Pharaoh, transgressed beyond bounds, committed sins and disobeyed

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities¹ with sin.

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.¹

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?¹

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

And increased therein the corruption.

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
