(40:29) O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct." (40:30) And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies - (40:31) Like the custom of the people of Noah and of `Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants. (40:32) And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling - (40:33) The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any guide. (40:34) And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, `Never will Allah send a messenger after him.` Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic." (40:35) Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
