(43:44) And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. (43:45) And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? (43:46) And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds." (43:47) But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them. (43:48) And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith]. (43:49) And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided." (43:50) But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.
