23.41 . So the ( Awful ) Cry overtook them rightfully , and We made them like as wreckage ( that a torrent hurleth ) . A far removal for wrongdoing folk!
23. 23.42 . Then after them We brought forth other generations .
23. 23.43 . No nation can outstrip its term , nor yet postpone it .
23. 23.44 . Then We sent our messengers one after another . Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him ; so We caused them to follow one another ( to disaster ) and We made them bywords . A far removal for folk who believe not!
23. 23.45 . Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a clear warrant
23. 23.46 . Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs , but they scorned ( them ) and they were despotic folk .
23. 23.47 . And they said : Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves , and whose folk are servile unto us?
23. 23.48 . So they denied them , and became of those who were destroyed .
23. 23.49 . And we verily gave Moses the Scripture , that haply they might go aright .
23. 23.50 . And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent , and We gave them refuge on a height , a place of flocks and water springs .
