this among our fathers of old."

37. Msa (Moses) said: "My Lord knows best him who came with guidance from Him, and whose will be the happy end in the Hereafter. Verily, the Zlimn (wrong-doers, polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh) will not be successful."

38. Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "O chiefs! I know not that you have an ilh (a god) other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Hmn, to bake (bricks out of) clay, and set up for me a Sarhan (a lofty tower, or palace, etc.) in order that I may look at (or look for) the Ilh (God) of Msa (Moses); and verily, I think that he [Msa (Moses)] is one of the liars."

39. And he and his hosts were arrogant in the land, without right, and they thought that they would never return to Us.

40. So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them all into the sea (and drowned them). So behold (O Muhammad ) what was the end of the Zlimn [wrong-doers, polytheists and those who disbelieved in the Oneness of their Lord (Allh), or rejected the advice of His Messenger Msa (Moses)].

41. And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped.

42. And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be among Al-Maqbuhn (those who are prevented to receive Allh's Mercy or any good, despised or destroyed, etc.).

43. And indeed We gave Msa (Moses), after We had destroyed the generations of old, the Scripture [the Taurt (Torah)] as an enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that they might remember (or receive admonition).

44. And you (O Muhammad ) were not on the western side (of the Mount), when We made clear to Msa (Moses) the commandment, and you were not among those present.

45. But We created generations [after generations i.e. after Msa (Moses)], and long were the ages that passed over them. And you (O Muhammad ) were not a dweller among the people of Madyan (Midian), reciting Our Verses to them. But it is We Who kept sending (Messengers).

46. And you (O Muhammad ) were not at the side of the Tr (Mount) when We did call, [it is said that Allh called the followers of Muhammad , and they answered His Call, or that Allh called Msa (Moses)]. But (you are sent) as a mercy from your Lord, to give warning to a people to whom no warner had come before you, in order that they may remember or receive admonition. [Tafsir At-Tabar, Vol. 20, Page 81].

47. And if (We had) not (sent you to the people of Makkah) in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth, they should have said: "Our Lord! Why did You not send us a Messenger? We should then have followed Your Ayt (Verses of the Qur'n) and should have been among the believers."

48. But when the truth (i.e. Muhammad with his Message) has come to them from Us, they say: "Why is he not given the like of what was given to Msa (Moses)? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Msa (Moses) of old? They say: "Two kinds of magic [the Taurt (Torah) and the Qur'n] each helping the other!" And they say: "Verily! In both we are disbelievers."

49. Say (to them, O Muhammad ): "Then bring a Book from Allh, which is a better guide than these two [the Taurt (Torah) and the Qur'n], that I may follow it, if you are truthful."

50. But if they answer you not (i.e. do not believe in your doctrine of Islmic Monotheism, nor follow you), then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allh? Verily! Allh guides not the people who are Zlimn (wrong-doers, disobedient to Allh, and polytheists).

51. And indeed now We have conveyed the Word (this Qur'n in which is the news of everything to them), in order that they may remember (or receive admonition).

52. Those to whom We gave the Scripture [i.e. the Taurt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] before it, - they believe in it (the
