بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
40:21 Do they not travel in the earth to see what was the outcome of those before them? They had more power than them and were more productive in the earth. But Allah seized them with their sins. There is no one who can protect them against Allah.
40:22 Because when the messengers came to them with clear proofs, they disbelieved. So Allah seized them. He is Mighty, severe in His Retribution.
40:24 "We said to Pharaoh, Haman and Karun. They said: "This is a magician and a liar"."
40:25 "When he brought to them a truth from Us, they said: "Kill the sons of those who believe with him and let the women live". The plan of the disbelievers is always perverse."
40:26 "Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses so that he may call upon his Lord. I fear that he may change your religion or cause evil in the land."
40:27 "Moses said, "I have sought refuge with my Lord and your Lord from every fierce man who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning."
40:28 "A believing man from Pharaoh´s side who concealed his faith said, "Are you going to kill a man who says, ´My Lord is Allah´? He has brought you clear proofs from your Lord. If he is a liar, that is his problem; but if he is truthful, what he has told you will come true. Surely Allah does not love the liars who transgress."
40:29 "O my people, the government is yours today and you are sovereign in the land. But if the wrath of Allah comes upon us, who can help us against it?"Pharaoh said, "I am advising you my opinion and guiding you in the right way."
40:30 "The believing man said, "O my people, I am afraid that you will suffer a fate like the day of the previous parties."
40:31 Like the case of Noah, Ad, Thamud and those after them. Surely Allah does not wish injustice to the servants.
40:33 On that Day you will turn your backs and flee, but there is none to protect you from Allah. There is no guide for those whom Allah leads astray.
40:34 "Joseph also came to you before with clear proofs, but you were always skeptical of the message he brought you. Finally, when he died, you said, "Allah will not send a messenger after him (he is the last messenger)". Thus does Allah lead astray those who exceed the limit in doubt."
40:35 Those who argue against the signs and miracles of Allah without any proof are subject to great anger both in the sight of Allah and in the sight of the believers. That is how Allah seals the heart of every arrogant tyrant.
40:36 "Pharaoh said, "Haman, build for me a tower so that I may access the paths."
40:37 "To the paths of the heavens. So that I may look at the God of Moses. I believe him to be a liar."Pharaoh´s evil behavior was thus embellished to him and he was led astray. Pharaoh´s plan would surely come to naught."
40:38 "The believing man said, "O my people, follow me and I will guide you."
40:39 O my people, the life of this world is a temporary livelihood. The abode of the Hereafter is an everlasting abode.
40:40 Whoever does evil, he shall be punished only equal to it. But whoever does righteous deeds in faith, male or female, they will enter Paradise and therein they will be blessed without calculation.
