Do not the people who inherited the earth from the (earlier) inhabitants perceive that We could afflict them too for their sins if We pleased, and put seals on their hearts that they may not hear (the voice of truth)? 100 Those were the towns whose story We relate unto you (O Muhammad SAW). And there came indeed to them their Messengers with clear proofs, but they were not such as to believe in that which they had rejected before. Thus Allah does seal up the hearts of the disbelievers (from each and every kind of religious guidance). 101 We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong-doers. 102 So We sent Moses with miracles after (these apostles) to the Pharaoh and his nobles, but they behaved with them high-handedly. See then the end of the authors of evil. 103 Moses said: "O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds,- 104 “It is obligatory for me not to speak concerning Allah except the truth; I have come to you all with a clear sign from your Lord, therefore let the Descendants of Israel go with me.” 105 (Pharaoh) said: If thou comest with a token, then produce it, if thou art of those who speak the truth. 106 He threw down his staff, and it was clearly a serpent. 107 Then he drew out his hand, and it appeared luminous to all beholders. 108
