serpent. 107 Then he drew out his hand, and it appeared luminous to all beholders. 108
