Sura 79: AN-NAZIAT (THOSE WHO DRAG FORTH) - Juz' 30 - Translation Yusufali

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى ﴿۲۱﴾
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); (21)
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى ﴿۲۲﴾
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). (22)
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى ﴿۲۳﴾
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, (23)
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى ﴿۲۴﴾
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". (24)
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى ﴿۲۵﴾
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. (25)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى ﴿۲۶﴾
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). (26)
أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا ﴿۲۷﴾
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it: (27)
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ﴿۲۸﴾
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection. (28)
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۲۹﴾
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light). (29)
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا ﴿۳۰﴾
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse); (30)
